Songs in Your Head

There is a bit of a game I like play at work on occasion, called, put a song in my co-worker's head. I walk around casually singing a line of a song and wait to hear other people singing it later, and feel so amused at my power. But, today, the game is on me. I have a song stuck in my head, an Amy Grant Christmas carol, that my co-worker, DAvid put there INTENTIONALLY by singing one line repeatedly from his office. So, I tried to use my countermeasure of singing "It's Howdy Doody Time" over and over, but so far, Amy Grant is winning. (And, yes, I do get my work done, eventually :)

Dreaming about Tea

I would like to have tea,

with Mollie, in Seattle at Remedy Tea and in Boston, with Katie at Tealuxe.

Donations can be sent to the tea travel fund!

and...

Boston

Two of my girls in Boston town.

and I would like to share a poem

by Edward Arlington Robinson

Boston
My northern pines are good enough for me,But there's a town my memory uprears --

A town that always like a friend appears,

And always in the sunrise by the sea.

And over it, somehow, there seems to be

A downward flash of something new and fierce,

That ever strives to clear, but never clears

The dimness of a charmed antiquity.

Dogless Days

It will be quite a while before I can get another dog, and I am so lonesome for one that I could cry. I found this little photo so that you could cry with me.
