The Homestead in SnowIt snowed today for the first time this season. As if clockwork, it almost always snows on the third or so week in January. But unlike years past, we had to work today which takes all the fun out of wintry weather in the Nation's Capital.
Heading off to Old Town in Bean Boots and bundled up in the Barbour, I grabbed Kenny's "Be As You Are" to remind me of why I like winter: Summer (and maybe all the warm clothes and holidays and parties too, but I digress). If we didn't have 3 months of gray and wet in DC, we wouldn't really appreciate the stifling heat and sweltering humidity.
Rolling Stone said in 2005: "On his recent records, country superstar Kenny Chesney has been a good ol' boy on some Jimmy Buffett shit, going multiplatinum with a combo of clambake honky-tonk, cowboy-hat calypso and breezy change-of-pace ballads. Be As You Are is also inspired by the islands, but this time Chesney has recorded an entire album of breezy change-of-pace ballads."
Instead of a day started by a lazy morning of coffee and TV followed by an afternoon stomping around to see the snow-covered vignettes and an evening of a hearty meal with friends, I put on "Be As You Are" at work for a change-of pace:
Wishing I was "Somewhere In the Sun" on my "Old Blue Chair" with a piece of "Key Lime Pie" imagining I was an "Island Boy."
Oh, and for those of you who know how much I like Kenny, I recently learned he'll be in the area twice this year, May 22 and August 29.
A perfect way to start and end the Summer.

Your obsession with Kenny concerns me.
