It's late (in married time, of course. Its only 9:41 pm), Liz has already gone to bed. I just downloaded the leaked version of Band of Horses' new album Infinite Arms. The vocals of their fourth song, Blue Beard, transcended me to somewhere outside of my dimly lit office. Somewhere where my incessant thoughts couldn't bog me down. And it was good. I felt peace.
