helplessly loving my daughter, from too far away. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I hope that you’ll remember / even when you’re feeling blue / that it’s you I like / It’s you yourself / It’s you I like.
A WiP post…
oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day — i have a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way [today, anyway!]
i’m dreaming of a white Christmas….
imagine: writing, so warmly, while sipping my motherfucking coffee. Hell yeah.
oh, y’all. i love y’all.
thank you for helping me have such a wonderful birthday!

You who live your lives in cities or among peaceful ways cannot always tell whether your friends are the kind who would go through fire for you. But on the Plains, one’s friends have an opportunity to prove their mettle. ~Buffalo Bill
put the lime in the coconut and you feel better / put the lime in the coconut drink ‘em both up / put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning (listening to this with Katie right now!)
In the early 1800s, people would find the initials G.T.T. carved on the doors of family’s and friends’ houses — Gone To Texas. Texas was the place to go, a sanctuary for outlaws, a place to start all over again, a place to begin for the first time. For me, it’s just home.
just sitting in the quiet, feeling happy and grateful this morning for more things than i can say
plumbing and sounding the depths.
Chicago, Chicago that toddling town / Chicago, Chicago I will show you around – I love it / Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago / The town that Billy Sunday couldn’t shut down
wow! I’m proud all right, proud as a whitewashed pig! (~the widow Sugrue, Darby O’Gill and the Little People, 1959)
these are two of my favorite people in the whole wide world: Katie and Marnie, my girls.
love is all you need. really, that’s true.
Daughter! what words have pass’d thy lips unweigh’d! (Replied the Thunderer to the martial maid;)
all you need is love / all you need is love / all you need is love / love is all you need. that, and a big enough bandwidth for streaming.
one of the top 5 weekends of my LIFE
We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a physical experience ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways / And oh the change is gonna do me good
two of the thoughtful people who mean a lot to me
oh happy, sunny day. oh how i’ve missed you.
forget your troubles, c’mon get happy…
happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear sweet marnie, happy birthday to you!
fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again. (*smack*)
It was as if all of the happiness, all of the magic of this blissful hour had flowed together into these stirring, bittersweet tones and flowed away, becoming temporal and transitory once more. ~herman hesse
if you lie like a rug, and you don’t give a damn / you’re never gonna be as happy as a clam
will i wait a lonely lifetime, if you want me to, i will.
a little of this, a little of that, and pretty soon you’ve got something.
from poe to kafka to aqua socks. it’s one of those days.
look at what Katie did! (said her exceedingly proud mother…)
it’s just for today – all bets are off tomorrow!
Katie and Trey, Marnie and Tom, just a few of my beloved kids.
