I know this is silly.

Okay, I know. But, I just found out that Cross Canadian Ragweed broke up. (New band: Cody Canada and the Departed) My favorite band is not together any more and this sorta rocks my world, not in a good way. This ranks with two other strange cultural events that have had a strange emotional impact that is silly even to me.

1. Watching Andre Agassi play his last US Open tournament. This was the tournament where is back gave out. I cried watching him play. I was 26.

2. The end of the storyline for the For Better or For Worse comic strip. I had never felt like I had grown up with a character, but I felt that way about the kids in that comic strip. I was 28.

Go ahead and laugh, it's a bit ridiculous. But really, my world is rocked.

Things that have made me happy this week.

1. Five days in Oklahoma City on Tinker Air force Base with the following:
a. Babies who are no longer babies
b. More snow than any of us wanted to deal with
c. She who is talented and wise but whom I often still think is full of shit
d. Talking and talking and talking

2. The women on both sides of me at zumba this evening, on my right the woman was tall and willowy and blond and everything she did was graceful. On my left the woman was red faced, and kept laughing when she turned the wrong way. They both smiled with me during the whole class.

3. My current music obsession Jason Boland's, Comal County Blue and Robert Earl Keen's collection, Best.

4. The book I'm reading, The Shadow of the Wind, so good.

5. Reading blogs written by my smart, funny, insightful friends.

6. My 6th period...4 good natured boys with wildly different personalities. But, they like one another and they like me.

7. My beasties, both the good one and the bad one.

8. That my handsome friend took me to the airport last week. I like being humored.
