On my way to ye olde office earlier today, as I was passing the park, the strangest thing happened. A song... a horrible sing songy song drifted into my head. I knew the tune, and at the time, only the words "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again." This was one of those "wha?" type moments, as in ... where the heck did that come from? I couldn't remember who the song was by, but I was sort of thinking John Denver, which in and of itself was another "wha?". So I went a googling and verified that yes, it was indeed a song by John Denver. Geesh. (Please note that I did not include a link for your listening pleasure.)
So just now as I was sitting in the kitchen contemplating life and death and everything else that everyone else thinks about whilst sitting at a kitchen table, the very melancholy song "Drifting", as sung by Harry Connick Jr. came wafting into my mind. I went to look for a video link and instead of that song, I found a bunch of videos pertaining to "drifting" as in the type seen in the movie "Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" (the one in which Vin only has a guest appearance). The following video is the one I clicked on as I scrolled down:

Even though I don't drive or ride motorcycles, I can... and do... appreciate these guys' ability and energy, as well as their sense of humour, which was a treat at the end. Another funny thing is that motorcycles seem to be popping up in my internet journey lately.
And... here's the song I mentioned earlier. I haven't quite yet figured out if I am fading away... or... drifting.

Well, so long as you aren't slip-sliding away...

Yes... that too.
And... thank you for slipping another song into my noggin.
