Saturday night nostalgia....

...because the air smells all randomly nostalgic.

Enough work for now, I need a break! Therefore, I'm taking a break, after all, I'm on Christmas break! :)

So, I met with very dear friends yesterday - finally - after a long time!  Thank goodness for the holidays!  The "reunion" was worth the wait... it was like being in an old place, surounded by all-familiar things, warm and soothing - all wonderful things.  Animated, fun but always informative conversations, enriching as always.  And the wonderful time inspired good memories to come rushing in.  Old pictures, old books, old test papers (yep, test papers!  Freakily geeky, I know!)... and old experimental set-up and data notebooks.  Uh, nah, save it!  You don't have to say it 'cause I know... I'm too lame!  But, doesn't lame usually go with nostalgia though?  ;)  

Hmmm, something "clicked"... it was the latch of a memory vault that was shut close for a while now, and the not-so-distant past was out before I could catch the lid to shut the vault close again.  Oh, well... it isn't all that bad anyway.  I just thought I'd play this though....


"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life. I know you'll be a star... in somebody else's sky. But why, why, why can't it be, why can't it be.... mine?"


Whew!  Oh, boy... angst with a capital "A"!  Incredible! 

But, why, why, why... why can't I sing like that??? 😅😂  Probably because I've never had my heart as badly broken as Eddie Vedder's had been. 😉  His girl left him, and he howls.  Therefore, I leave all the howling, er, singing to the 'small man with a BIG voice'! 

Go, Eddie... howl away, dude!
