Whimsical D

This week has sent me some sounds from the past.  It rained in SoCal, which never happens, and I fell asleep listening to the rain.  It reminded me of the summer storms we used to get in Atlantic Beach NC and the winters on campus when you would wake up to the rain and skip class (sorry mom) because it was freezing out and trekking across campus in the freezing rain was not worth the lecture  in the freshman seminar class that was full of like 300 kids who smelled like the frat party from the night before.

I also heard the sound of a band I haven’t heard in like 14 years, Creamy Velour. I love that band and the one album they put out only in NC.  It is packed full of some really great times.  I think I spent like $100 dollars playing that album @ the Corner Bar on the juke box.

If only The First Carolina Deli would send me an Arlington (Mmmmmm) … okay so I went to the FCD web page and the Arlington is not on the menu anymore!  That’s just wrong, how did the Taylor Ham & Cheese make it but not the Arlington?  Time to end the rant.
