I'm still listening to my happy fun CD in my car. Although, I think it says something about me that a "cheerful" CD includes Nick Drake. But that's part of the mellow set in the middle; the CD is still overall very cheerful. Besides, I don't think Nick Drake's music is depressing. Heartfelt and melancholy, but not depressing. Maybe that's because I can't make out most of his lyrics.
I know that "cute kid" stories can be annoying, but I overheard something hilarious yesterday. I was at the post office dropping off some letters before the last pickup. This is the kind of post office where the clerks are all inside this room with a big glass wall, and all the automated stuff (like stamp machines and mailboxes and the mail drop) are outside that room.
Anyway there was a long line inside and this little boy was standing by the mail drop with his face pressed up against the glass, reading the signs inside. I guess he was keeping himself busy while his parent waited in line. He was spelling out the words on the signs: "W - I - N - D - O - W - H - O - U - R - S. Window Horse! 8:30 to 5:00!!"
He sounded so excited. Like he thought there was a horse there every day from 8:30 to 5! He looked all around, I guess trying to see the window horse. It was all I could do to keep from laughing until I got outside.
