Sweeping Away the Blues by Geoff Bodine

It will come as no surprise to anyone that getting in a car and driving fast brings me out of the dumps. But that's now how I usually beat the blues. The truth is, I clean. If I get down about something, I'll polish the entire house, clean out the garage, reorganize my office, wax my car, and groom my animals. In fact, my two dogs are never brushed as much as when I'm feeling bad. I guess you could say I sweep away the blues!
