Playlist For Sunday, July 29th, 2018: That Terrific Rainbow

I don't know about you, but I can't handle one more thing. Everyday lately it seems like one more straw added to the bonfire pile and any moment now, Kerflume! (I don't think that's a real word.)...I tend:
a.) to take on too much
b.) to do that "much" with too much
c.) to screw up everything else, because I'm doing too much. Of the other things.

Ever have that happen? In the past month, I lost my insurance (don't ask), my cell phone went extinct, I backed my car into a rose bush, I got carpenter ants (!!!), and I ran outta coffee!!!! How does anyone run out of coffee? My mind is gone.

Hence Colors. And Rainbows. No unicorns tho...I won't go that far. Lucky for us, there are a lot of lovely colors in Broadway song-dom, and Hollywood, as well. So we can let all these mundane, worldly problems fall away, and just float amongst the ether and relax. Right. Like I'm gonna do that.

Send coffee. Send Xanax. Send a tall Tom Collins...while I paint a rainbow.
