the hills are alive with the sound of music

I am really digging this "not being busy" life style.

It is pretty hard on my body though. Three weeks ago I gave up caffeine. The headaches have *finally* gone away.

I am thoroughly going through some serious decompression. Running at the speed of light, then slowly down even slightly causes some readjustments physically to your body. Your body works so hard for so long to keep up, that when you give it even a second to breathe it just sort of falls apart.

So here I sit - caffeine free tea in hand - watching for quite possibly the 70+ time "The Sound of Music." There is no better comfort movie on earth for me than this.

In the summer of '96 I had my wisdom teeth removed. They were not impacted so it was a pretty rough recovery. That story is quite possibly one of my most hilarious medical experiences, but I will save that for another time.

Anyway, summer of '96, I think I watched the Sound of Music 40+ times. I pretty much wore out the first VHS tape. (because the first one was the fun part of the movie, the second tape was too serious...)

There were days I watched it twice. Oh, the days before we had the internet! ;)

10 days until Budapest.
