    ...been a week beyond weird, that I may never recover. Momentous shifts in the work arena. I really was dreaming of lions last night. Gotta run - so much to do today. Said shifts mean I have to work, but I still need to do some garden work this morning. This evening, it's Ravinia Festival for Brandi Carlile and the Old Crow Medicine Show. Should be fun. I need some fun. *poof* where did geo go? ah, there he is! Hi, geo! Happy Anniversary. Marriage rocks. ttfn.

    Kristine, to answer your question... one so small you need tweezers to hold it. Walking through forests of palm tree apartments --- scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday --- eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday. Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows --- they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows. Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me. I'm a tiger when I want love, but I'm a snake if we disagree. Just say a word and the boys will be right there: with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air. Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder? Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder. I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.'' This game that we animals play is a winner. Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me. I'm a tiger when I want love, but I'm a snake if we disagree. The rivers are full of crocodile nasties and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass. He's a lover of life but a player of pawns --- yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn to light up His Jungle as play is resumed. The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

    Blue Moons and Fridays and Mystics
    Happy Friday, everyone...TGIF indeed for those of us in a traditional 5 day work week. Was it one month ago we were all giddy with excitement? As the first week of August looms, let's celebrate Jerry's birth and life...a nine-day Jerry week for those who look at the bookends of Birth and Death. This upcoming week my sweetheart and I are celebrating 20 years sharing, laughing, crying, working, playing, loving, living and enjoying life together. Once in a blue moon a gem comes around, and I am so thankful and humble that she strolled into my life. This goes out to my honey Lynne', a throwback to 1970 and Van Morrison...Kristine, this was posted earlier but shut down for an admin review of a link to u-tube...you weren't imagining things... We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won As we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly Into the mystic And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home And when the fog horn blows, I want to hear it I don't have to fear it And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will fold Into the mystic When that fog horn blows, you know I will be coming home And when that fog horn whistle blows, I gotta hear it I don't have to fear it And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will fold Into the mystic Come on, girl Too late to stop now

    A mother once she had a lovely daughter,The mother was an actress on the stage; She traveled with a troop of awful lions, And every night went in them lions' cage. One night the daughter had a premonition, That everything that night would not be right-- And so she told her mother, in the kitchen, "Don't go in them lions' cage tonight!" Don't go in them lion's cage tonight, Mother Them lions are ferocious and they bight! And in their angry fits, they could tear you all to bits So don't go in them lions cage, tonight! The mother laughed " Ha! Ha!" to hear this warning That unto her, her daughter tried to give, Said she "I do not fear them awful lions Not one of them could make me cease to live!" She went into that cage of awful lions The lions were ferocious as could be. "Alas!" she cried, when one strode up and bit 'er, "I now recall what daughter said to me." "Oh who will save my mother" cried the daughter, "By lions she is being bit and et!" "I will!" replied a young man from the gallery, "I'll save your mother from them brutes, you bet!" He stepped into that cage and grabbed the mother From lion biting she was almost dead, "Here is your ma" he said to her, and kissed her For he the maiden loved and soon did wed.

Totes has a point... My life has been lived in the moment for a while now....about 2 years... This merry band of strangers have been brought together by a cultural phenomenon and will convene for but a second in our virtual lives... I am happy to support and contribute ideas for a website...if asked Unfortunately I am unlikely to use it as well... But....I do understand that some people need living testaments and memorials and others like me are fine with the faded memories....they are almost always better than the real thing. Irrespective of personal preferences ...our collective thanks go to geohelpingtobuildamemorialforSunshinedaydreamersastheyseefitmeister After all we all have our own paths to follow... someone set me straight on that just about a month ago.... And I'm so lost down mine there ain't no going back! thanks George...hope you're feeling the love... :-)

Well said rrrrrgrrrrr. As much as these memories will live on and be a part me, it's all forward motion. The scrapbook idea is very nice though. I guess the SSDDer mission statement needs to be revised now. Contact the Poobah, we need chase this wabbit down the hole and create an IT department! The pill mother gave me didn't do anything at all. Tap, tap. Dammit, is this thing on? Where's Alice, I think she'll know. Hey Alice!

Amen to that, and amen to Totem, I don't know nothin about no website. Whose dumb/clever idea was that? Actually, the URLs were procured so no scum bag would grab them and try to scalp bootleg tshirts or something. What about that back 40 acre spread down by the river we were planning on getting for an annual pic-a-nic? Who's in charge of that? And what about the go-fund me kickstarter campaign to fund indigent sunshiners? And the Daydreamers? The house band? we gotta have a place to practice, if we existed, which we don't, but I play a mean air-guitar, and keep knocking into my monitor here. What about the pies? We need more pies. And Ice Cream. And cobbler...a big old dutch oven full of peach cobbler, plenty of cinnamon and maybe a sassafras stick or three. Anyone got 40 acres we can have? maybe with a river, you know, one that we can listen to as it sings sweet songs to rock our souls...and our canoes...gotta have canoes... Gonna be a nice pic-a-nic... Have a great day everyone... geomusemeister

All of matter is just very very very very very very condensed energy - no one has ever been here ever, but still there are albums and memories, faded and clear, and every once in an while a service is born from an idea and sometimes it helps... nothing born out of nothing and that's become everything. We are all in the story. Some will be on the site or in the non-profit, and it's all just right.

I note that 1) you have been on-board this forum bus since the last decade, and 2) you scored a single sweet Saturday suite ducat in a clever way, and 3) you know the magic handshake and posted on our friendly pic-a-nic board, and 4) it looks like you may already a sunshine daydreamer of the finest caliber and be in Chicago for that celebratory weekend, and last, but not least, 5) you probably do know how the songs go. Noting also that rgrgrrrgr hit the brakes long enough for you to hop on board and you got a nod from him... We welcome you to our friendly group of travelers...it appears all you have to do is PM one of us and you may find yourself taking it to the next level as it were, for we need to get you specific information...like tshirt, meet-ups, etc...for that we need your all important email address. Grab a seat, buckle up, say hi, but watch out, if you raise your hand, rgrgrgrrr may ask you to brive da dus... Good to know you! geonotthepoobahmeister

Went to Oriole Park tonight to see my birds play, and what had been a peaceful demonstration against our local death by cop episode, escalated into a bottle/stone throwing riot right outside the stadium. My first thought was "i hope nothing like this happens in Chicago" Ive GOT to get my head more into the now. I love my city. I believe we we can find justice without tearing it down.. probably just naive. mmmbop bop bop madswan needs more Ghandi.
