Heartache in the words of Alan Jackson
Remember when it was
midnight in Montgomery, and we’d been
chasin’ that neon rainbow, thinking it must be
five o’clock somewhere? But
here in the real world, we should be
livin’ on love that’s
right on the money.
Look at me – this
country boy
wanted to have a
little bitty
good time. But
where were you? Now you’re making me want to
pop a top again, wishing I were on a
freight train
home, where I could just
drive through the
tall, tall trees and
remember when.

Getting Close
Two weeks until my Jeopardy audition - too much studying to do! Art, classical music, opera - so much to remember (or forget!).

Song Thoughts
Just one verse so far, but I like it!
We were drivin' down the road
She was screamin' at me
Tellin' me all about her misery
How much I hurt her
And how bad she feels
I didn't know that's what she meant by hell on wheels
We were drivin' down the road
She was screamin' at me
Tellin' me all about her misery
How much I hurt her
And how bad she feels
I didn't know that's what she meant by hell on wheels

Such is Life
They say age is just a state of mind. Well, today the state I'm in is Kansas ... in January ... during a blizzard ... after the crops have died ... and Toto has been hit by a snowplow. Hope you're doing better!

The Path
Let me be more like you
Let me be less like me
The more that I follow You
The better my life will be
Let me be less like me
The more that I follow You
The better my life will be

Happy Easter Wishes
If the devil ever gets to you
And you can't quite make it through
Just remember how His precious love
Was a gift for me and you
And you can't quite make it through
Just remember how His precious love
Was a gift for me and you

Little Things Mean a Lot
Love can't be measured with diamonds and gold
Before you spend your money, I ought to let you know
If you want to get to me, try the little things
Don't need a mansion on top of a hill
Too many rooms with nothing to fill
You can furnish me with the little things
Rub my back, make me laugh
Hold me while I dream
All it takes to make my day
Is to tell me you love me - little things
Before you spend your money, I ought to let you know
If you want to get to me, try the little things
Don't need a mansion on top of a hill
Too many rooms with nothing to fill
You can furnish me with the little things
Rub my back, make me laugh
Hold me while I dream
All it takes to make my day
Is to tell me you love me - little things

Maynard
A simple little box
can bring back many memories
... childhood
... adolescence
... marriages
... divorces
... births
... deaths
Somehow life still goes on
with a hole in my heart
which carries my mother
as if she were still alive
can bring back many memories
... childhood
... adolescence
... marriages
... divorces
... births
... deaths
Somehow life still goes on
with a hole in my heart
which carries my mother
as if she were still alive

Short Story Idea
Don't know where I'm going to take this, but here is the first paragraph of my new short story. Let me know what you think.
The oppressive heat settled around us like a protective glove. Quickly we got to the task at hand. Within minutes, we were bathed in sweat. Struggling and striving, we stacked the bodies into little pyramids of six and ten.

Eternity
A beautiful sunset over the ocean
A humbling panorama of majestic mountains
An inspiring sense of calm from birds gliding high above
No matter how diligently one tries
these images cannot be put into words
that will do justice to the experience
So it is how I feel about you
but rather than judge my efforts as
falling short of the mark, I'll do my
very best to share all my being with you
And I hope you sense beauty, inspiration,
humility in my very emotions
You are a gift;
a wish from a magic lamp
I loved you in
... previous lives
I love you in this life
I will love you
in future lives
This is about my love
from your companion...
for as long
as you will have me.
