I was just a boy of 17 when this wonderful song was released in 1969. And now, as of Sunday I will turn 64 and this song has a deeper, more personal meaning to me than it ever did before.


Yes, I'm at the stage where I'm reflecting on my life. I am glad and indeed feel blessed I've made it this far.

Back when 2 and a Half Men was still funny, there was a character named Kandi, who played the dumb broad role to the hilt:


I miss her.

....positive! Too much time and energy is being devoted to fear and death in the news. Look around you - do you see hate on your doorstep? Or do you see people who will smile when you smile, who will chat with you about the positive things going on in the world?

Don't succumb to hate. Drive it out of your world with love and peace. Oh, to have a real love train traveling around the globe promoting peace and love for your fellow man!

C'mon, people! Let's start the joy right now... get up, smile and dance with me!!!


Love, love, LOVE is what we all need.

... to tell someone to get "lost".

Sloppy Joes, baked beans and potato salad for dinner tonight.

When I'm ready to hit the can, everyone better get outta my way!

... seeing Tight_Wet_Lips blogging again, if just for a brief time.

Nostalgia rules!

... my semi-lazy day.

No work today, of course. I started the day with a light breakfast, then did a bit of yoga before working with some hand weights.

Next, I cleaned my place... dusting, sweeping and cleaning the bathroom and kitchen floors.

A light lunch, then check email, the local newspaper and the Sunday funnies online. Posted a few witty things on Facebook before a quick run through NN and, of course, posting this blog.

Time to make a quick pit stop for petrol, then take a drive through town.

Later, I'll scan some "arty pics" on the 'net, then shower before I fix dinner... homemade pizza tonight, ice cream (chocolate) for dessert.

After dishes are done, it's t.v. time! Preacher on AMC, The Night of on HBO and Ray Donovan on Showtime. Thank God for DVR's. lol

Finally, a movie. A classic western from 1971: McCabe and Mrs. Miller, starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie.

A great day today and a great night to come... life is GRAND!

One little quick blog yesterday and I am back on the list.

This explains why Tight_Wet_Lips is no longer at the top (or even listed) any more.

Seems that if you don't post any blogs for over a week, your name disappears from the most blogs list.

Maybe this will rectify the situation?

... and now for something completely different:
