I wanted to come up with a title for this post incorporating “baby blue,” and this Dylan song is the first thing that came to mind. How appropriate. In case you live under a rock, Bob Dylan recently won the Nobel Prize for literature. It’s well deserved if you ask me. I’ve been a fan of his work since I was a newborn and the only thing that would get me to sleep was when my dad played “Desolation Row.” (I wanted that to be our father-daughter dance song, but it seemed a little depressing for a wedding, so I went with “If Not For You” instead.)

In case you’ve never paid attention to Bob Dylan’s lyrics, here’s proof of the genius:

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Just for a fun comparison, here’s an example of lyrics from a current popular song:

Work, work, work, work, work, work
He say me have to work, work, work, work, work, work
He see me do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work

Yeeeaaaaah.

Hillflint sent me this sweater just in time for what I’m told is called “football season.” Apparently football is a sport that many people enjoy. I wouldn’t know – my favorite sport is brunch. I might not like football, but I do like cotton sweaters that let me rep my alma mater in adorable vintage style. (If you didn’t go to Indiana, Hillflint also has sweaters for other, lesser universities like Yale.)

I figured this “sporty” outfit would be perfect for brunching, but in case consuming eggs and mimosas doesn’t count as a sport (a debate for another day), I rode my new bike to the restaurant. I’m just a regular Lance Armstrong, if Lance Armstrong weren’t a big liar, and if he could barely ride a bike in a straight line. Turns out riding a bike is not like riding a bike. I don’t know who came up with that saying, but he was a big liar. It was probably Lance Armstrong.

Anyway, I managed to pedal my way in my cute sweater all the way to brunch like a champ. That’s the great thing about my version of sports – I always win, and there’s usually champagne involved.
