Yes, I’ve been waiting for a chance to use that title again. It is rather rainy. And I do love the Carpenters. When I went home over Christmas, I made sure to bring back The Singles 1969-1973. I discovered the album as a kid, listening to my parents’ copy on vinyl, and then many years later I bought my own on CD. It’s by turns fun, weepy, kitschy, whatever you want to call it, and though of course I wasn’t around when these songs were new to the airwaves, it makes me nostalgic for my early childhood, when they were new to me.
Oh, now I’m off track. Usually I think up my entry titles after I write the entry, but since the title came first for this one, it got me all misty-eyed, and I’ve forgotten what I meant to say. The Carpenters will do that to you, you know.
