Happy Birthday Jeff.  It's been a special joy to know you are family.

The Square

Image
Obviously this is a picture of the town square (I have no idea of when or where I got it). I don't know what year it is (and I can't even tell by those cars [but I think it is in the 60's]). I don't remember them pave the road, do you?

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted frightened trees Out to the windy bench Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate Driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow Brother Brian knew early on that Bob had the gift.  I bought the first albums with my $20 a day (cash) from Rod's motorcycle shop.  Had to leave them in Carmichaels when I went off to the war.  I appreciate this acknowledgment by the Nobel committee.  Add your thoughts and lyrics if you will.

Will Collin - Best Of Boles

Image
It was so nice to see Will selected by the teachers at Boles Jr. High as a student that contributes in every way to all that he does at school.  Will is a straight A, advanced placement student, but this is about adding to the positive atmosphere of Boles and not just grades.  The teacher that nominated Will called him an All Star.  I agree.  Stephanie and I ran into one of his coaches for football, basketball and track, and he added that Will has been a joy to be around.  Nice to see that a 14 year old can be one of the "cool kids" with his group and still contribute so much to his classes and peers.
