Beauty Is Where You Find It

So...I'm sitting on my couch yesterday afternoon. Outside it's crystal clear, cold and windy. But my anger can melt all that ice. Let's just say that the task of updating design documentation is not one of my favorites. And Microsoft Word just has a way of ruining the best of days.

But just then Bruce Hornsby ("Here Come The Noise Makers") segues from "Mandolin Rain" into a beautiful version of "Black Muddy River"...and I realize that my anger is wasted. Because for every occurence in this life of something as ugly and inelegant as Word....there are things like "Black Muddy River".

And that's what I should be focused on.

    Man, no joke. I wrote about this exact same segue back in April of last year. The whole damn album is great, ain't it?
