Pragmatic?

I was listening to "Writers & Company" on CBC radio, and the guy being interviewed - in what I can only assume was an attepmt to use big words - over used a particular word to the point that he was wearing out the pragmatism of the word pragmatic!

I just folded up that Orange Wool Ralph Lauren sweater that I wore on the day we went looking at houses with the real estate agent. I remember exactly what I was wearing, and how good it felt to be back home and there with you. I remember where we parked and how the cool yet warming Newfoundland wind felt on my face and how good it felt to be back home. The excitement of getting a house that you and I would live in together and what a building block it represented toward our relationship. I thought of what it meant and how happy we would be having a place to call our own.

You suggested rolling up the cuff and I did, I continue to do so. I didn't think it looked cool, but you liked it and that gave me the confidence to wear it that way. That sweater was our new beginning

It saddens me slightly. It does so when I look at my favourites bar on my computer and see the Empire Theatres 12 for St. John’s, knowing that I will never be there again in the capacity that I have oft been in the last 6 years. Really I can get rid of it, I won’t be watching movies there much more.

Every day when I see the turbo indicator on the trucks at work I think of the car I wanted (being a turbo) and how nice it would look in the driveway of the place I had called home for several years. Now the car I wanted will never be placed in that driveway. Oh how time has changed.

Today I looked at the application on my computer that lets you know what the weather is like in selected regions, for me I have St. John’s, but now I have reason to change it. I’m not gonna be back there much anymore, I’m no longer going to be living there, so it’s just as well to change it to Grande Prairie, AB. It represents a lot to me, it represents a great change in my life and a remorse for the loss of what was.

I don't know if I told you, but thank you so much it was very very much appreciated when you went through all that trouble looking for the Punjabi MC songs Kori (giddah)and Ghalla Gurian and put them on the CD that you sent up to me.
