Loading... This song reminds me of my sister, Anna. As many of you might recall, she had cystic fibrosis, and passed at the age of 23. This song was released right around the time she passed, and one of the constant tributes was how fully she lived each moment of her life, full of swagger and verve. So this song was already appropriate.
Then the band went and released their official music video version and, well, just watch the first minute and tell me it wasn't perfect:

It gave me the idea to do a theme week with a little tribute song each day for people in my life who have passed away. Some'll be funeral songs, some won't. And today we'll kick it off with a song that is too catchy for the subject matter, but just had to be played.

We didn't reach consensus and action until Friday, finally settled on itinerary and accommodations. There was a lot of booking and cancelling. We leave Monday.
We feel ridiculous, mostly, at our planning disfunction, but are hopeful for a little fun and relaxation along the beach for a few days. We don't do this, really, so wish us luck.
(Also, best comment I saw on the Jimmy Buffet YouTube: "Being 20 in the Seventies was a lot more fun than being 70 in the Twenties")

Have you heard of these guys? They seem pretty cool.
