Wide Eyed Wonder


While I was heading out the door for work this morning, I had an old Choir song in my head so I grabbed my old Wide Eyed Wonder CD by The Choir and listened to it on my way to work. Like so much of the Choir's music, it is moody and haunting at times, but also very thought-provoking.

Wide Eyed Wonder is the first Choir album I ever owned. I first bought the tape, but I now have the CD (although I don't remember where I got it). It was released almost 20 years ago now (1989), which makes me feel pretty old! In terms of the music, it's some of the best alternative ("Christian" or not) you can get from that era. I am definitely biased since it's what I grew up on. Still, I would reccommend it to anyone. There is a copy available on eBay right now.

When we fist got our cat Milos on Thanksgiving of 2005, I wanted to name him Derri because he's orange and he reminded me of Derri Daugherty's red hair. He loves dairy products too (milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese (he goes nuts over them)) so it would have been applicable. But Cyndi wasn't keen on that name. So we named him Milo, which I usually pluralize for no explanable reason. What a psycho cat he is.
