    Ooooh the water, I hope it don't rain on me.... Well it was out in California by the San Diego sea That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys Louisiana rain is falling at my feet Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge South Carolina put out its arms for me Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet Thank God for a love that followed the angel's remedy Louisiana rain is falling just like tears Running down my face, washing out the years Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge Well I never will get over this English refugee Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak Louisiana rain is falling at my feet Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street Louisian rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge Louisiana rain is falling just like tears Running down my face, washing out the years Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

    @ The Dance
    heartbreaking song... Do you wanna dance, and hold my hand? Tell me you're my lover man. Oh baby, do you wanna dance? We could dance under the moonlight, hug and kiss all through the night. Oh baby, tell me, do you wanna dance with me baby? Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby? Ah, that's right, ah, ah, aaaaaaaah. Do you want to dance under the moonlight? Hug me, kiss me, baby, all through the night. Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, tell me, do you want to dance? Oh, do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby? You got to dance with me baby. Please dance with me baby additional lyrics from the quadrophonic version Tonight you, you got to dance with me baby. Please, please, please dance with me baby. Please, please, please, please dance with me baby. Please, you got to . . . At least the hard part is over, for me at least. Going downhill on the hump till we slide into the weekend. Thanks for keepin the dream alive. We're floating together on an endless river...on a makeshift raft.

    Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I a king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance

    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for the place to go Where they play the right music, getting in the swing You come in to look for a king Anybody could be that guy Night is young and the music's high With a bit of rock music, everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance... You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen You're a teaser, you turn 'em on Leave them burning and then you're gone Looking out for another, anyone will do You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance... You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen [fade]

    Have you seen her? So fine and pretty. Fooled me with her style and ease. And I feel her from across the room. Yes, it's love in the third degree. Ooh, baby, baby. Won'tcha turn your head my way? Ooh, baby, baby. Come on, take a chance. You're old enough to dance the night away. Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away. A live wire. Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go. She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her higher than anything else she knows. Ooh, baby, baby. Won'tcha turn your head my way? Ooh, baby, baby. Well, don't skip romance, 'cause you're old enough to dance the night away. Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away. Dance the night away. Dance, dance, dance the night away.

    She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's nightShe was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight I could feel her coming from a mile away There was no use talking, there was nothing to say When the band began to play and play And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced, danced I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls But when I saw her smile across a crowded room, yeah Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon As the band began to play out of tune And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced, danced, yeah and we danced The endless beat, she's walkin' my way Hear the music fade when she says Are we getting too close, do we care to get closer The room is spinning as she whispers my name And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced, danced And we danced and we danced And we danced, oh baby And we danced, danced, danced Oh and we danced

Hey, buddy, since I haven't seen you in a while just wanted to let you know that I saw the Rox-Giants game on Friday at Coors Field. I love watching those two teams play! And now I find out that the Rox will be in SF for the SC shows. Bliss! Maybe we can put together a SD outing at AT&T.

Not sure if this has been covered before in this thread, but there is a bike share in Chicago called Divvy. It looks like it is a good form of cheap, healthy transport if you are in the downtown area. $7 for a 24-hour pass (unlimited 30 minute rides) with a ton of stations. http://www.divvybikes.com/

FACT: What has not been reported is the Orioles announced Phish would be performing at the game and everyone just turned their tickets back in. now you know, my foil hat friends. Happy Wednesday

My boy - word is ALL OVER your Brownies offering two #1's to Tenn !!! YOU WANT MARCUS !!! Problem might be those even lower J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets who sit at #6 and could trump you guys. Dude, we were there a couple of years ago when your Browns opened the season against my Eagles. Spent nearly the entire Saturday before at the R&R HOF and the Dead special, entire top floor exhibit there - OMG !!! Anyways, we hung out at lake Erie, saw the dead rats floating in the river as we tailgated, kicked ass in corn hole and flip-cup in the parking lot, and loved your town's game-day experience - TOUCHÉ !!! BTW, Birds kicked ass :-) FLY EAGLES FLY !!

We havn't sunken into the ocean yet... I'm a tri-coastal gal, having grown up in Hawaii and Boston - back and forth all of the years until I planted my flag in California and British Columbia, depending on the time... It's a beautiful day today, and we are here, organizing a screening to raise money for the Nepal Earthquake-affected. My cousin and baby cousin survived it, near the epicenter. They are coming home to NoCal for a little respite before deciding on next move. I am some yarn in that net. Headache has gone so now to prepare for my daily trip to the mines. Also I got my t-shirt(s). 443!! Maybe I WILL have a spot more of joe before I go...

Browns .... NO TRADE. Too many other needs to mortgage the future on mariota. He will be a very good QB I'm sure but he can't play D nor catch the ball. RnR HOF is very cool. I have not been there in a few years...long drive from Texas. Browns game day experience IS a blast. Imagine how cool it will be when they start winning (Insert joke about hell freezing over). I remember that game. Watched it a sports bar here in DFW. P***ed me off when Bs dropped INT in late Q4 then Eagles scored. Another example of the Browns almost always almost win.

Having grown up in NYC and watching the Jets, then living in Buffalo for 36 years and bleeding red white and blue....I have hated many teams, none as much as the Pats..with that said....I wish The hoodie was our coach and Brady our QB....Road king you have one hell of a franchise up there and while watching the Super bowl in Maui with Seahawk fans I was in awe of your teams victory.... Congrats and glad you are one of us! Can't wait for fall!

I recall, many moons ago, the Boston Patriots, and man did they suck!!! Growing up in Buffalo with a father that hailed from Boston we would go to the home games, and for the longest time the patsies were woeful. Their time will come. Go Bills.
