Topic: Lingering

My wife has been feeling guilty about being away lately. She has been playing lots of golf lately and since I am not into golf she’s out with other friends and not with me. She already tried to get me to play but I’d still rather play soccer or guitar, not necessarily in that order. Anyway here is a song for her letting her know she’s always with me. I hope you all like it as well.

Re: Lingering

Hi Jeff,

Lovely song and a beautiful sentiment. I bet Michiyo was well pleased with it, mind you it does rather give her carte blanche to play even more golf. Well done.

Thank you,
