Last night, we caught the end of Ghostbusters on cable. The Ghostbusters theme song was on and Jeff and I started singing along loud and loud and super loud. To this, Anya started dancing first. It is funny to see someone dancing while sitting, but she does. She bounced and squealed and got that crazy happy look in her eyes. Then Rachi started and we were all singing and bouncing and enjoying a silly song. "There's an invisible man, slepping in your bed," I sang to Anya in a deep voice and the reaction was explosive.

It has been a long time since I bought my first Mountain Goats record. So long. It was a 7 inch compliation with an underwater picture from National Geographic on the cover. I think the label was Pottery Records. And so the Mountain Goats have been with me forever. There are hundreds and hundreds of songs and either you love the goats or you don't and I do. The simple truths of the lyrics always get me. I like my truths simple and true. Jeff just sent me this link to a new Mountain Goats song.

I am sleepy even though I slept the night last night. I dreamt of trees, though, and how trees love the soil and isn't that weird? I dreamt of ghosts and how they are all around us all the time, like a magnetic energy. They don't have much memory, just certain things. They can remember that they loved you, but not the specifics of you. They have alzheimer's, these ghosts. They know you, but don't remember you. They are fading without the roots of their bodies. They fade until they are gone, but they don't go anywhere, just fade away
