And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it’s only round and round.

Funny thing, that question about, “Why do you always wear black?”. Sometimes I want to respond..”Why don’t YOU always wear black?” To me, wearing black is like having a closet full of identical suits. I don’t have to think about it. Black is black. It all works.  Black is a background color. It doesn’t stand out. I should say, it doesn’t stand out other than in paddling where we’re all expected to look like life sized bag of skittles.  I’ve never asked why blue, orange, red & yellow with flowers & stripes go together either. I imagine it depends on which side of the looking glass your on.

    I just figured you’re a Johnny Cash fan… you know, the whole lyrics and black wearing mojo :-)

    The end of the song……
    Well, there’s things that never will be right I know,
    And things need changin’ everywhere you go,
    But ’til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
    You’ll never see me wear a suit of white.

    Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day,
    And tell the world that everything’s OK,
    But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
    ‘Till things are brighter, I’m the Man In Black.
