home
tonight was so not fun.
i guess it was what people do. i'm not like that. i'm glad i'm not like that. i held my own, but it was definitely not my scene.
i started home in the rain at about 0130. i didn't mean to, but i started singing aloud on the drive. (i do that sometimes, reflexively, especially after a rough night. it helps to calm me.) that's when i found that i was hoarse from the yelling just to make normal conversation. er, not normal conversation. small talk. [shudder]
what comes out when i am singing by myself? usually the last song i heard on the radio 'cause it's fresh in my head, some church song, or a jazz ballad. so tonight, with hoarseness? (remember, hoarseness = sultriness.) "corcovado" and "cry me a river". (of course.)
i miss it so much.
jazz is home.

heidi, that is such a compliment to me. i do try to let my natural "voice" come out on this blog. i am glad to know someone hears it the way it is supposed to sound.
i think what it means, to put it in the vernacular, is that you get me, and maybe if we talked more i would get you too. it is always nice to find a sister who can relate.
now, when are you going to post some pictures of your knitting? : )
