I Thought That Time Was On Our Side...

James Morrison - Please Don't Stop the Rain

Who's going to go see James Morrison next month? That's right. It's me. And this song just makes me smile if only because I like to think of it as a response to CCR.


So I'm in the training room with one of my rowers and the head trainer, and the rower is telling me about her first date with this guy the previous night (Applebee's and Last House On The Left). So I kind of laughed a little at the poor movie choice, and she say's to me, "you're judging me right now, aren't you?"

Before I could answer, the head trainer offered, "no he's not really a judgemental person. Though, you know what they say about people that live in glass houses."

The rower gets this amazed look on her face, and says to me, "wait. You live in a glass house?!?" She was in awe, and no doubt trying to figure out how she hadn't seen such a house on campus.

I lost it. I was fairly certain I was going to suffer the horrible demise of death by laughing. It was terrible. We proceeded to explain the common (or so I thought) saying to her, and she felt kind of like an idiot.

But then that afternoon, she informs me that she looked it up, and there's a Glass House Cafe just a few minutes away, and that she thinks that we don't really have a choice but to go this evening. So we're getting coffee tonight, and I'm no doubt going to use the opportunity to continue to ridicule her. I'm stoked.
