Geeked Out

I have a great love affair with music. Songs tell the story of my life, whether with the lyrics or being a trigger for memories of loved ones, friends, and significant moments in my life. The thing that I desperately miss from Tampa is listening to my favorite station 97X and hearing new music from the Green Room. I miss it so much that Michelle makes me radio mixes for my birthday. While visiting Florida a few weeks ago, Michelle was excited by the announcement that 97X was changing its format.

Now, hubby gets rather nervous when I hang out with Michelle. This has nothing to do with some of our wild behavior and has everything to do with my tech envy. Michelle seems to get all the new gadgets and every time we hang out, I end up buying a new toy. Recall the smartphone envy which led to my HTC, then the NCAA team app, and of course the streaming Netflix via a Blu-Ray player, or the conversations about the Google Nexus which became my gift to myself. All of these are thanks to Michelle and my envy.

Hubby has shown great restraint in not ridiculing our latest endeavor. 97X released its new format where listeners use an app to choose the music from the station's collection and vote to determine the next song to be played, record an on-air message, and listen. Sadly, it can become addictive but now Mich and I can listen to songs together.
