I say tomorrow we all wear purple in rememberance of Prince

I kept hoping he'd tour again so I'd see him in concert finally and it never happened and now he's gone and I'm sitting here at work crying like a fool. I'm wearing purple tomorrow to work in his memory.

I have on a lavender Eileen Fisher Sweater I found on a clearance rack and a pair of Calvin Klein performance pants that are sorta a royal purple almost bluish color. The pants are really kinda of a workout style yoga pant that you can get away with wearing for work. They were $10 and my size on sale at Macy's so I had bought them.

and found an old choir shirt (had our logo and a picture on the back) that is very purple, have had it on all day. I'll wash it tomorrow and wear it again just because.

Went to the locals bar in town today and found that many of my town-folk are also Prince fans... someone even played the whole Purple Rain album on the juke machine while I was there. Couldn't hold still and some impromptu dancing even broke out while the rednecks looked on. I was happily amazed at how many there are in this tiny town of 1100.
