My Life As a Soundtrack...

Poor writing/rhetoric aside, I'm starting this post with an apology: I have not played the game of tag in a long time. Also, I usually ignore/despise the silly games friends play on friends' blogs. But, since Jill tagged me -- and, apparently, I have nothing better to do right now? ;-) -- I will go ahead and give this a shot.

The premise is to use songs/song titles to provide music for your life, as if it were a movie. For those of you who know me well, my typical music listening comprises various classical works, "smart" podcasts, Billy Joel, James Taylor, and then an eclectic range of "other stuff." This should be interesting...
