He's trying so hard to write about San Francisco and its tall building and spanning Golden Gate. But those girls keep distracting him. <br /><br />I'm reminded of those days when I hear a song and it's within my heart and mind for days afterward and I find myself humming and singing its words. <br /><br />That happened for me yesterday when I the words of "Les Miserables," which I watched on PBS on Sunday, would not let me go. They haunted me, just as those women with their eyes and legs and being lured the poe away from intent.
