We’re on Day Six of the Barn Plague. Kato has been asleep for 160 of the last 168 hours. We’ve gone through eight boxes of Kleenex. The stuff coming out of Alden’s nose is now orange. ORANGE. It is truly the end of days.

There is, however, one thing that brings a smile to Alden’s ravaged little frame. And that thing comes courtesy the Beastie Boys.

This Body Movin’ remix by Fatboy Slim is, and has always been, Alden’s favorite song. She demands to hear it every time we get in the car. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) this song is on the CD that is perpetually stuck in our car’s CD player. I’ve heard this song a lot.

For those of you who think there’s no such thing as too much Beastie Boys, I must respectfully disagree. Alden, however, is squarely in your court.
