@Letty,

When I coached youth soccer, I made up a training game that I called
"Junkyard Dogs".

It's a sunny day here in Stoneham.

@George,

Funny about the name of your soccer game, dear friend, and thank the good lord your snow has gone.

Love Follow the Sun by Xavier Rudd. Wasn't there someone named Xavier Cugat? I need to check that out.

As you know, when I taught, we'd invite grade school kids to join
in our celebration of music:

@George,

Glad to see you back with us, dear friend. As you know
we like to rise and sing 'cause you don't like to shine. Smile

Love Tony doing that tribute to Billie and I'm glad
I'm not a trio again.

Here's Part I of Without a Trace, but I'm not
certain which one is Katrina:

Odd, I took all the photographs at the Cocoa gathering
and I'm not in one of them.

That was a nice "Without a Trace" tribute.

Here's one that was originally done by Billie Holliday.

@George,

Hope you liked the photographer and Shortnin' Bread, dear friend.

Thanks for the comment on Without a Trace. As you know I never
see Billie Holliday that I don't think of Nancy Wilson.

Here's one to match Diane's Old Devil Moon:

Hurry back, dear friend. I arose too early this morning and had to
take a cat nap. Smile

Well, today is President's day and as most of you know I met JFK.
