if you are...

If you are sitting at the kitchen table with the windows open, realizing that the Santa Ana winds have just started blowing, and knowing what this means (as in, that's why you haven't been able to breathe through your nose for the past 2 days, and that's why, when you were making copies of the syllabus for class tomorrow that you started dry-coughing so hard you couldn't finish your conversation with the other people waiting in line for the copy machine), and you are eating a chile & cheese tamale for lunch, wondering why when you've finally found the perfect tank top with built-in underwire size-D bra, that it insists in slipping up around your midsection when you layer it under cotton shirts and then your pants, which are really just too slightly low-cut for anyone with a genetic propensity to a paunchy belly, well they are showing a bit too much skin and underwear lines because of the scrunchiness of said tank top, well if that is you, then can I tell you that the perfect music for you to be listening to just at this moment is Poe's "5 1/2 Minute Hallway." Just in case you needed to know that.

Lol. Being genetically inclined toward a paunchy belly AND having a torso too long for most cami-type-tank-tops, I know EXACTLY what you are feeling!

I do agree that we cannot really experiment with love as freely as we wish, but I'll have to wait to try the chili/cheese tamale another time to get the full experience. :-)

Poe provides the perfect song to be listening to in many situations, and I'm glad to know that you are someone who knows that too.

Oh man, I'm completely unqualified on every level except for the belly to listen to 5 1/2 Minute Hallway!

Do you think that I would enjoy it if I could get some kind of a special permit?

Happy Rosh Hashana and a sweet New Year.
