So, I'm listening to Yo-Yo Ma plays Ennio Marricone. It is
one of my favorite albums because it is so soothing. In fact it is so soothing, it's the music I chose
for my colonoscopy. I bet you thought I was going to say wedding, didn't you? Wedding, colonoscopy . . . anything that is
high stress; this album will soothe it. So,
why am I playing it today? Well, we recently moved and I still have about 100
moving boxes to unpack. When the towers of moving boxes are taller than I am, I
tend to feel overwhelmed.
Of course, it
also helps when the sun comes out and I look out on the lake. Speaking of the "lake", I am no longer sure what
to call it. My first clue was when I Googled Nine Mile Lake and nothing came up. My second clue
was when our neighbors gave us a card that said "Welcome to the River".
This was after I had already added a number of lake-related word art to my
Amazon wish list, so I found myself a bit disappointed. Our waterfront home is
on a section of the Spokane River that has been dammed. The next body of water
below the dam is called Long Lake. It is also a section of the Spokane River
that has been dammed. So, why does that one get to be called a lake? Is it just because it is bigger? Sounds like
discrimination to me! Technically, we live on Nine Mile Reservoir. So, I guess I will need to
start shopping for wall art that says "Welcome to The Res".
