    Sun's up, looks ok
    Sun's up, uh huh, looks okayThe world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, going to sail into eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...

    coffee is on.... Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start

    We know of an ancient radiation That haunts dismembered constellations, A faintly glimmering radio station. While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather, The flies and spiders get along together, Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record. Beyond the suns that guard this roof, Beyond your flowers of flaming truths, Beyond your latest ad campaigns, An old man sits collecting stamps In a room all filled with Chinese lamps. He saves what others throw away. He says that he'll be rich some day. We know of an ancient radiation That haunts dismembered constellations, A faintly glimmering radio station.

    So you want to jump out your trick bagAnd ease on into a hip bag But you ain't just exactly sure what's hip So you start to let your hair grow Spend big bucks to cop you a wardrobe But somehow you know there's much more to the trip [Chorus] What is hip? Tell me, tell me if you think you know What is hip? If you was really hip The passing years would show You into a hip trip Maybe hipper than hip But what is hip? So you became part of the new breed Been smokin' only the best weed Been hangin' out on the so-called hippest set Being seen at all the right places Being seen with just the right faces You should be satisfied Still it ain't quite right [Chorus] Hipness, what it is! Hipness, what it is! Hipness, what it is! And sometimes hipness is What it ain't! You done even went and found you a guru In your effort to find you a new you And maybe even managed To raise your conscious level As you striving to find the right road There's one thing you should know What's hip today Might become passe

I Lived in Buffalo for each and every Super Bowl loss. Didn't watch a game for years after number 4. That gave me an appreciation for soccer, although I do go to Bucs games when the team is in town and look for a slam of the Bucs I am now a full Tampa Bay Rowdies fan though. Ralph's Mob rules!

...for beating those nasty classless poor sports, the Seahags. Almost the best day in football, ever (and I don't like the Pats either). The exception: Russell Wilson has class and is a good sport, too bad he hasn't rubbed off on the rest of the team or the coach.

I know this sounds crazy, but cayanne pepper is a vascular dialator and will allow more blood to regions starved for it, many with migranes find relief from snorting a small amount, think matchhead. It will burn. Many report after the burn, headache is gone. I'm not sure how bad it would be, but I use a caynne based nasal spray, and after s short burn, sinus is clear. If you try it start small.

Yessiree...it works if indeed she has migraines, but if it's another cause it could steal her face right off her head..... Saw someone in an ER with a hemorrhagic nose bleed after snorting crushed red pepper, why I asked, did you do that? Response....cause I could..... then there was the guy with the lightbulb up his.... But I digress....

I do tend to get migraines, and though these current headaches have been on the tamer side, I attribute them to migraines since I do suffer from them, and also the three days in a row thing. They have been subsiding with medication - and my headache is better right now though my head not back to normal. I am DEFINITELY going to get some cayenne to keep on deck!! Thanks Boo! It's strange that I haven't heard that suggestion. I've done worse in my younger days, I think I'll be able to handle it and as I love spicy foods I might even like it. I guess I'll have to think twice about telling anybody anything about "where the light don't shine." Apparently, that is everywhere. Keep Stella Blue.

again I emphasize, start small! I consume a teaspoon or two of the cayenne daily, a 1/2 teaspoon in a cup of hot water a couple times daily, it keeps veins open wide, good for many ailments. Google cayenne health benefits, you will be suprised at the number of things it helps. Keep it away from rrrrgrrrr or he won't be able to sit down for a week.

Tonight's her sweet sixteen party,..I have to write a Toast,..I am no public speaker, and dread such things. It is so incredible to see what a beautiful young woman she has become.
