I ended up sitting in a hotel room north of Baltimore last week as the remnants of a tropical depression poured down upon the region. After being awakened by (and continually hearing through the morning) police and ambulance sirens heading to respond to accidents on I-83, I sighed. Summer is over. Winter is coming. Ugh....
Regaining my composure, I used the opportunity to pull out my laptop and begin to assemble this mix: a mostly fun, slightly trippy little jaunt to bring a little sunshine to the cloudy, cold days ahead: some popular, some obscure, some infamous.... The rough draft was put together that afternoon, although I was reminded that I'd forgotten to rip some key CD's onto my new computer after the old one died. Some of those songs were added after I returned home late last week, and I did a great deal of re-ordering and re-tooling over the weekend (a beautiful few days of Indian Summer).
This week's forecast? Much cooler with chances of (much needed) rain. Looks like I'll be closing my eyes and putting on my headphones....
