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

Leadership Lessons from Dwight D. Eisenhower #4: Always Ready

I found this at The Art of Manliness. From time to time I check it out to see what they may have that is of interest. Since there are many readers of this here humble little blog who are old Grunts, Crew Dogs, Devil Dogs, Swabbies and Coasties, I thought this one might be of interest.
The picture is one that can tell a story with that line on it.

Head on over and have a read. I am going to attempt to dig out more of these on occasion as it is good stuff.

The last bit about being ready to fight was lost on some "leaders" I've known. Sometimes ya just GOTTA go to the wall; there's no other choice.
