Well, I had a wonderful and blessed weekend. Krystal and the boys came to visit, and we had so much fun! John even surprised me by flying in (he and Krystal had been in cahoots!) :-) It was fantastic and fun. I am always so grateful to be surrounded by best friends.

On a completely random note-
So I heard this Coldplay song off a recent EP awhile back and I guess I thought it was about something totally different than what it was. I thought it was about the bombing of Nagasaki and the fact that it was the 2nd-choice target, because the primary target had 70% cloud cover. All of this was based on me not hearing the lyrics quite right. I thought, man, this is a sad song! Imagine my surprise when I looked up the lyrics and found, no, it's *actually* just about a rainy day. So below are the real lyrics, and underneath some lines, what I heard and my comments.

"Rainy Day"
Then there was rain
The sky wore a veil of gold and green
At night it was the bright of the moon with me
(I heard: At night it was the blight of Enola Gay - you see because the cloud cover messed them up. I thought I heard Enola Gay and so this is what set me up)
Time is just floating away

Then there was rain
The sound foundations are crumbling
(I heard: This town, foundations are crumbling - as opposed to the other town, that didn't get bombed)
Through the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling
(To the ground, come the buildings tumbling)
And time was just floating away
What could we say?
And we can listen

Oh rainy day, come 'round
Sometimes i just want it to slow down
(Ok, so thinking how a rainy day saved this one city, so we shouldn't all be down on the rain)
And we're separated now, i'm down
But i love it when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house
(I admit, I couldn't figure out how this fit in)

Then there was rain
I spent the night with the Queen Of Spain
(I heard: Eyes bugging out of the Queen of Spain - she's shocked at this international tragedy)
My lonely little heart would have broke again
Times were vicious
Saying deeper the knife goes in I know you win
(The deeper that the knife goes in the more you win - the tragedy of the victories of war)
You win what with less than when you begin
Deeper than the knife goes in
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhh

...And it goes on to repeat...

Yeah, pretty ridiculous of me huh? :-p
