sunday
number one: the first flower of the season has bloomed. it is small yellow and perfect - and it is in my front yard. i was so pleased to see it i took a photograph of it.number two: it's roughly sixty degrees outside and i couldn't be happier about it. took the long route to the library this afternoon and thought about the soundtrack that each country provides. jewish waltzes quite literally played outside my jerusalem hotel room, ecuadorian dance music came through my in-law's windows in quito, eastern techno somehow found its way into romanian late night walks. i'm imagining ruthie and katie are surrounded by some sort of tango-jive in argentina. what music accompanies people who visit america? very rarely does outside music come through our windows in northeast portland - and if it does, it's some sort of version of the clash or guns n' roses from my eighteen year old neighbor next door. hardly romantic.

In Italy they play outdated American music in restaurants. The Grease soundtrack is amazingly popular, and I wonder if they've been playing it since the movie came out...never tiring of it.
Much love.
i love tango jive. and i love you.
