Happy Tuesday. Hope your day is lovely.

I know that you are not able to listen to the music; I will see if I can find some lyrics later.

I'll try to find time to relax.

I'm afraid to FReep, it's addictive, once I get on here I could spend my whole vacation FReeping! AAAAAaaaaa!

If God had not given us brains, sex, beer, and AC would be nonexistent.

I explained that due to the fact I was only packing 3 handguns I was casual.

So what did you wear with your tux, Mr. Groom?

Dillon carried only one 45 Colt. Not enough firepower for the average trip to WalMart.

Just the 9mm. I was in a Baptist Church, so there was plenty of back up in the pews.

I know how addictive Freeping is. I would be here all day if not for Marissa. She does need attention once in awhile. :)

IE: Can I have chocolate milk? Can I have a cookie?, Not until after lunch .... Can I have lunch? Can I play in the water? Can I watch a movie? Can I play with Louie/Max? Can I have candy?, not until after dinner ..... Can I have dinner? Can I have an apple?

I didn't mention breakfast, bath or bedtime story.

She only takes a small amount of my time. LOL

Oesy posted these lyrics in post #15

Lilli Marleen

Underneath the lantern,
By the barrack gate
Darling I remember
The way you used to wait
T'was there that you whispered tenderly,
That you loved me,
You'd always be,
My Lilli of the lamplight,
My own Lilli Marleen

Time would come for roll call,
Time for us to part,
Darling I'd caress you
And press you to my heart,
And there 'neath that far-off lantern light,
I'd hold you tight ,
We'd kiss good night,
My Lilli of the lamplight,
My own Lilli Marleen

Orders came for sailing,
Somewhere over there
All confined to barracks
was more than I could bear
I knew you were waiting in the street
I heard your feet,
But could not meet,
My Lilli of the lamplight,
my own Lilli Marleen

Resting in our billets,
Just behind the lines
Even tho' we're parted,
Your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleams,
Your sweet face seems
To haunt my dreams
My Lilli of the lamplight,
My own Lilli Marleen

-- Tommie Connor, 1944



At the barracks compound,
By the entry way
There a lantern I found
And if it stands today
Then we'll see each other again
Near that old lantern we'll remain
As once Lilli Marleen.

Both our shadows meeting,
Melding into one
Our love was not fleeting
And plain to everyone,
Then all the people shall behold
When we stand by that lantern old
As once Lilli Marleen.

Then the guard to me says:
"There's tap call, let's go.
This could cost you three days."
"Be there in half a mo'."
So that was when we said farewell,
Tho' with you I would rather dwell,
With you, Lilli Marleen.

Well she knows your foot steps,
Your own determined gait.
Ev'ry evening waiting,
Me? A mem'ry of late.
Should something e'er happen to me,
Who will under the lantern be,
With you Lilli Marleen?

From my quiet existence,
And from this earthly pale,
Like a dream you free me,
With your lips so hale.
When the night mists swirl and churn,
Then to that lantern I'll return,
As once Lilli Marleen.

-- fairly literal translation by Frank, 1998

After a few beers I will drive Laura Earl to a Walmart and sit in the truck. I give her cover fire to get in and out.

I don't know if I would ever survive a visit to Alabama...but then after watching the news this summer, it's a wonder I get to and from work.
