Born to run...Yep, I'm with you there, although I like Born in the USA also. Do you listen to any Steve Earle? He's a little Springsteenesque. I think you either have, or do...I've got an Steve Earle playlist. Not an every week player, but now and then I throw it on.

I love Steve Earle. My last GF (who was psychotic it turns out) turned me on to Steve Earle and I liked him alot. Sometimes today when I listen to Steve Earle I get a bad taste in my mouth that has nothing to do with Mr. Earle :)

I figured you would...At least that psychotic ex had one benefit huh? Put you into Steve Earle...Hopefully your flashbacks aren't too bad though.

That was, quite literally, the wildest situation I've ever been involved in. If I may be frank (I always am) the woman would fight or fuck at the drop of a hat. Even if she dropped it.

Her musical tastes were exquisite. Steve Earle was only one of them. She was a seriously good guitar player and quite a good singer. A just plain lot of nights I went to sleep to the sound of her guitar. With apology to Mr. Dickens "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."

Far as I know she's doing time. The next guy after me died in her arms, and the prosecutor thought it wasn't entirely accidental. She inherited his estate...

Seems like you dodged a bullet...I didn't see the last paragraph coming; A perfectly gentle way of saying it how it is.

I have traveled a long strange path. It's been a lot of fun, to be honest. Even most of the bad shit has been after I was through it.

That's a good ethos to have; Regret makes for a poor companion.

Never. Ever. Be worth more to somebody dead than alive. :)
