SUMMERTIME
It was a long week, between work deadlines, parenting, and administrivia, that I hardly noticed the calendar flip to August. These are truly the dog days of summer: temps above 90, baseball heating up, football still weeks away, every other person out of town on vacation. So while I'm feverishly cranking out reports at work and trying to stay on top of responsibilities at home, I'm also trying to make a minute or three to chill. Here is some of the background soundtrack to get me there. (Yes, I stopped listening to pop music in the mid-90's.)
Paris - Mellow Madness [warning: explicit lyrics]
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Summertime
Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia (as performed by the Tufts Beelzebubs)
Boyz II Men - End of the Road
Rich Mullins - Calling Out Your Name
Francis Scott Key - Star Spangled Banner (as performed by the Dixie Chicks)
Too Short - Life is . . . Too Short
LL Cool J - Goin' Back to Cali
Alphaville - Forever Young
Don Henley - Boyz of Summer
Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
TLC - Waterfalls
