love thursday

Steve and Ellen in 2001

Reason # 3,983 to love Steve:

Steve's car was the Ike getaway car for me and kids (his gas tank was full). As soon as I cleared Houston city limits, I turned on some music. Here's what was in his 6-disk CD player:

The Iguanas
Los Lobos
Lyle Lovett
Lucinda Williams
Leonard Cohen
The Weepies

 

What's not to love about a guy who has this taste in music and is normally dressed in a guayabera, UT baseball hat, jeans and cowboy boots. Like my grandma used to say, "He can leave his boots under my bed anytime."  Of course, she was talking about Burt Reynolds.

Happy Love Thursday!
