Father's Day

* * * * *

There are days, not dedicated to Fathers, 

that I miss Norm like crazy.

I miss his smile, his strong hug, 

how he never looked away - always straight into my eyes.

Not a "chatting" type, but would certainly engage

in conversation when invited - and I always invited him.

I would give anything to share a coffee on the deck

and talk to him today.

I think I'll go do that right now.

This is IT!

* * * * *

This is it.

Housechores are drudgery!

but it could be FUN if we made a "gathering"

out of it.

This week my house, ok?

Next week yours.

WOOSH

* * * * *

do you get just a tad woozy looking at this photo?

The ride would be incredible - if you had great balance

and didn't mind a little "woosh" in your ears!

and another thing about WOOSH:

June CANNOT be half spent - 

I haven't started spring cleaning

nor put one pot of flowers in the ground...

....june cannot be half spent...

woosh.

Joy Ride

* * * * *

It's been too long that I've taken the joy ride

down Lombard Street at night.

San Francisco

by Thomas Hawks

epic - in our day...

1949:

George Orwell's 1984

is published. 

* * * * *

Gimme Shelter

 * * * * *

 Do you close your eyes, sway or bob your head

in rhythmic waves to the music...

and then watch it again to internalize the 

musical magic from around the world?

Good.

That's supposed to happen when you watch

PLAYING FOR CHANGE

"Playing For Change has produced some great videos over the years, connecting street musicians around the world as they blend their sounds on covers of well-known tunes.
The latest is Gimme Shelter, which Keith Richards and Mick Jagger wrote at the height of the Vietnam War and as the counterculture tilted to the crazy side of things. Four decades later, the song obviously still resonates."
