A Time Machine CD

I'm listening to a CD that I haven't listened to for years. Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms."

It's on my iTunes, from back when I was trying to get all my CDs on there, and only managed to get up to E or G.

It's definitely a time machine CD, since I don't listen to it with any regularity. I remember buying it at the place we lived in 1986-87. CDs were very new at the time and I didn't have a lot of money to buy them. So it was a big deal to get it.

Now that I'm a big success, having enough groceries for a couple of days, this CD reminds me of tougher, more challenging times.

If I'm ever down on my luck -- which could happen out of the blue -- I'll know which CD to get out to promise me we'll get through it.
