So, I'm starting to get worried. I'm finding myself having to think twice about a lot of things. Small things - like what to call a strainer. (I'm 44 and have the occasional spirit. Still co-sleeping with clingy DS. Not the most well rested person.)
My family has been enjoying playing Rock Band 2. So, I wanted to stack the play list with songs I actually know. So - I flash back to the "young years" when I went on tour with some rock festivals. Great memories...sort of. But, I can sing note for note every damn song of every band on the various tours. (Like the Smashing Pumpkins who always needed to interrupt our sets by adding uninvited music to our poetry. Can they recite my poems all these years later? Bet not! Anyway, I digress.)
So, I ask my husband, "remember that star I had this weird relationship with? What was that song with the wishing well?" But, I can't remember the Band, the star's name or name of the song. I found myself actually terrified tonight. How could I forget the details about someone with who I shared a few bizarre summers? And until recently, this was one of my favourite stories to tell....how could I forget the details?
My husband coached me to remember...it was The Breeders and the song was Cannonball.
But, should I be worried?
