I will be your hero baby!

Driving home from the grocery store this morning I couldn't help but remember those old commercials,

"We do more by 9 a.m. than most people do all day"

That is how I am feeling. Not overwhelmed so much as just busy. Yesterday, overwhelmed today busy.

On the radio came Enrique Iglesias with "Hero".

I will be your hero baby.
I will kiss away the pain.

I know I am a dork, but I just love Enrique Iglesias. So that was a nice surprise. It is rare here with one radio station that I hear a song I love, especially since I am old and a dork and the station is geared toward the younger cooler male crowd. Bonus. I cranked the radio.

As I listened to Enrique it reminded me of young love. Remember back in junior high or high school when you would fall in such deep mad love with a boy, perhaps a boy you didn't even ever speak to. So lovely. Here in my old age I dismiss the idea of this kind of love. The all consuming I would die for you kind of love. The type of love in the movies and in romance novels. I poo poo it all.

The other day after camping I was so exhausted that I laid down and took a nap with Lily. I woke up about four hours later, and had no idea what in the world I was going to do about dinner. Just before the panic set in Jeff told me how he took care of it all. He went to the Japanese grocery store while I slept and bought us an array of lovely Japanese food to feast upon. That is love. Someone who takes care of you, who is always there, who has your back.

But, then as I listened to Enrique I remember that young love feeling blind passion, maybe it isn't to be poo pooed. Maybe one needs both. -which I have by the way, I just don't really think about and nurture the, I would die for you part of love as much as the I've got your back type of love. If that makes any sense. I will go back to trying to figure out computer programming.
