“So..just how big of a crush DO
you have on Alicia Keys?”
The caller yesterday was joking when
she said that, although I knew what she was talking about. Every
time I backsell or frontsell (radio terms there) the song “Underdog”, I usually
stick an adjective in front of Ms. Keys’ name; right before the
call came in, in fact, I believe the term was “babe-alicious” (as
in “the babe-alicious Alicia Keys”). The caller then jokingly
asked how Loraine must feel about my “crush”, and I was able to
answer that quite easily--
“Oh, she’s used to it”.
You see, over the last 30 years, there
have been all kinds of little “crushes” floating around the Koski
household. I mean, you can draw a line from Michelle Pfeiffer to
Vanessa Williams to Amy Grant to Tina Fey to Halsey and not blink an
eye. Of course, I’m not the only one like that; Loraine and I have
often joked that if we could pry a crowbar between Amy Grant and
Vince Gill and divide the spoils between us, we could each walk away
happy.
Of course, that’s all it is--a joke.
No matter what kind of crush I have on Michelle Pfeiffer or Tina Fey
or Alicia Keys, it pales in comparison to the crush I still have,
after all these years, on Loraine. Sure, like most couples, we may
annoy the heck out of each other on occasion, but I can’t think of
anyone else with whom I’d rather plot the breaking up of Amy Grant
and Vince Gill. I really can’t.
So Happy Valentine’s Day, Loraine.
Maybe you and Vince can come visit Amy & me some day!

Have a great weekend, everyone. There
are a TON of things going on around here the next few days;
hopefully, the weather will cooperate so can check one or two of them
out.
