2021 mileage: 1418.4
Passed another mileage milestone for the year today (1400), as I did another 3-hour ride (41.5 miles). During the ride, I watched My Fair Lady, which is one of my very favorite musicals, though I had forgotten that, as it has been quite a few years since I had seen it. The movie comes from 1964, and contains many absolutely delightful songs, including one of my very favorite, On the Street Where You Live.
I learned it, appropriately, when visiting my former wife, Deb, long before we were married, at her parents' house in Minnesota (on the street where she lived), and would sit at the grand piano of her mother Shirley, happily reading through music (both playing and singing it). Today, though I can no longer sing, I happily moved my mouth along with the words in memory, as the tears flowed down.
