Default Sophisticated Lady

There is a jazz song named "Sophisticated Lady" written by Duke Ellington. It has a lyric that goes "Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow." I am feeling that way right now with this late night session. I am smoking (cigarillos) and drinking (water) without thinking about getting up and functioning tomorrow.

Here's a fortunate coincidence: Right now, my streaming music is playing Billie Holiday singing "Sophisticated Lady."

Iacchus would say this is of cosmic significance. Ask him about "Do You Know the Way to San Jose."

I'll have to ask him. Jazz plays an important part of my life so I'll be occasionally be referring to many songs and artists.

It's 2:30 AM and I'm not sleepy at all. I've been thinking about the day ahead and I'm thinking I'll continue here and have breakfast around 6 AM and watch the sunrise around 7 Am. If I should get tired during the day then I will just take a nap

San Jose, by the way, is Spanish for St. Joseph (n11:3).

Saint Joe, Missouri? I could probably find it on the map. :yup:

Oh, since you are always dreaming about places on the map, have you ever dreamt of Saint Joe, Missouri?

I've had a lot of dreams, but I do not think I've ever had a dream of Saint Joe, Missouri.
