Artist:
We only managed to get back to OKC for Christmas 2006 by talking my work into granting a temporary transfer to the Target on May Ave in OKC. So I worked 8 hour days there, bumping into all sorts of old friends who were shocked that I wasn't in Florida. A few people thought Erika and I had broken up.I was an odd fit at the May Ave Target. I've been on the east coast long enough to forget that pe...

Another dream context song, this one from very early on.
