This morning the sun is shining and I decided to run. Got all ready, bite of banana, sip of OJ, pinch of almonds. Brought the iPod and of course, Arras. We headed out onto the back 40, and within seconds I was breathless just climbing the little hill in the backyard, but I had Arras and "I Shall Sing" by Garfunkel to keep me motivated. Beautiful scenery rolled by as I toiled away. It felt good. On the way home I remembered that Mark buried our cat, Hobbes last week. She was put to sleep in middle of winter, so we had to keep the body frozen until spring. Time to pay my respects. I miss poor old Hobbes, she was such a comfort sometimes. Well, as I was turning away from the grave the trees snagged my iPod wire and pulled it out of my ear. The song changed. Guess what started to play? "Come Rain or Come Shine" by BB King and Eric Clapton. Totally freaked me out. "I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you, come rain or come shine...." right there by the pet cemetery. I love you too, Hobbes. (and Sam and Odie and Kitty and Pinky!)
