Sitting in the Honda dealership having my 40k service, too short of an appointment to get a ride back to homestead - and back here - or take out a loaner.
So this massive room with a 35-40 ceiling and - honestly way too loud - surround sound. Trying to read about elderberry/flower, cursing Lindsey Buckingham, finishing coffee.
Then, Annie.

"It's Alright Baby's Coming Back"
____________________
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been, no
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time, no, no, no
I'll be your cliff
[you can fall down from me]
I'll be your ledge
[you can lean upon me]
I'll be your bridge
[your flowering tree]
You can still depend on me
And I'll be
[the ticking of your clock]
And I'll be
[the numbers on your watch]
And I'll be
[your hands to stop the time]
I'll even be your danger sign
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time, no
And I'll be
[your grace, your dignity]
And I'll be
[your night, your destiny]
And I'll be
[your comfort and your ease]
I will be your storm at seas
And I'll be
[your sharp intake of breath]
And I'll be
[your work, I'll take no rest]
And when the world falls to decline
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
And I'll be
[your cliff, you can fall down from me]
And I'll be
[your ledge, you can lean upon me]
And I'll be [your bridge, your flowering tree]
You can still depend on me
And I'll be
[the ticking of your clock]
And I'll be
[the numbers on your watch]
And I'll be
[your hands to stop the time]
I'll even be your danger sign
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time, yeah
It's alright, baby's coming back
[take it easy, make him safe tonight]
And I don't really care where he's been
[take it easy, make him safe tonight]

I thought I would die at 41, when I had a bad fall and broke a leg while mountaineering alone. I splinted the leg as best I could and started to lever myself down the mountain, clumsily, with my arms. In the long hours that followed, I was assailed by memories, both good and bad. Most were in a mode of gratitude — gratitude for what I had been given by others, gratitude too that I had been able to give something back.
At nearly 80, with a scattering of medical and surgical problems, none disabling, I feel glad to be alive — “I’m glad I’m not dead!” sometimes bursts out of me when the weather is perfect. (This is in contrast to a story I heard from a friend who, walking with Samuel Beckett in Paris on a perfect spring morning, said to him, “Doesn’t a day like this make you glad to be alive?” to which Beckett answered, “I wouldn’t go as far as that.”) I am grateful that I have experienced many things — some wonderful, some horrible — and that I have been able to write a dozen books, to receive innumerable letters from friends, colleagues, and readers, and to enjoy what Nathaniel Hawthorne called ‘an intercourse with the world.’

I've got a lover back in japan
He's got tattoos
He's my Superman
I try to call him up from time to time
We can talk about the weather
Is the weather fine?
