Dear Folks:

As I have gotten older I have noticed that there are many experiences that set off associations in my memory, where my immediate responce has been sadness, a controled cry, a image of joy, or an older appreciation of wonder. I tend to called it 'my deepening'...

Taylor Swift? Much too skinny for my taste. And for me, with Tania, the voice is the thing.

That's exactly why Baskin-Robbins makes 31 flavors --

I had something similar happen to me once. I was in the National Museum of American History about two maybe three years ago and was going through the war exhibit. When we got to the Vietnam section, there was a replica helicopter sitting in what was made to look like a marsh of some sort. I had this sudden vision where I could hear the sound of the helicopter. I could feel the water seeping into my boots. Every step was difficult from the muck. I could feel the humid air on my face and the weight of a helmet resting on a band around my hand, and it came with a very strong sense of apprehension and dread. I'm pretty sure I was just imagining what it would be like to be there, but the strength of what I felt was so overwhelming that the memory of it still sticks with me.

If when you got home, you suddenly realized you had acquired foot fungus, I'd have to say that that was freaky accurate!

To be honest, I never liked Country music (except when Johnny Cash did Trent Reznor/NiN), and I don't go for reality tv shows.. but I found myself watching one that had Keith Urban in it. Still don't like country music, but I find myself wanting to go to his next concert!!

Sagacious Hawk:  I guess what I'm wondering is if these type experiences are what account for the "so called" religious epiphanies.

Reality TV is an effort by the networks to make the most money selling commercials for the least production expense, and is basically watched by those too mindless to be able to follow a plot.

On numerous occasions, I have experienced very emotional memories of experiences that I've never actually experienced in my life, triggered by music. It's really quite fascinating how mere vibrations can trigger such a vivid and emotional reaction.

Errrr no, its called a vivid imagination. Its what gets the Westboro Baptist Church such a bad name.

Next time you take your beautiful wife out for lunch, treat her to some Thai food.
