Ok, so reading Dr. Seuss with my son is cooler but "other than reading Dr. Seuss with my son, is there anything cooler than live music" doesn't flow well at all.

It's amazing how music, especially live music always makes me feel good. I went to see Over the Rhine last night at St. Elizabeth's church in Norwood, Oh. Sitting on the floor of and old church listening to a local band I've followed since college really put me in good spirits. What a great way to really get into not only the holiday mood but just a better mood in general.

Every once in a while I remember I do sometimes have a heart and it's usually some great song or performance giving me that feeling.
