You already knew that the three men you admired most - the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost - caught the last train for the coast, the day the music died.

> [@medstar](#): > > Apparently, Idina Menzel excelled in mathematics because she mentioned the word fractals in the song, “Let It Go”, from Frozen. That line always jars me.

From an entirely different song, I was unaware (despite living for decades in the Midwest) that it was possible to see your reflection in the snow covered hills. ---
