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

Pearl Harbor Day

Not the best I have ever done. Not by a long shot. This is it, though.
The Attack on Pearl Harbor was a real wake up call for the then isolationist United States.
When ships enter and leave Naval Station Pearl Harbor, the crew Man's The Rail in Dress Blues or Dress Whites and Honors are Rendered.
Before the causeway was built to Ford Island, we always did the same when passing the remains of USS Utah on the other side of Ford Island.
Our Traditions in the Sea Service are deep and almost iron clad. We hold them dear in our hearts, until the day we depart this Earth.
So, on this Day, I give a little bit of history to you all.
May Their Memories Be A Blessing.
"Hear, O Israel! Adonai is our God! Adonai is One!" and,
"Hear, O Israel! Adonai is our God – Adonai alone."
