Love is but a song we sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Some may come and some may go He will surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now If you hear the song I sing You will understand, listen You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now I said come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Right now Right now

    ...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.

Even if the pretty b*tch does have me dragging flats of plants in & out the damn garage. I'm patient for July; I love Spring with her lilacs, sugar-magnolias, green-grass perfume and a driveway overflowing with the spoils of one's greenhouse hunts. Life's too short to wish it away.

I was told June 10th or thereabouts by GDTSTOO in early March shortly after the TM debacle...they "wanted people to have tickets in hand by mid June" but it's all assumption until one of us gets them

As Mayor I have only one request from you. Don't wear the hot pants. They didn't go over so well last time. Mr. Haney's ex got just a little bit too excited and the town meeting REALLY got out of hand as a result. We don't want that again, so please...no hot pants. Another election already???? Man time is accelerating at an alarming rate...
