| rain and music |
it is 7:20 a.m. i woke over an hour ago to go running. the rain is pouring from the sky, however. so i've done sit ups, push ups, and other assorted exercises involving weights, but i just can't bring myself to step into the downpours.
i need to pick up my zipcar in 30 minutes, though, b/c i'm heading back down to the folks' house today. i'm going to a wedding, by myself. leaving beloved and the kids home alone - it was going to be so the girls could play in their softball games tomorrow, but now i'm not sure they'll HAVE softball games.
mom and i are giving my dad an iPod for Father's Day. I spent a couple of hours last night burning disks from MY iTunes so I can load his pod tonight, and give it to him tomorrow, all ready to go. I think he's pretty lucky to get an iPod pre-loaded with 200 songs. What kind of songs do you give your DAD, though? That was the question.
Dad was in Vietnam, but he didn't see combat. He's never been "into" music, and doesn't have stuff that he likes. There was one point where I know he listened to Creedence Clearwater Revival, and another where he was listening to Barbara Streisand. You know what? I don't have either of those in my library.
I gave him the Beatles, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Diana Krall, and a wee bit of classical. Oh, and some Fleetwood Mac.
He and my mom listen to Praise Music in their car. Funny that i don't have any of that, either. I'm sure it shocks you all. That I don't have CDs of people saying "thank you, jesus!" in the background to the chorus of the songs. |
