Are far to pricey, out of reach

And when the car is dicey

The pirate wimmins was feelin' sparky

When they was smacked with verbal malarkey

They had to teach a lesson that day

And General JK said "Avast And Away!"

And wild events did come to unfold

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.

they too have their story.

Oh, children, don't you weep,
If the road is long.
All of us are prayers of action,
On our way to God,
On our way to God.

Some of us are long and rambling,
Sometimes lost for years,
Some of us are small and holy,
Beautiful and clear.

Oh, children, don't/… Read full post »

I went out for the first time in a year and actually shopped!  This is the first month of not scraping by, counting up loose change, trying to figure out how much two wheat pennies get on E-bay, or considering robbing a bank.

Hooking is out. I'm way too fat and… Read full post »
