Happy "Really Is" Day

My mother always calls the day after Daylight Savings Time (or, as in the case, the ending of it) "Really Is" Day, because people will say things like, "It is 7am, but it really is 8am."

This morning, I knew Charlie was awake because he was in his room singing "I Write the Songs",* and I was thinking (while laughing) that I hope I can give him the kind of life where he always wakes up singing.




*Because it is on his electronic piano, not because we're secretly Barry Mannilow fans or anything.

Oh, darn, and here I thought I was finding someone else who shared the lonely burden of being a secret fan of the man who used to play piano for Bette Midler. :) I put it down to that part of my animus that loves show tunes and lounge music, and which is gay as a day in May. I must confess that I have a secret weakness for Mr. Manilow.

Well, considering Charlie only knows the words to the song because I sang them to him, I probably am a secret Barry Mannilow fan. Just in deep denial. :)
