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

The Holidays are over and back to work we go

Well, all good things must come to an end. Tomorrow is "Back in The Saddle Day" at Edwards AFB. I was in the saddle for most of the Holidays. I don't have any leave built up. But the operational world being what it is, we will be turning wrenches by noon. Got a ten spot that says so.
So it is back to the grind. See everyone on a random basis through the week. When the day is 0630-1630, plus a half hour one way commute, time is precious at home. But fear not, I will not desert anyone.

You know, I started blogging with the idea that it would be scattered, intermittent, and fun, not a compulsion. Yeah...best laid plans...I am having to adjust my posting times, because I have a husband at home more often than not, at the times I had become used to blogging...and some days the presence of crumb-crunchers makes other things priority. So I'm forcing my obsession to the back burner, durnit! Love to Sharon, now get back to work! 8-)

Hi Glenn, good to see you over @ my good friend Chrissies blog. She's a real sweetheart. We no longer post @ KisP for various reasons but we've made many friends there whom we have met and several have even stayed in our home in Orange County. I am also ex military, combat vet, Jewish and a cancer survivor. Lets hook up sometime either for a drink or to break bread. My home # is 949 470-4652 and e-mail is hotrocks1705@sbcglobal.net. If you prefer, send us your # and we'll give you a call. Oh and BTW, Happy New Year!

Regards,
