  1. Tower of Strength

    Don't know if anyone remembers The Mission UK, a spin-off Sisters of Mercy band from the 1980s. They have a song called "Tower Of Strength" that gives me shivers - it reminds me of God. Plus the music/rhythm is super-catchy:

    You raise me up
    When I'm on the floor
    You see me through
    When I'm lonely and scared
    And I'm feeling true to the written word

  4. The Birthday Itself

    On Monday June 4th at 11 pm I'm loose from AAA Dispatch and it's a 15 minute drive home to dreary Fairborn where my dog Onyx always looks out the living room window when he hears the car pull in the driveway. We rent our home on the corner next to a Dairy Mart (with a field in between) that gets robbed twice a year. They overcharge for candy bars (79 cents) but the family owners are friendly enough.
