Prenuptial activities

I'm sure all of you who are married know that the weekends before prior to the big day are spent raking leaves, cleaning up after family dinners, and of course purchasing music, all while your fiance shops for wedding-related toiletries and practices getting her hair done. Feel free to read those last five words again. It's true.

Back to the music purchasing part. After getting some recommendations from the Best Man, I picked up a couple albums yesterday, including The Chambers Brothers' "The Time Has Come" (for which I had to travel all the way to a record store) and Country Joe & the Fish's "Electric Music for the Mind and Body", whose third track, "Death Sound Blues" was the 6000th song added to my iTunes library. This morning's additions were the new Flaming Lips album, "At War with the Mystics", and "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears", credited curiously on the album cover to the Mama's and the Papa's (the apostrophes were removed by the time of their next album's release, hopefully after the person responsible for the oversight was fired and kicked in the teeth).

Jill and I caught our first 2006 baseball game at Fenway on Thursday, an 8-6 loss to Toronto on a beautiful night with wonderful company and a prime standing room location behind home plate. Dingers indeed.
