“Honey was still holding my hand, sitting on the same side of the booth as me. My appetite came back, but I didn’t really see the point of eating. I had tried to talk to my daughter, and was almost sure she didn’t understand me. The only productive thing I did was make a little boy say, “Bullshit.”
An excerpt from Honey, Legos, a Squirell, Marcus and Me, by Alexander Francani.

WOO knew that one by heart.
My turn:
Once I rose above the noise and confusion…
…Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
But I looked it up… I don’t know that song.
Here’s the next one:
Life is not tried…
It is merely survived
If you’re standing outside the fire.
Love that song.
Next:
It started way back in third grade…
My recommended book for the day: Boy with a Loaded Gun – Lewis Nordan.
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes…
I loved that song when I was about 8 years old.
Red Dirt Girl – good music
I STILL love that song! It’s a classic.
One song I’ve recently realized that no one can deny and everyone just seems to love: Build Me Up Buttercup by the Foundations.
It’s so infectious.
Song of the Week… Soul Sister by Train
ABSOLUTELY. LOVE that song.
“Buttercup” reminds me of Italy. A little squirt of a high school kid got up in the middle of my bus and sang it over the loudspeaker for a bus karaoke thing while we drove down the coast of Italy.
Somewhere I have a tape recording of this event and many others.

I can’t help it that I’m posting too quickly. I just happen to type swiftly.
Swiftly flow the fleeting phenomena.
I love the word “phenomena.”
It’s fun to place the stress in different parts of the word.
pheNOMena
phenomenAAAA
What do you have against FENomina?
Anyone vote today?
I think it’s harder to say than the other ones.
It doesn’t flow as well when you try and put it in a sentence.
I’ll use it sometime today and see how it goes.
Maybe it will work.
I voted! It’s a lot harder to vote this way than just clicking on your name.
You voted today, Sr. Alejandro.
Well, not quite. And don’t you forget it.
