Toys

My favorite toy is my stereo. I love listening to music.

My system is so dialed in - for the moment - that it gives me goosebumps. Makes the hair on my body stand on end. It's electrifying. Invigorating.

With my ears being abused by the industry I'm employed and age, I didn't think I would ever experience the phenomenon again. But… here I am living my best life.

The sheer beauty of the music vibing with my soul brings a swell of emotion that only music can summon. It's the resonance, depth, isolation and effortless finesse and dynamics on display with a great John Williams cd. The lush strings. The auditory colors. The sparkle of the brass. The mellow clarinets.

Thankful I can afford such a luxury that brings such pleasure and enjoyment to my life.

But for as much as I know my stereo really sounds like trash. And my ears are so messed up that I think it sounds good.  I guess it doesn’t matter because it’s what pleases my ear.
