good thoughts barry.
welcome back. dreary mondays are good fo rstuff like this.

tracks on CDs. i've thought before that if 4,5,6 and 8 are good songs, the
CD must be good. something like that - or more likely, that those are the
secret best songs on the CD. my looser thought is this - the middle is
always the best, much like the frosting, filling or cheesy part of
somethign good to eat. they are incredbile! but alone, they'd be
overpowering, grandiose and sickening. they need those layers of crust and
bread and meat and stuff to make it stan dout as special.

road trips: must play Joshua Tree.

driving: don't do random, skipping == ok. repeating cds is ok while
talking, or while dave's sleeping.
