Crazy Love



On Saturday night we went out with our friend Syslee to a neighborhood club- The World Famous Kenton Club- Dining, Dancing, Entertainment. We had a swell time having cocktails & listening to live music. I am almost certain that we were the only homos on the premises, although a couple of guys caught my eye & they seem to look right back. What I did note was, as the Husband returned to our table with round 3 of whiskey-gingers, how the man I have spent ½ my life with, still has the power to make my stomach flip flop & my heart miss a beat. When he was in his 20s, he seemed almost “pretty” & it was disarming & off-putting. He is actually a very masculine guy, & he grew into his 50s looking especially handsome with his full head of silver hair & his 29 inch waist, tan & fit…the very definition of Silver Fox. The Husband is a very talented artist & designer. I admire his talent & his good looks. But... everyone that knows him realizes that he is just a little nutty. I think you can’t be that handsome & that talented, & survive life without being eccentric & marching to a different drummer. With this in mind, I put together a playlist dedicated just to him. When it was presented I thought- “hmmm… he may think this is fun, or it could go terrible wrong":



Always On My Mind- Pet Shop Boys
Crazy- Gnarls Barkley
Crazy Little Thing Called Love- Queen
Crazy Love- Bob Dylan
Crazy Moon- Curtis Stigers
Crazy- Willie Nelson

Goin’ Out Of My Head- Sergio Mendez & Brazil 66

He liked the playlist. Crazy, huh?



These are from 2009's Portland Street of Dreams, designed by the Husband & Kimberlee Jaynes for Kimberlee Jaynes Interior Designs.


The Husband does assemblages from found objects, in the manner of Joesph Cornell. I am crazy about his art & I am crazy about him.
