What's in a Name?


So what does the name of this blog mean?

Every relationship needs some common ground. I hold a couple of interests that define the far reaches of who I am, and how someone responds to these interests usually determines the depth and success of our relationship.

The name stems from the realization that my future husband must possess three characteristics without compromise: 1) he must understand the allure of a cemetery, 2) he must have a working knowledge of Jack Kerouac, and 3) he must love jazz.

As a reader, if you can accept these three significant quirks of mine, then welcome to my party, but trust me, it's not "Sex and the City." This blog would probably be a lot more entertaining if it were.

This is Your Brain... This is Your Brain on Jazz

I really love it when two of my favorite things intersect. In addition to loving jazz, I am an incredible science geek, so I was psyched to come across this story on NPR's "A Blog Supreme," about a group of German researchers who studied how the brain processes spontaneity by using jazz improvisation. Fantastic! I'm very taken by the idea of music stimulating different areas of the brain. When I have a bit more time, I can't wait to read the article in Science Magazine so I can test my own perception of the performances.
