Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Number 56

I know today is supposed to be solemn and all of that. But just for shits and grins.................................this was a bit of a milestone day for me in it's own right.
As it says, number 56. At about 1155 Mountain Time on 11 September 1954 yours truly entered this world.
I turned on the Fox News this morning at about 0500 after the usual morning ritual. Going to catch some Overtime today.
The shot at Ground Zero was of Idiot Joe Biden, Panty Waist Patterson and others. The Won is enroute, I guess. I try to not pay attention to those I hold in contempt and that have a long way to go to match Buck, Me, MCPO Airdale and MUD to name a few. And SN1 and SN2 of my trusty friend Buck are also on that list.
Pontificating and strutting around like a bantam rooster doesn't do anything for anybody.
Yeah, it is my birthday and I will be with friends today. Honorable men all.
