hypothesis:

"wife" as a derogatory term, unless it is accepted by the person to whom it is applied and mutually defined by both partners.

lesson:

i finally decided to let good things happen.

the inevitable key change

my very first bass guitar is about to find a home with somebody else. i just opened the case for the first time in a couple of years and got hit full in the face with high school. yes, i think it's time for that to stop happening.

it's still a beautiful bass, though. and i still love it as much as i did the first time i held it in my hands. it's weird to think that there are very important people in my life now who have never known that part of me, who never will know that part of me.

i was a pretty bitchin' bass player, on occasion.
