summer tale

sometimes I like to make pretty videos of my wife. this is one of them. we took a walk in the woods and enjoy the summer evening. The song that is playing in the video i really enjoy. it is called " I Can't Get You Out of My Mind" by Matthew Perryman Jones. Enjoy.

im irish....

claire asked me to make her a mix full of irish tunes from my itunes. while i was putting together a collection of fun, whiskey drinking, toe tapping and story telling tunes. I then remembered Kate Rubsy. Anyone heard of her? Well if not, you should. Check out the album called "Ten" which is a greatest hits collection. Her voice is heart-breaking and her story telling (that is how irish sing by the way) whimsickle!
"Ten" reminds me of winter of 2004. I remember driving to westboro, ma and going to six or seven record shops trying to find this record before i returned to college. I finally found it in a borders books. It was winter time, snow was on the ground and sun was going down. Irish music has wonderful winter emotions. I know it is summer. but it feels good to feel cold. At least when it is 95 outside.

in the morning

i must admit.
i have been enjoying some Banana Nut Cheerios.
i think i eat about three bowls a day.

windmills

sunday nights are sad.
tomorrow starts another week and five days until time to rest.
this seaon in my life. i am waiting. i am just sitting on the shore.

i want to chase a windmill. anyone want to join?

until then i am enjoying a song Windmills by Toad the Wet Sprocket


I spend too much time raiding windmills
We go side by side laugh until it's right

Take the darkest hour break it open
Water to repair what we have broken

There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
And anyway the wind blows
All worth waiting for

Pull on the borders to lighten the load
Tell all the passengers we're going home

I spend too much time seeking shelter
World without end couldn't hold her

Listen to the "Windmills by Toad the Wet Sprocket"
