A Good Day for Blogging

It could have been an ordinary day. Rainy and cold. No gas in the car.

In fact, it could have been a not-so-good day. When I went to get gas, I couldn't remember where the button-that-opens-the-gas-door-flap-thing was. Luckily for me, I have a totally shoddily manufactured car, so I was able to pry it open with my fingers.

I was feeling saucy, so I put exactly $10.90 worth of gas in my slammin' vehicle.

At the register, I gave the cashier a 20, my second paycheck ever steadily dwindling away. And then, like magic, in that eerie green color, my change was displayed.

$9.10

I smiled.

Back in the Megmobile, skies were getting bluer.

On 88.1, the announcer signed off, saying:

"I'll leave you with a song from Yma Sumac"

Yma Sumac?! Only the best exotica singer in all HISTORY! Only the woman with the largest range in all HISTORY! Yes!

This called for some serious air-punching.

I flew down the streets with Yma blasting. She trilled; I thrilled. And then, my community radio station segued into the Concert Calendar. I was contemplating taking another visit to BB's Jazz, Blues, and Soups when the reader signed off, saying

"I'm Seth Wahlman and this is KDHX."

Seth Wahlman?! Seth Wahlman of the Wahlman Four! Oh, Seth. Seth of lip-ring fame. How many nights did I spend at the concerts in your garage? And your older brother had it bad for my half-Japanese half-Greek best friend. I had it for your younger brother, and your other brother was my sister's first boyfriend! When they talked on the phone, he would play his trumpet incessantly because he was too afraid to make conversation! Oh Seth! You are still in St. Louis? Seth, you are a wonderful wonderful man!

Those three events may have been the most exciting, unexpected 15 minutes of my life.

Now I have to go drop off my Dad's daytimer. He left it at home.

Can this day get any better?

(I'm back in St. Louis, but when I went to Cha Yoon at 10:30 last night, they were closing. I love you, St. Louis night life! Laurel returns from The City Of Lights soon.)

Let the healing begin!
