Are You Lonesome Tonight?

This song was trailing through my brain this morning. Lately, I keep running across the theme of lonely versus alone not only in real life but also in fiction and nonfiction books that I'm reading.

I decided today was a perfect day to watch the '68 Comeback. It really is a thing of beauty. And I stand by my observation that Elvis was the first artist to do MTV Unplugged, so far ahead of his time. He really was in so many ways. So real. So fun. And, let's face it, he really was hot. That black leather suit kills.

I'm going to have to pause it again shortly - I've had more interruptions today than I can count. It's nice to be loved and thought of by family and friends; I'm not complaining. At any rate, I need to seize this opportunity to watch and move on to my next project. While some people have problems working with music in the background, I have problems working without it.

So signing out, I ask, "Do you choose to be lonesome, or do you choose to be alone?"
