Well it had been “In My Life” by the Beatles for a few days but all morning long this morning it’s " Romeo’s Tune" by Steve Forbert. But that’s only because I saw him and Leo Kottke last night. I’m sure it will be something different soon. ---

For the last week or so, I find that [Birdhouse In Your Soul](http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAbZzdalZh4) from They Might Be Giants has infested my brain. I’m not a big TMBG fan, but this one has occupied my brain for quite a while. ---

So all day yesterday it was [Pennsylvania Polka](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvBbF8wPL30), of course. But … it’s still there. C’mon brain, it’s not Groundhog Day anymore. It’s like I’m having the same earworm day after day.
