on the return trip from a long day of work - music lessons and the norm - i was driving my Exploder and observed in my line of sight a really cool thing that made me happy. you know: warm and fuzzy happy. a man - most likely a father - and a little girl were out getting exercise together. the man was definitely getting his run on - the sweat had already stuck the upper-half of his shirt to his back and chest - while his daughter rode her little pink bike with much joy and fervor, having no problem keeping up with her daddy. just the idea that staying in shape, probably after a long days work and a very important habit to hold on to, includes procuring some quality time with your child and instilling a good habit in her. i just had thoughts of doing that later in life with my child... warm... fuzzy... not the children. until then---

Did the Pink Bike also make you think of the Parachutes song?
If so, did that contribute or detract from the warm fuzzy feeling?

Miss you!

well it actually hadn't made me think of it... until now! and surprisingly, that song doesn't remind me of the oddities that occurred with The Parachutes band - although most everything was odd. it's a happy song!

fuzzy feeling. still there.

good to hear from you!
