A Sound I Can't Ignore

I just used my voice recorder on my cell phone for the first time the other day. Being the kind of person I am, there was no way I actually wanted to hear the sound of my voice after I had recorded it, but eventually I did need to hear the message I left for myself so that I could get the information I knew I wouldn’t remember. I played that message twice and for a large portion of the message, I swear I heard my sister’s voice. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that before. But there is a similarity between Mel and me, when you listen. I pretended that I was listening to her having one of long-talking episodes and I was simply waiting for my opportunity to respond. It’s funny that I would listen to my own voice over and over just to catch a glimpse of my sister. But I did.

Walk the Line

I love the movie Walk the Line. I can’t remember the last time I cried when the guy got the girl. What a story. Great music, drama, sarcasm and real love--I love that movie.
