All morning, I’ve had a song in my head. I own the CD, and the song is on my I-Tunes, so this isn’t TOTALLY random. What happened is, right after lunch when I finally got to sit and plug the speakers in, I opened I-Tunes, just hit “play” and on it came!

Getting the right song out of a possible 760 something songs is pretty good odds I’d say.

And yes, all my sorting options are set as randomly as possible, this just happened the way it did out of the blue.

I turned it up. Probably TOO up, but tough, my door says “Director”, I get to do that once in a while. 😃

Only 760 songs?  
Still, pretty long odds.

Not you too.

I hear from the kid all the time: “Yup, dad - just passed 2000 today, how many are you on now?”

Little brat.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.  
My iTunes is close to showing X number of _weeks_ of playtime, but I listen consistantly to roughly that many songs.

Weeks? I wonder how many days of music you need before you can get it in weeks?

More than 22.1 obviously.
