Thank you, VunderBod. The house, if not clean, is completely respectable, and I got in a solid three hours in the garden as well.

With _Accidently Like a Martyr_ running through my head the whole time.

I don’t have a self-appointed theme song, but two of my friends, without knowing the other had done it, put _Blister in the Sun_ by The Violent Femmes as the ringtone when I called them on their cell phones. So apparently it reminds some people of me. I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

For years it was “Kyrie” by Mr Mister. For a while I thought it was “Paper in Fire” by Mellencamp. When I first met Himself six years ago or so, it was “Bring Me To Life” by Evanecence.

Now, I’m not so sure. I must ponder…

When I was young it was Angry Young Man by Styx.

I thought about saying Lonesome Loser by Little River Band, but only for laughs.

I can’t think of one right now that fits. If I do, I’ll journey back to the thread.

Jackson Browne - “Running on Empty”

He and I are the same age, so the years and ages match.

I seem to alternate between Steely Dan’s _Deacon Blues_ and _Don’t Take Me Alive_, dependind on how surly I am at the time.
