so ruby and i were winding down two-one-lane-bridges-in-a-row road, ushering the taco bell to the boys waiting our arrival at the bowling alley and this Self song comes on the tape, because i’ve been listening to it a bit lately. i promised darlingjason i’d give it a serious listen and it’s pretty rad.

so i’m driving over one-lane bridge #1 and the song “hey lou” comes on and suddenly i’m grinning like a big doof, because i’m remembering speeding down highway five last night, with darlingjason tapping his foot and me singing the “over and over and over” part and he pipes in with the “and and and and” part. it was so cute. and just damn fun and made me feel young and full of potential.

so i was thinking of that on my way to the bowling alley, and i remembered that i have to put that aside as happiness. a biscuit of sheer joy, when i need it later.
