Happy Hour

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

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

Locked in

Went and did it finally. California plates on the car. Only 127 bucks. Ten year old PT Cruiser, paid for, 144,000 plus on the odometer. Could have been worse. So we are locked in. Stuck here for a while? I don't think the Missus would dig another move. Well maybe to Rosamond or Tehachapi but no major ones, anyway.

Well, better you than me...but I also know that if it came to it, I'd move again. In fact, the opportunity may well arise in 2-3 years, as mgmt at hubby's job may have taken notice of his abilities.

I sympathize on the cost of registration, Glenn. But just wait until you have to pay your state income taxes. I'll might be able to hear ya from here. ;-)
