A Fatal Flaw in the Logic of Love

Most of my blogs are music related. It's not that I don't have anything worth saying, it's more or less a matter of knowing how to say those things. Today has been an emotional day, and I really don't know the cause for this. Without sounding like a complete sap, I suppose I'm thinking a great deal about boundaries. For those of you who know me, you might agree that I am not the most emotionally available person on the planet. I think the words "frigid" or "ice queen" have been used to describe me. As I am approaching nearly a decade of solitude, mostly by choice, I have started thinking a bit about the crazy thing we all seem to want, can't seem to find, or simply don't understand. Love. To keep with my running theme of song lists, here are songs that I am in love with. Music and I have been in a long-term civil union for 30 years.
