I don't really know how it happened, but not many minutes ago, Shay and I were dancing around in the hotel room. I put some Justin Townes Earle on (thanks go to Lisa Smith for the new tunes) and out of nowhere we started dancing like nimrods. I don't dance often, but I like to do it once in awhile to make Shay laugh. I have no rhythm, which is weird because I play an instrument.
I would suppose it's pretty interesting to watch my attempts at dancing. I don't really care though, because I like to laugh with my wife. These are some of the little things that I tend to live for.
I hope that when we "grow up" we still have moments like this. I think we always will, because it only takes me about .3 seconds to slip into my goofy mode, and it usually only takes about 7 seconds after that to make Shay laugh. If nothing else, I know I can start dancing to make her laugh.
Download Mike McClure's song "Like an Idiot" and you'll know exactly what I'm describing.
Yay! Nora and I were dancing to that last night, too. We need a good barn dance around these parts. You got a barn?
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, mostly because I've heard Scott say almost the same thing before.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these glimpses, Ben. You're terrific at this post-a-day thing, too. You've got great material and a knack for capturing it.
Yes, Lisa, there are a couple of barns in the family. We would have to dodge the pigeon poop while dancing, though.
ReplyDeleteTeagan - thanks. I'm having fun with the process.
