Groovy Sputum

Lost And Found

Have you ever heard the CD by Brandon Heath called Don’t Get Comfortable? I did…once. I can’t find the dang thing now. I had it last fall and somehow in our move and sorting of stuff, it has been misplaced. Actually, I am not sure if I actually lost it or if I let someone borrow it and it has not been returned. I have that habit myself (of not returning things) and I completely understand the shame of trying to return something that you have had so long that you forget why you borrowed it in the first place. Why don’t we do this: I’ll give back your stuff if you give me back mine. We’ll have our own little amnesty program. Seriously, if you have my CD, I want it back. Really.

That’s the lost part of this post. Here’s the found part:

My sister persuaded my mom to purchase an iPod shuffle last fall in hopes that it would liven up my mother’s commute to and from Mansfield. The purchase was also designed to aide mom in leading music with the kids at church. Why lug 20 CDs around when you can dump 500 songs on a machine the size of a pack of gum. Sounds logical to me. The problem is, mom misplaced her Apple wonder. We I have been scouring the house in hopes that I might find the little green thing and put it to good use. Well, on Tuesday evening, I came across a little brown paper bag in mom’s closet that contained said iPod. When I plugged it into my computer to see if it still worked, I noticed that the device was named “Carol’s Pod”. I quickly erased the contents, restored all the settings to the factory defaults and renamed it iGroove. I should have named it iFound since, you know, I found it. I have spent the last few days loading all my music into iTunes and grooving while I work. I have been pretty pleased with my find.

Now if I only had some Brandon Heath to listen to.
