one of my favorite bands is collective soul. they have about five or six
cd's out. rock based but very up beat. i picked up their newest one the
other day and it had this song on it called perfect day. i listened to it
while running and it's hard to focus then, but i immediately liked it. later
in the day i listened to it in the car and i figured it out. elton john is
singing and playing on it. in fact, it was the piano riffs that stood out to
me while running. i have their collection and i have never heard acoustic
piano on anything they have ever done. at least not played like a blues
piano.
my 8 year old girls were both sick yesterday too, so i stayed home because my
wife had meetings. after lunch, they were playing with their doll house. i
was intrigued. so i sat down with them and started playing with them. they
immediately invited me into their world which was invisible to me as i
fretted not being in the office that day. they were getting ready for tea.
the mommy and daddy were taking a nap while the children were making the tea.
the dog had eye glasses.(both my daughters wear glasses) the cat was the
boss of the house. then an argument started about a girl in their
class...kristen saussy...one twin said it was kristen sausage and the other
refuted her. then the doll family had tea.
then my wife came home and said i could go to work but i stayed for an extra
half hour to play dolls.
i realize today, it was a perfect day.
