Frozen Lake

I wasn't going to ride my bike this morning because it's so cold, but I wasn't excited about taking the bus, and as I was contemplating my options, the sun came out. That was all it took to push me over the edge -- I decided to ride after all. I made sure that virtually no skin was showing, and it wasn't so bad during the day. The trip home tonight was a different story. Brrrrr. Just checked the weather and it said 4 degrees, feels like -13!

Another reason I enjoyed my ride to work, which takes me along lakeshore path, right in front of the dorm I lived in when I was a freshman and sophomore in college, was my inner ipod's selection of this beauty from Buffalo Tom:

I'm between the lines, just one more time
Read it in a book I almost looked
In frozen lake she comes and takes
Give up my whole world, she's just a girl
In my frozen mind, I'm stuck in time
I can't get past this thing for one more spring
See, she fits to me so easily
I, I am borderline almost everytime

Give up my whole world
She's a translucent girl
In frozen mind, I'm lost in time

I take one more breath, it's worse than death
Turn on all the lights, alive with fright
See, she fits to me too easily
I, I am borderline almost everytime
Give up my whole world
She's a complicated girl
In frozen mind, I'm stuck in time

Give up my whole world
She's a complicated girl
In the frozen lake she comes and takes

Stuck in time

I'm not stuck in time, but this song sure does bring back some memories. If you don't know it, it's definitely worth a listen...
