There were three men came out of the West,
Their fortunes for to try,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn must die.
They've ploughed, they've sewn, they've harrowed him in,
Threw clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn was dead.
They've let him lie for a very long time,
‘Till the rains from heaven did fall,
And little Sir John sprung up his head,
And so amazed them all.
They've let him stand ‘till midsummer's day,
‘Till he looked both pale and wan,
And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard,
And so become a man...

"The huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor so loudly to blow his horn
And the tinker he can't mend kettle or pots without a little barleycorn"
I guess alcohol has been around a while... I wonder why in some places it's accepted and other not?
Anyway, good morning, all! Fridays are always happy days, and today is no different. Sun is shinning, 22 degrees outside, and I'm footloose and fancy free! Steam is rising from my mug of East India Company's "Royal Breakfast" tea, and I'm eating the last of the fried polenta left over from dinner the other night. I don't think I will eat left over polenta again... It just doesn't cut it as a breakfast food. It really needs a big dollop of spicy salsa... Say... why didn't I put some on? I have it in the fridge... Oops! Too late!

I'm sure you'll do fine. Are you more nervous about the content of the debate or the public speaking?

Some cold milk to calm down, and get back to trimming the final details of our speech.

Next time, instead of cold milk, warm it up a bit... Warming milk releases/changes one of the proteins into 'Tryptophan,' an enzyme the has a very calming effect on the body. This is why people suggest warm milk to help you sleep.

As a teenager, I had a summer job in the garment district of NYC, pushing racks of unfinished clothing from one area to another. I may have been the only non-Latino working there... I learned a LOT of street Spanish that summer!

For me, another mug of 'Royal Breakfast' tea!
