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

Mellowing out? Apologies?

My buddy Buck has an excellent post up at Exile in Portales http://exileinportales.blogspot.com/ about losing the edge. Partially it comes down to the bloggers who really get ugly. This includes yours truly. I can get nasty, ugly and down right reprehensible on this here blog. The other one at wordpress http://desertf16apg.wordpress.com/  is Among the Joshua Trees and it is much more civilized due to several nice ladies commenting on a regular basis. Maybe the in your face, I am right, screw you should be toned down? Not a bad idea. I could as Buck says, be losing my edge. Don't want that.
Also, I did a sort of reflective post on Joshua Trees. Go read it or not. Just me, ya know. But it does make a reference to the Bucket List. Yeah, I have sort of thought about it. Started one? OK, yeah, I did. Geez read the header on this blog! I had cancer for crying out loud. Seeing some old shipmates from days gone by would be a plus.
