Prelude

[chargirlgenius]

They’ve been testing the fire alarms in our building all day. JOY. Instead of subjecting myself to that, I’ve been listening to the iPod rather loud, likely destroying my hearing. At least I’m enjoying myself.

Occasionally, songs come along that stop you in your track, and you just have to close your eyes and listen. I’m sure that everybody knows what I’m talking about.

Today, it was Bach’s Prelude, which I have from the Master and Commander soundtrack. Usually, it evokes images of tall ships on high seas, and I always love it. Instead, I had a very different image fed to me, very clearly, by my subconscious. I saw Eddie playing, a larger version of himself, but still with his little boy features. Somehow, it wasn’t ridiculous, but it made sense that it was him, just older. He had his serious, concentrating expression on his face, and made the cello sing like a deep baritone voice.

Maybe someday. I think Eddie has it in him. Henry? I don’t think he’d sit still long enough. :-D

Last night, we dug through the boys’ clothes, looking to see what we need and can give away. I *still* have some 3/6 month stuff, even. Oof. I’m sending four (diaper-sized) boxes of stuff to my sister for my nephew. We have a lot of shopping to do, though. Henry’s taller than Eddie, but Eddie has a longer torso. That boy’s legs need to grow!

We also gathered and catalogued a box full of our own stuff to go to Goodwill. Now, just to get there…

Last year, it sat around the house until Dec. 27th, when Jeff took it in along with everybody else in the county. With Freecycle, I don’t think you can claim the tax deduction. :-D

Eddie does that with the guitar. I could have probably made the same post about any Clapton song. :-D

True, no tax deduction... but it gets stuff out easier! :)

Hm, he likes Clapton, she is partial to Andrew Lloyd Webber - not sure if we should get them together or keep them apart! :D
