Thanks a lot fellas. Sampling some of your sharing this early Sunday morning in my part of the world. Working today as I try to close my office down so I'll have plenty of time to continue listening to your shares. First impression is that for some of them, I may need to dig out of the dungeon my little old and worn 420 address book and look up some old buddies.
I think I may have found my first selection as I ride off into the sunset. It reflects my reflective and pondering perspective mindset that comes from over a dozen years of my middle-aged man reflections at Pierini Fitness, and that I'm a incessant wordsmith. Here's what I'm talking about with the lyrics below:
"I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin' all night
It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son-of-a-bitches
I've seen more than I can recall
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
I wish I could jump on the plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God, I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothin; remains quite the same
With all of my runnin' and all of my cunning
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane."
Brim full of laughter and tears
One is measured in mile after mile
The other is measured in years
The landscape zooms by, it's here, now it's gone
Like my life with no lasting regret
Friends they ask me have I done the right thing
I gaze at them kindly "You bet !"
So the Highway of Life and highway I drive
Are the same, they begin and they end
The music brings hope, the day comes alive
And carries me on round the next bend.
