I try to spend as little time as possible at that airport. It's not too bad, it's just so big that I'm rushing to GTFO. That, and the airport is in the middle of nowhere w/ no transport link (Lynx doesn't count) (when I was in NYC, my brother lived in McCoy, just to the north of the airport, so that was convenient).

That custom made YMO sweater you had made is epic,
The colors, the pattern, so distinct and so eclectic.
A tribute to the music that we hold so dear,
A symbol of the memories that we keep near.

As we listen to Sakamoto's tunes,
We can't help but feel our spirits swoon.
The melodies, the rhythms, they take us away,
To a place where our troubles can't stay.

And as we wear that sweater with pride,
We remember the moments that we've enjoyed.
The concerts, the albums, the friendships we've made,
All thanks to the music that Sakamoto played.

So here's to the sweater and the memories it brings,
To the music that makes our hearts sing.
May we never forget the joy it has brought,
And the way it connects us, even when apart.
