Just to let you know, I had read this....again. And it's breaking my back to be hard, but that's what you do for a friend. The mix met again but what for? Thanking you for the words, my good sir....

Crickets go for a dime apiece? Come summer I could be rich! Thanks for the recipe

Sorry to hear 'bout ole Dave, but I think he might just be ok. I say yay! :happybanana: Finally L. Cohen is represented Good picking everyone but forgive me to say there are at least a few of these tunes I could maybe live without hearing again.

Thanks for the reads and takes and you’re right, Ron. When I look this thing over, I was hasty. The tenth line falls apart, then things go meandering and get damned superfluous from all the wrangling, my darned words!. There is too much noise. Please reserve me the right to make quiet (and write it all over again) ...on a bank somewhere waits a fisher. Is it Frank, the young benefactor? He sees fins that swim late and is given to rate all the other less known well bad actors....

Here’s another summer’s ending. Almost old the new beginnings. Wander lost you true believers Casting cost of what you leave here Fate may catch a chosen few But why not me and was not you. Been a fish? Well, w’ve been a factor. My super one wish still strains this reactor. Like that package you sent The crafter’s wish all well lent and yet so sufficient in laughter. Married not by union but damned separation Should abandon all hopes, embrace desperation. Sun light makes it’s trace on the stone that is placed At dawn, never changing, ever after. This starts such a so long, long, long time ago. And ends if I don’t think of you Go finish the part starts still half mine to know Yet slow, you’re afraid to go through Cold comes now soon though to claim all this freedom Claiming the weak and fueling religion Led not just by then but by now time allows Seems the farmer is god to his cows. Sadness gives my self-less it's least true companion Falling mountain will rise to fresh and new canyon That sound you hear now but obstructed somehow. Like pictures that try to say motion Here wait…. A drone all alone is the dirge that is cheer? A charm far away or the urge we see near? Surge upon surge and my fin you see here…. Please purge this one word fore the sea won’t see clear I gather the lines and the curse of my rent From waves that have come and the tide that is spent On the flat of the back of some fish I have wrapped Hope you’re not too much troubled by that. The miles poured between us stretch like days lost This dry land bored beyond any reasonable cost I while by the levee but why should you care The river is going and you’re already there...

This is amazing (op)!Oh, RedFish has been gone for a while.

Famous Blue Raincoat ~ Leonard Cohen ("And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way." ..... I'm still glad L. Cohen is not party music) Toes ~ Zac Brown Band (now this by contrast is nothing but fun and a Grammy going down to GA)

Lot’s of people knew this man was still alive, including I. Writing up nearly to the end, but just for himself, as he somewhat narcissistically stated. J.D. Salinger may have felt and even fostered resentment, but don’t we most at some times in our lives do the same in different ways, for varying reasons? I always thought maybe it was a reaction to a form of embarrassment that led him to hermit and retreat. Almost certainly, the original motivation to creation did not match up to the results received. He was just a man telling storys as best he could (which was very, very good, imo, btw). Not sure he ever conceived those words and his person would become subject to the intense scrutiny they would receive. No one ever knows how gigantic success or all-encompassing failure could affect their reactions of or view to the world, and the overwhelming majority of us will never have to worry much about finding out. For better or worse. So yes, J. D. Salinger, writer of 'Rye', and much more, was alive up until Wednesday last. Perhaps a little, at least, unbalanced more spectacularly than the rest of us. But what he could have done, but didn’t ever, was try to milk the moment by surrendering his oneness to the alter of public adoration. This to his un-dying credit and risk of eventual obscurity. Long may his thoughts live … Jerome David Salinger 1/1/19 ~ 1/27/10

Why thank you, is it funny? BTW, have you tried the new mac wraps? Been one of those days. Sure hope I get paid

For takeout I wish you would call me and I want for my bell just to ring. Other times I'm just too busy and I hope you do cook some other thing. The soup now is boiling, the stew overdue, I question the stove yet it's toiling, but I’m missing the recipe for you. For dinner you’re just out to stir trouble. Fingers dripping spoiled milk make a ripple in the simmer where we broil, chop and shout. As you push over chairs, you flail at the air and think garlic just might make a difference. All along with due force, passing your fast, and first course lingers the River Windrush.

Laughing Loudly To Myself Haven't been there yet Muzik, but in terms of derriere, it's maybe just a matter of time Thanks for having my back! Amazing what we'll endure just to get another day done and make sure there's time for at least one more pun...

Psychiatrist or psychologist? Because I think there may be a difference. Not that I alone would know. All I do know is wherever there is nothing, there is love. And there is nothing everywhere. Even at the office, Mr M. Thanks but I thinks you might had read to much out of it...Six-O-Four, you say?

You're right Old Mole once more. And I'm pretty darn sure I am as well the same at some times. Yes, knew 'depression' would be a strong word. As far as emotions, and the control of the same, I say claim, don't blame. And wait the full feelings before you discern 'tween treasure or turd and ok, or needing some therapist's dealings. Whatever makes you happy soon will too pass, to our collective lament. It's our nature to suffer discontent:cool:

Nice rhyme Mr. Tyme. And yes, I fully agree, the start of it was maybe a weirdo. After all, does that not sound quite normal? Perfection though natural imperfection. To obtain the required obsession? Accepting the dare, becoming aware, is it a wonder we favor depression?

aye and aye Moleman, you know it's been suggested by some that all of mankind may have evolved originally from just such a creature as you probably know..... the more things change, the more things change and if that seems to go against any grain, well then who in a pinch can say who's to....

Haven't done this in a while.... couple songs I like despite myself... Need You Now - Lady Antebellum Here In the Real World - Alan Jackson
