Fact or fiction? You decide…
IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD
My ear was itching in that deep down, hard to reach place. I tried for several days to scratch it by trial and error. Sticking my finger in there, jiggling it around did not help. Doing that thing with my tongue, scratching my throat did not help. Carefully inserting a cotton swab a little ways in did not work either.

This was such a fun story.

It can make me a little crazy (read that crazier) at times, and I have no idea why it happens. The songs can be anything from any time period in my memory, most often nothing personally meaninful.

Sometimes I will wonder about a tune but it’s been playing in a grocery store without me really noticing. Thanks for stopping by!!
