I need Crackers.....

What a Friend We Have in Cheeses

What a friend we have in cheeses,

Mozzarella, Cheddar, Swiss!

Bleu and Limberger's sweet breezes

Lingering like a lover's kiss.

Humble milk's apotheosis,

Muenster, Provolone, Brie

Damn cholesterol's thrombosis

Cheese is Gouda stuff by me!

Heed the U. S. Dairy Council,

Keep the Gruyere on the shelf

Even just a tiny ounce'll

Give you vitamin B-12.

Gather, pilgrims at the deli

Buying Edam and Havarti,

Wedges moist and cold and smelly,

Bring home lots and have a party!

Because I ran out of egg noodles....

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.

Whatever?

A lie is whatever I want it to be; the truth is usually much less interesting.

I have

..immersed my self in 'Peace like a River', Leif Enger. I have saved the last 50 pages for tonight. every good boy deserves a favor..... and sometimes even boys like me. I would highly recommend it to Sherry Payton and Missy. sometimes everyone needs a good book.

..I cleaned my entire apartment. including scrubbing the bathroom floor.

..I have quit drinking for Lent. Lent is two days, right?

..still grokking Neko Case, 'Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. I thought it was bad.... then I thought it was good and then I thought I needed a beer. Lent's over, right? I would recommend it to Lisa, cause new music is Golden..... and there are really peachy-keen Edward Gorey type graphics all over it.



..The curfew tolls the knell of parting day
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,+

The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,

And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,

And all the air a solemn stillness holds,

Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,

And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds:

.. fully expect to win the lottery tomorrow

..the goddam coffee machine at the office is not working

..The quality of mercy is not strain'd,

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

..Bell's Brewery Hop Slam is my new favorite beer. Oblio's picked up another barrel just for me.

..good lies are hard to come by. and sometimes the truth is just a like a sparrow fallen frozen from the sky.

and sometimes...............

Stuff

Ok. Word is that Spartz at http://mysaturdayeveningpost.blogspot.com/

... got to meet Yogi.... and has the pictures to prove it!

Now I am not a really big baseball fan..... in fact I am not a fan at all.......

But Yogi Berra is one of the world's best word manglers.... and that makes him a hero of mine!

If anyone has NOT read Yogi quotes.......ya gotta check 'em out;

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"It ain't the heat, it's the humility."

and there's more....http://www.baseball-almanac.com/quotes/quoberra.shtml

My favorite has always been:

"If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else."

which is how I ended up on the blogs......and meeting so many nice people.....

sometimes when you come to a fork in the road, ya gotta take it!

For Aunt Helen, who I miss Dearly

Once there was a giving tree who loved a little boy.
And everyday the boy would come to play
Swinging from the branches, sleeping in the shade
Laughing all the summer’s hours away.
And so they love,
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.
But soon the boy grew older and one day he came and said,
"Can you give me some money, tree, to buy something I’ve found?"
"I have no money," said the tree, "Just apples, twigs and leaves."
"But you can take my apples, boy, and sell them in the town."
And so he did and
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.
But soon again the boy came back and he said to the tree,
"I’m now a man and I must have a house that’s all my home."
"I can’t give you a house"she said, "The forest is my house."
"But you may cut my branches off and build yourself a home"
And so he did.
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.
And time went by and the boy came back with sadness in his eyes.
"My life has turned so cold," he says, "and I need sunny days."
"I’ve nothing but my trunk," she says, "But you can cut it down
And build yourself a boat and sail away."
And so he did and
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.
And after years the boy came back, both of them were old.
"I really cannot help you if you ask for another gift."
"I’m nothing but an old stump now. I’m sorry but I’ve nothing more to give"
"I do not need very much now, just a quiet place to rest,"
The boy, he whispered, with a weary smile.
"Well", said the tree, "An old stump is still good for that."
"Come, boy",she said, "Sit down, sit down and rest a while."
And so he did and
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.
