I'm sitting here at my desk, trying very hard to behave like the responsible professional they take me for, but it's so hard! You see, Diana Ross' "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is sailing through my powerful little white iPod speakers.
Keep your hands on the keyboard, Gal! Do not reach for the sky (ain't mountain high enough) and then drop your hands earthward (ain't no valley low enough) or spread your arms as far as they'll go (ain't no river wide enough) or point to your heart (to keep me) and then point away (from you).
Uh-oh! If this is the playlist I think it is, "Midnight Train to Georgia" is next!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Important to know? cubicle or office?
ReplyDeleteI have a little whole in the wall office in the netherlands of the lab where I get to sing along...all by myself. What did we do before Ipods? That's right, we listened to the radio and ads.
Go ahead, lift up those arms and if anyone asks, just tell them you're doing a deodorant check for the good of the office.
I can resist
ReplyDeleteI love those two songs.
