growing older, colder, and bolder
-65.7 Fwith a -97.8 F windchill.
That ought make Minnesota weather feel downright warm at the moment. A long night of work (monthly server maintenance) followed by an early morning video conference to arrange for a medical consultation. Tomorrow will be a tired one in the ceaseless daze of my IT world.
The world is feeling mellow tonight, steeped in nostalgia and memory. They are vibrant forces here, strong and clear, beautiful and dangerous. It’s a fine line remembering distant friends, family, and former lovers - not allowing the past and the distance to steal from life here. It’s a fine line enjoying this current space and not losing track of the world outside.
Tonight, work is distracting me in a pleasant way. I’m mellow, but in such a manner as to fall toward the nostalgia of worlds away. Funny that I find it work focusing my mind here, at my current home. Time to go out in search of a conversation, then sleep, then dream.

So, I’ve got to ask, when you’re in these moments of “growing older, colder, and bolder” what kind of music do you listen to?

something mellow, something upbeat, something nostalgic, something new…
in short? too much all over the board to give a straight answer, but the songs that strike chords find their way out in mixed cds to friends.
