Google or use a photo from your collection of something that involves your summer. Then tell us what music figured in the most on your summer playlist this year.
The reason for the beer bottle is two-fold:
1) The team I love with every fiber of my being -- that would be the team with the best record in the National League, The Chicago Cubs -- is having a storybook season. Whether I'm at a Cubs game, or watching a Cubs game, or listening to a Cubs game through my headphones, it's better with a cold beer.
2) "You take a drink, then pass the bottle around …" The first line from "Heart and Soul," my favorite song on my favorite new CD, Peace, Love and BBQ by Marcia Ball. Something tells me this bluesy Texas girl is singing about something stronger than beer, but never mind. This works for me and my summer.

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.
I'm rooting for the Cubs to go all the way, since my Red Sox are having a rough time lately.
ReplyDeleteLove Marcia Ball! I'll have to get a listen to that album!
I have some blog-love for you!
ReplyDeletewhat if this is as good as it gets?: kick ass and think nothing of it...
