out of the blu....

funny that you showed up today in a place where you knew i would be...

funnier still that i had just spoken your name only hours before...

funny...but pleasant...

nice to see you in my in-box...

nicer still to have you dial my number today...

nice and needed...

good talking with you...

great to make tentative plans to see you...

not in anticipation of picking up where we left off...

but in an effort to stengthen a friendship's foundation that was barely laid...to become reacquainted with a lovely spirit and an old soul...and to again laugh with you...

because it is your laughter that i remember best...each chuckle a gift bringing joy...

and just at the point where the lazy, hayze days of summer are drawing to a close...you show up...out of the blu....

Why am I reminded of Rickie Lee Jones' "Chucky's in Love"? LOL
Maybe 'cause I listened to that cd this past weekend, but prefer "Coolsville"(("In the Winston liips of September how we met") and "Last Chance Texaco".

It is actually "Chuck E's in Love" but here are the COOLSVILLE lyrics.
********************************
I and Braggar, and Junior Lee,
well that's the way we always thought it would be
In the wind-strewn leaves of September, how we met

IN THE WINSTON LIPS OF SEPTEMBER, HOW WE MET

Decked out like aces, we'd beat anybody's bet

Cuz we was Coolsville....cuz we was Coolsville

Well you stick it here;
you stick it over there;
but it never fits

And now a hungry night you want more and more
and you chip in your little kiss.

AND YOU'RE CHIPPYIN' YOUR LITTLE KISS

Well, I jumped all his jokers,
but he trumped all my tricks

And I swear to God I thought this one was smart enough to
stick it into Coolsville.....yeah stick it into Coolsville...

So now it's J and B, and me, and that sounds close,
but it ain't the same (well, that's okay)
Hot City don't hurt that much but everything feels the same
Well the real thing come and the real thing go...
Well the real thing is back in town...
Ask me if you wanna know The way to Coolsville....
(Well I hear you wanna go back to Coolsville...
Well come on honey, take you back...to Coolsville)
