BUH-BO . . .

Or is it Bup-Bo? Or maybe it's Boh-Boh? Who knows. All I know is that we're addicts. We just can't get enough of it. Nine grown adults, overgrown children really, playing Buh-Bo for hours and hours, flogging ourselves as if every overturned card meant life or death, chanting "buh-bo, buh-bo, buh-bo" at each other like a holy mantra. Man, I love card games.

CURIOUS . . .

We might get A-Rod. We are this close to getting A-Rod. I got three phone calls tonight from friends and family to inform me that we are getting A-Rod. Berry, berry interesting ...

ADDICTION . . .

The latest song on repeat wherever I go (and of course it's a non-sappy sappy love song): Sarah McLachlan's "Push," from her new album "Afterglow." Only ten songs, but they are all worth it. BUY IT.

Every time I look at you the world just melts away
All my troubles, all my fears dissolve in your affection
You’ve seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am
And when I fall you offer me a softer place to land


You stay the course, you hold the line, you keep it all together
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe in
You’re all the things that I desire, you save me, you complete me
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe


I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe
No matter what I say or do ‘cause you’re too good to fight about it
Even when I have to push just to see how far you’ll go
You won’t stoop down to battle but you never turn to go


You stay the course, you hold the line, you keep it all together
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe in
You’re all the things that I desire, you save me, you complete me
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe


Love is just the antidote when nothing else can cure me
There are times I can’t decide when I can’t tell up from down
You make me feel less crazy when otherwise I’d drown
But you pick me up and brush me off and tell me I’m okay
Sometimes that’s just what we need to get us through the day


You stay the course, you hold the line, you keep it all together
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe in
You’re all the things that I desire, you save me, you complete me
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe


"Push" -- Sarah McLachlan
