Last night I was surfing around the web and I was listening to Kirsty MacColl's version of Belle of Belfast City. I love Kirsty and Michelle always raves about this song and so I finally got to check it out. It is a raucous blast of a song and of course I love Kirsty even more (RIP). Well today while thinking about this Irish perfectness of a crazy song I was thinking how nuts Michelle must go when she hears it so I sent her a text. What I wrote was, "was listenting to Belle of Belfast City on youtube last night - you are a nut". That is not a very clear text and I will admit it. I knew how unclear I was when I got her response of, "Oh please because it is not a blonde from the 60's or 70's it is not good. I grew up with that song much like you grew up with 70's light fm... x". To which I promptly replied, "I wasn't clear - I like the song A LOT & ur a nut cuz I can so picture u being a maniac as it is played!!! LOL - it is a good thing :)" Then for the rest of the night I could not stop laughing because I accidentally poked the bee's hive. It is like when you unknowingly scare somebody and after they jump a mile then you die laughing. I even ended up calling her and just could not stop laughing. She told me that after a tense black Friday and some continued craziness in her office my message sent her over the edge plus that "those are fighting words" and I "got her Boston up". I was very happy to see that after all these years, and with all her challenges of late, she still has plenty of fight in her - oh that redheaded spitfire. You know I am not the speediest car in the race but I do certainly know two things: I much prefer Michelle on my side and never, never, never jab at the bear with a big mop of red hair and a pink flamingo tattoo. I totally did not do this story justice - maybe you just had to be there but I am still laughing and still love you lots!
