Thirty Five - She does not like Neil Young!

I think it is truly amazing that this lady of mine has strong opinions of her own, and it does not matter if I love love LOVE something, she will not wishy-washily switch her views to mesh with mine. She doesn't want her tuna steak raw in the middle just because I (and all the nouvelle cuisine foodies) prefer it that way. And she isn't about to shift her strong dislike of Neil Young based solely on the sweet tender sentiments expressed in these song lyrics, which now always make me think of us:


"Harvest Moon"
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

You know, these words make me want to take her hand in mine and trudge happily out into our future, taking risks and seeing what we can do in the time that we have left.

Aw, heck, you knew I was going to...
