My brain has associated certain songs with certain frames of mind. A mixed CD (remember mixed tape days?) I listened to a lot in late 2002, early 2003 when I was single was playing in my car this morning as I drove to work. Cranking up the volume in these songs, I could reinvoke a fraction of the euphoria I felt “back in the day”.

It was a pretty high drive to work…until a DA almost killed me by driving backwards the wrong way up an aisle in the parking structure at a high speed without looking behind her.
