just a perfect day
problems are left to know
weekenders all night long
it's such fun
just a perfect day

My brother Erik (who passed about 10 years ago) loved Lou Reed. This was one of the songs played at his funeral. I took this photo at a gas station on my drive home after the funeral. I don't believe in coincidence and I don't think this particular experience was a sign. It could have been Erik reaching out to tell me that things were going to be okay. Although, I suspect, if it had really been Erik, he would have somehow had the can explode and get beer all over everyone.
Don't get defensive on his behalf. He would agree with me. In fact, he'd be ticked off that he didn't think of it himself. Which would make for a not quite perfect day, I suppose.
