dinner with my dtr

had dinner this evening with my newlywed dtr at the groovy and reasonably-priced old neighborhood grille on park place. she told me she's been listening a lot to m. ward's post-war, which we gifted her for her b-day last november after sir steffin pulled my coat to it. she 'splained how she's been relating different songs from it to different ppl in her family. "requiem," f'rinstance, she relates to her and her husband's deceased grandfathers. (so long, al.)



"right in the head" she dedicates to her friend michael, currently serving in iraq.



"chinese translation" she associates with "all the young men in the world"...and her best friend mimi.



"eyes on the prize" she claims for herself and her husband. "magic trick" is her little sister's, while "rollercoaster" is her big sister's. i'm listening to them all now with new ears, and a tear in the corner of my eye. pretty insightful of her, i'm a-thinking.
