Surviving the semester 10 days at a time...

Last night hubby and I watched Jazz Singer... the 1980 movie with Neil Diamond. The song "Hello Again" just fits our long distance relationship so well.. it goes,

Hello again, hello
Just called to say 'hello'
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait

Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home
Hello

Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head
We've been through it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear

Hello, my friend, hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say
Hello

Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello

Written By Neil Diamond

While it doesn't fit the main characters, it does fit us -- way too well...

He'll be home in 10 days. It isn't all that long, but it is long enough to be discouraging, especially when I'd probably be driving to Red State next weekend...

Of course, as Hubby left today -- we started to revise the song, as sung to him by New Kitty... it was pretty funny, maybe I'll have to work out the new lyrics and post them -- if only to cheer myself up.
