| John M. Scalzi's Weekend Assignment #104: Tell us your favorite color. Give no less than three reasons why it is so. |
Dear John,
I see you captured the reasons for to be green. Well, I'm just a tool for blue. Blue is the color of the sky, the ocean reflecting a sunny day and the wonderful hue of blueberry ice cream! They've written songs to Blue. Blue Angel, Blue Danube, Old Dog Blue, Blue on blue ... it's a musical conspiracy. My mother's eyes were blue, the blue of the little flowers on the heath of her ancestral homeland.
But blue isn't to be confused with the Moody Blues or the blues of Muddy Water or B.B. King. That's the heart breaking, gut wrenching blues of loss, death and despair. That we'll reserve for another day when you are up for some heavy lifting.
Pick a pocketful of posies and give them to your darling Krissy and that prodigious progeny of yours, Athena. I wonder what “blue meanie” will the one who first breaks her heart?
