I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies.
Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies.
Turnin' on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying.
Healin' as the colours in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes.
Wakin' in the mornin' to the feelin' of her fingers on my skin.
Wipin' out the traces of the people and the places that I've been.
Teachin' me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying.
Talkin' of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend.
Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.
Good morning all! The start of another week. Ain't it grand! We made it! Alive... and no one's shooting at us! Yippee!
Today begins with East India Company's Assam tea, humus and flat bread, with kalamata olives! I had this same breakfast the other day and it was so nice I decided to try again! Yep! Just as nice!

Certainly does! There aren't many who have ever heard of this word. It's not even in all dictionaries. But it fits me to a 'T.' I got kicked out of three different colleges right after high school at age 18... to much wine, women, and song, with a healthy dose of skiing instead of going to classes. Then came the Vietnam War. (I was there in '67, just in time for the Tet Offensive.) Then marriage, family, job... I didn't get myself back to school until I was 34. But by that time I had grown up enough to love it. Love it enough so that I graduated with two Bachelor's degrees, then went on for two Master's degrees, and a few years after that, a Doctorate.
Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Yessss!
Welcome to the Dark Side, Luke.
I think another cup of tea is needed right about now... This time, I think it will be something a bit stronger. China Black will do nicely!
