Ok, I can’t believe I haven’t posted this song yet.    http://www.youtube.com/v/KQ6zr6kCPj8?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

Was at a happy hour get-together for Team In Training’s Fall Team.  We were standing around talking about the upcoming season and the first TNT cycling team from the Northern San Joaquin chapter and I heard this familiar tune.  Of course, I immediately thought of Sid and Diego and Manfred… love those guys.  Came homeContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 132-Send Me On My Way”

Not sure when I first heard this song, but it didn’t really do much for me then.  It’s grown on me, though.  The beat just keeps coming back and then it insinuates itself into your brain and you find yourself humming the tune.  And the little ballerina is sweet, too.   http://www.youtube.com/v/dGghkjpNCQ8?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

A friend shared this on Facebook yesterday; another new song from Mumford & Sons…  Anxiously awaiting their next album… savoring these precious tidbits before the full feast.  Yeah, I Heart Mumford & Sons.   http://www.youtube.com/v/gKImMRZMryU?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

Maurice Sendak died today.  I don’t remember “Where the Wild Things Are” from my childhood, but I remember reading it to my oldest nephew when he was a toddler.  We both loved the pictures and the story of a little boy who roared with the wild creatures.  Years later, I watched the movie and fellContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 129-All Is Love”

Watching Castle’s season finale tonight and this song came to mind.  Timeless.   http://www.youtube.com/v/8a3jr-Xn1GM?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I was not made for here If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary, then of course I’ll feel nude when to where I’m destined I’m compared Speak to me in the lightContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 127-C.S. Lewis Song”

I wrote earlier about remembering a cassette tape that my daughter received from a friend at the end of their 8th grade year.  This is the song that I remembered most from that cassette and that summer.  

Saw an amazing production of “The Grapes of Wrath” tonight.  Awesome performances and the set was perfectly sparse and the music… well the music was provided by a live bluegrass/folk band and they provided the perfect cadence to the poignant, painful story of the Joad family.  I came home thinking of the music and beganContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 125-Rye Whiskey”

I heard this song this evening and reminded me of a cassette that Mandy received from a friend at the end of her 8th grade year.  We were moving to the Central Valley from the Bay Area and she was dealing with the transition, leaving friends and school and all that she had known forContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 124-Kiss Me”
