Where I Stood

Missy Higgins

You taught me how to trust myself.*

To drink gin with Merle.

To troll and fluke on a catfish.

To whip your ass in a crossword.

To take the cream out of my coffee.

To watch a marathon of Kill Bill.

To live on a houseboat.

To write, regardless.

To believe I could.

To exclaim, What a GLORIOUS day!

As you might have guessed... I enjoy a wide range of music. I was not familiar with Missy, but she is very good and I loved this post. I am always tempted to do something like this.... but I almost never actually do it. Very nice. Put up some more.

Kick my ass? Yeah, right. Must have been very humbling to have your PhD ass kicked by a truck driver!

Loved this. I see that she toured with one of our local boys, Ben Folds, last year in the U.S. Great voice sound. Thanks for this post.

Scupper I completely forgot to thank you for the kind words. Great memories, wonderful memories. I'm glad you have found a venue to share your writing with people who seem to like (be in awe of?) it as much as me. And have for 15 years.

Grif, A friend recently introduced her to me. I've got to hear more myself.

Thank you Theo!

Striper- Keep your pencil polished for the next time we compete. Until then-- Truce! Thank you. :}
