So far this is pretty much a "one man show," but I keep on plugging, hoping to start a conversation. So, if you please, jump on anywhere in this collection of random thoughts. Today I'm sparked by all the people I've been encountering lately who actually want to talk about what's going on in our world. I am also encouraged by all the people lining up for possible service to our country in the White House. And, as always, I'm grateful for every brave guardian of my freedom at home and abroad.
All this noble effort to make good on life reminds me of a time when I thought everything was always all right - and of a song that still rings true to me:
Say, say, oh playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Shout down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever more more.
Say, say, oh playmate
I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Can't climb your rain barrel,
Can't slide your cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends forever more.
