~Favorite "Flower" Songs~
*Killswitch Engage - Rose Of Sharyn*
Now we're broken, here I stand alone Wondering what were the last words I said to you Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time,can I turn back time
What would I give to behold The smile, the face of love You never left me The Rising sun Will always speak your name
Now were broken, here I stand alone Wondering what were the last words I said to you It won't be long, we'll meet again
What would I give to behold The smile, the face of love You never left me The rising sun Will always speak your name
It won't be long, we'll meet again Your memory is never passing It won't be long, we'll meet again My love for you is everlasting
I mourn for those who never knew you I mourn for those who never knew you
It won't be long, we'll meet again Your memory is never passing It won't be long, we'll meet again My love for you is everlasting
*Jud Strunk - Daisy A Day*
He remembers the first time he met er He remembers the first thing she said He remembers the first time he held her And the night that she came to his bed
He remembers her sweet way of sayin Honey has somethin gone wrong He remembers the fun and the teasin And the reason he wrote er this song
Ill give you a daisy a day, dear Ill give you a daisy a day Ill love you until the rivers run still And the four winds we know blow away
They would walk down the street in the evenin And for years I would see them go by And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore r Could be seen in the gleam of their eyes
As a kid they would take me for candy And I loved to go taggin along Wed hold hands while we walked to the corner And the old man would sing er his song
Ill give you a daisy a day, dear Ill give you a daisy a day Ill love you until the rivers run still And the four winds we know blow away
Now he walks down the street in the evenin And he stops by the old candy store And I somehow believe hes believin Hes holdin er hand like before
For he feels all her love walkin with him And he smiles at the things she might say Then the old man walks up to the hilltop And gives her a daisy a day
Ill give you a daisy a day, dear Ill give you a daisy a day Ill love you until the rivers run still And the four winds we know blow away
*Carmen "Flower Song" - Placido Domingo*
Don José La fleur que tu m'avais jetée dans ma prison m'était restée, flétrie et sèche, cette fleur gardait toujours sa douce odeur; et pendant des heures entières, sur mes yeux, fermant mes paupières, de cette odeur je m'enivrais et dans la nuit je te voyais! Je me prenais à te maudire, à te détester, à me dire: pourquoi faut-il que le destin l'ait mise là sur mon chemin! Puis je m'accusais de blasphème, et je ne sentais en moi-même, je ne sentais qu'un seul désir, un seul désir, un seul espoir: te revoir, ô Carmen, oui, te revoir! Car tu n'avais eu qu'à paraître, qu'à jeter un regard sur moi, pour t'emparer de tout mon être, ô ma Carmen! Et j'étais une chose à toi! Carmen, je t'aime!
In prison I kept lovingly The flower you had thrown at me. Though it had faded and turned dry, It still smelled sweet as time went by; And I would put that special flower On my closed eyes, hour after hour. Drunk with that fragrance, I felt light, And there I saw you in the night! At times I would begin to hate you, To curse you and to execrate you, To say: why did it have to be That fate brought her so close to me! Then I thought that faith had defied me, And I only felt deep inside me, I only felt but one desire, But one desire, one hope, one yen, To see you, Carmen, yes, see you again! For all you needed was to be there, To throw a fleeting glance my way, To have full mastery of me there, Oh, Carmen, dear! And all you did with me was play! Carmen, I love you!

Y'know, I was looking for an excuse to post kitten pics... ;)
Here's Morrison. One of my SCCA friends will be giving him a furever home once he's old enough to leave his mama.
All have wandering privileges now. Mostly they stay in the master bedroom, although Monkey followed me out to the kitchen last night. We've started trying to feed them solid food and litterbox training them. They're not taking to the food just yet, but Janis is using the litterbox. Since I'm not finding little "presents" around I assume Patch is cleaning up after them... And here are Janis (left) and Jimi.
And lastly, little Monkey Face. My wife and I were so smitten with her that we've decided to keep her.

Survived PT. I did set some new records, and I paid for it today. I pedaled like a bandit on the stationary bike - 4.2 miles in 15 minutes. Could barely stand up today. But it's working. I'm developing power in the thighs. A few more weeks of this and I should be able to do it by myself.
I hope everything is going well with you. Will be signing off in a few.

Must retire the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.
Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!
Godspeed our Troops around the Globe especially those in harms way by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

All safe. I actually live in Denton county, north of Fort Worth. But I was living in Fort Worth at the time I joined FB so that’s the origin of the screen name. :)
