As I was heading to bed last night I had a question for Dr. M:
The Bug: Why did Robespierre get the guillotine? Short answer! (Knowing who she was speaking to & wishing to get to bed before 11:00).
Dr. M: Because.
The Bug: Too short!
Dr. M: [maniacal laughter]
Historians are weird. [Note: the short answer is that he started putting the Revolution over the needs of the people of France. For whom he had helped start the revolution.]

This morning on my way to work I had just finished rocking out to the Indigo Girls (as we white middle aged women do), when Silent Night came barreling out of my speakers. Wait, what? Apparently I got a little confused when I was loading the MP3 player. Made me laugh – which was a good thing on a rainy Monday morning.
After Silent Night a Kevin Welch song came on and that made me think of Kieran Kane and that reminded me of this song:
I got a little crush on Kieran when I first saw the video (on MTV or CMT back when they did videos?) and I remember trying to find his CD every time we went to the record store. I never did find it. What a different world that was! We had to just really enjoy the heck out of whatever we were listening to because we couldn’t just go to Amazon & download the single, or go to Youtube & watch the video over & over. I’m sure there’s some “Good Old Days” moral in there somewhere, but frankly I’m more of an instant gratification type of a person.
I think I’m going to go click “play” on that video again. Isn’t he dreamy?
