Don't listen to the sappy love songs on the radio...

Every song on the radio triggers a distant associative memory to some event or a long drive in the car across our daytripping adventures, happier times, pre-children, post children, special milestones, and other sad times like those long drives in the night back from City of Hope. At the same time, I am drawn to tuning in everytime I feel blue. Common sense tells me - Stay away from listening to sappy love songs and feeling all the more blue. It's a dichotomy of feelings - stay away...no, listen in...what should I do?...Oh well!! I decided to listen to one of the love songs channels - KOST 103.5 or Karen Sharp's dedications at night and I feel Nook is trying to play 'our' songs to make me feel better. There's always a song for every mood and frame of mind. He reads my mind, the radio plays it, I feel better again. The 'blue' feeling has passed on.......
