Fense’s Radio Show: July 20, 2012

Anacortes Waterfront

Last weekend Andi and I visited Anacortes and walked around the dock, discussing our future as polo-shirt-wearing yacht owners and shopping for the ideal water home. Sure, this fantasy may never come to pass, and while I may find myself in a polo shirt now and again, that doesn’t mean the boat life is for me. Still, seeing middle-aged to retirees playing cards on the stern and barbecuing sure made the life seem relaxing.

Fitting, then, that the night before our Anacortes venture, I played a song off Pale Sunday’s new LP, The Fake Stories of You And Me. We often discuss such potential futures; they always surround a more simple lifestyle — a smaller house further out in the country, shacking up in a guest house on her parents’ property, giving in and building our 8′ x 20′ tiny house and letting the future come as it may…

These discussions remind me a bit of music; in a way, you can live vicariously through songs.
