THE WILD THE INNOCENT AND THE E-STREET SHUFFLE
Bruce Springsteen
I got this on CD today as part of the slow, ongoing, record to CD replacement policy. It's just a wonderful album. And to me it's a summer album. It's the summer of 1978/79 that I first started listening to Springsteen — all these early albums of his are so redolent with memories for me.

Summer Storm
10 January, 2002

We've just had a thunder storm! The one thunder storm we get every two or so years. It wasn't that impressive, but you make do with what you can. We sat in Matthew's bedroom on his bed and watched through the window the rain sheeting across the sky. Matthew got scared by the thunder and huddled into the bed, with his hands over his eyes. I pointed out that this didn't stop him hearing the thunder, so he promptly covered his ears over!

Deb and I love thunder storms. We can both remember a night while cycling in France where we'd set our tent up just off the road and were kept awake most of the night with thunder storms. A particularly violent rumble would occur and we'd leap into each other's arms. There's a feeling of being inside a well set up tent while it's raining outside that's magic — it's a snug, warm, you against the odds kind of feeling.

I'm sitting here in the warm evening, still and dark now the storm's passed, and Debbie and Matthew are asleep together in our bed. I'm feeling relaxed and happy.

Sometimes, ya know, I'm glad I'm me!

Sometimes I'm so close to being who I want to be I wonder why I'm not there all the time.
