Breann and I shared a cab over to the Plaza. As I exited the car, she called out "I'm off from work. I'll contact Lena, Clare, and research Lucas, then text bomb your phone." As I walked through the glass revolving door, a coworker of mine who thinks he's my friend, cuffs me in the back of the head with his right hand. "Caleb Runson, you have a girlfriend!" he announced indiscreetly. "No, she's, well, we're related. She's family." It was the first time I had said it aloud. My headache disappeared and my chest relaxed. I felt really good.

I hope you stay with it and enjoy the writing. I will write another thousand words or so by Sunday night. Thanks for reading.
Today's song is perfect for the writing. The connection is made between Caleb and Breann. I thought Elastica was going to be bigger than they were. Justine Frischmann was dating Damon Albarn of Blur, Elastica's first record was really good, and then....not much after. This song, Stutter, and Line Up are mainstays on my IPOD. Here's Elastica's Connection...
