SAME KIND 'A CRAZY AS ME

I've had this Delbert McClinton song stuck in my head all morning. It's a great two-steppin' song called Same Kind Of Crazy, and it probably got lodged there when Lex was talking about how hard she tried to fit in with her ex-boyfriend, The Actor, and his California crowd, but just could never quite cut it. They just couldn't understand why she cared so much about everything, and she couldn't get why they didn't care much about anything. The conversation reminded me of what my friend Paula used to say about finding the perfect mate, which of course, reminded me of this song. She's a firm believer that there's not a person out there who isn't a wee bit crazy. We all have certain quirks and idiosyncrasies that might drive some people up the wall. The trick then, is to find the person who isn't really bothered by your particular quirks, and whose own quirks don't really bother you. An excellent piece of advice, don't you think? Delbert agrees.
