Who's the Boss?

Today I have to go to a Board meeting and make a presentation.
Right up there with getting wisdom teeth pulled without benefit of anesthesia

Places to go...people to see...points to make...points to lose....
Dollars to spend...dollars to make
But while I go about the business of going about my business....
believe me....
I'm working on a dream.

Just a Note

An old friend told me once that my life was set to music- I have a sneaking suspicion he was being a bit sarcastic at the time, as I was your typical histrionic teenage girl- but I didn't care- I liked the idea.
Maybe it was growing up with all those great movie scores with swelling string sessions. You know, in your mind, running through the streets to meet Cary Grant at the top of the Empire State Building....that kind of stuff.

Or maybe it was the poets in those turbulent years

Simon and Garfunkle
"hello darkness, my old friend....I've come to talk with you again...."

Leonard Cohen
Suzanne takes you down
To a place by the river
You can see the boats go by
You can spend the night forever

Donovan-
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility.
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.

High school dances....the songs coming from the radio of your first car...the song you listened to over and over when "he" did not call....your wedding song.....the song you sang to your child at bedtime....

You know...life set to music

Predictions

You just have got to love a country that looks to groundhogs to predict the weather.
But then again- we look to politicians to correct the future.....
Personal trainers to change our bodies.....
And time to change everything for the better.




So- Happy Ground Hog Day....I am predicting nothing- but hoping for the best...working toward the better....believing in it all.
