What’s on the iPod: I Feel Lucky by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Today is all about time off. I’ve put up the Away message, I’m signing out shortly after this post, and I’m heading out with my hubs to the Martin guitar factory, then home to prepare for two events — the Samhain/Halloween party tomorrow and Hurricane Sandy shortly thereafter. We’re in the middle of minor repairs outside, and we have exposed wood (and a few tiny leaks around vents in the roof). The goal is a water-tight existence.
In the meantime, the work will wait. Today is about decompression, reconnection to the earth, and then reconnection with the spirits tomorrow (boo!). Enjoy your weekend, and if you’re having a Halloween gathering of any sort, have a great time.
I leave you with this video, which is the closest I could find to a “grave” song. Much nicer than yet another round of Monster Mash:
Enjoy the guitar factory – it's supposed to be an amazing place!
And good luck getting the house watertight and ready for Sandy. I hope it veers off to sea, but some meteorologists are already saying it could be a worse set up than the Perfect Storm of 1991…. (I think I got the right year.)
Stay safe, Lori!
