there's nothing like

sports to make you forget. that's what i love about athletic competition: truly, it's about living in the moment, and regardless of what you're dealing with, sports can make you forget. not so with music: listening to music makes you remember. i was just thinking that "the book of laughter and forgetting" is a great title for a book, although i've never read it. sometimes, i wish there really were separate books for laughing, forgetting, and remembering.
