One summer day, she went away;
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.
All the summer, worked all this fall.
Had to take Christmas in my overalls.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.
Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.
Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.
WOW! Had a wee bit of trouble gettin' in here this morning, but some magic Boston manager seem to correct the problem pronto, or it could have been a Florida flora.
Anyhoo, I call this celebration a "prelated" birthday celebration. And as to Setanta's ghost--a spoonerism full of sugar makes the medicine go down, OAK.
Love the pictures. One day I'm gonna learn to do 'em
Hope I have that much time left.
Yeap, olk, beer is very good in these hot days
Rockin' Daddy
Yes they call me the rocker, I can rock you all night long
Yes they call me the rocker, I can rock you all night long
I can let you down easy, when I think your money's gone.
I can rock you easy, don't want you to hesitate
I can rock you easy, don't want you to hesitate
I can let you down easy, like-a like jelly on a plate.
Some twistin' and shakin', don't mean a thing to me
Some twistin' and the shakes, don't mean a thing to me
I'm a hip shakin' daddy, I can shake like a willow tree.
They call me the rocker, I can really rock a while
They call me the rocker, I can really rock a while
With a real gone mama, don't let me fake your style.
I can rock you easy, you don't want to hesitate.
I can rock you easy, you don't want to hesitate.
I can let you down easy, like jelly on a plate.
Walter, Hilarious.
Good grief! Take a look at this. Talk about a natural high.

My Gawd. I just saw where London has hit 100 degrees.

Hey, Phoenix. Homer is so cute, but I think that Rae has run off with Johnny Depp.

Margo,,, I can't wait for the Rugby World Cup. If England win it , that'll make my year, if they don't, well c'est la vie
Hmmm.....JOHN OF ENGLAND. I like that. You'd make a much better king than that silly Charles. Too bad Brits can't vote.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JoE!
