Conference over. Must pack, sleep for a few hours, fly home, see son and husband and dog and reassure the first and third of my love and food-providing abilities, prep classes for teaching, teach them, finish and turn in the HBO-Rome chapter, and sleep.

Driving back from San Juan Capistrano to see fajitas and pseudosilence for lunch, this song came on the radio. All weekend 100.7 (JACK), the same call number tho diff station as my childhood favorite, has been playing wonderfully thematically appropriate songs: "Walk Like an Egyptian, " "Waiting is the Hardest Part," "Take on Me," "Mr. Jones," "I've got the brains, you've got the looks, let's make lots of money." But this song really took the cake and summed up the whole weekend:

"The Logical Song" by Supertramp

When i was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they´d be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
Where i could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world´s asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won´t you please, please tell me what we´ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who i am

Now watch what you say
Or they´ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won´t you sign up your name
We´d like to feel you´re
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

At night when all the world´s asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won´t you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who i am, who i am ,who i am.
