Ol' Blue Eyes

 With apologies to Paul Anka and the co-composers of "My Way", here are some alternative  lyrics I think Frank might not have objected to. 


   Regrets,
I've had a few,
A fling or two
                       I paid the price for,                       
The odd romance,
The crazy chance
I spun the wheel,
I rolled the dice for.



   What is a man?
 What's he to be? 
Is he some pawn
Of Destiny?
Or does he get
To choose his song,
To get it right
Or get it wrong.

In Case You Were Wondering...

 


I'm sharing with you today a new YouTube video by my internet friend Rick Lewis, a man of many talents -- photographer, artist, business and technical advisor and fitness coach, to name a few.  He is now producing a series of youTube fitness workouts, one of which features some quotes of mine that Rick has found personally motivating. 

While the title is certainly extravagant, and I would not have chosen it myself, Rick is a big, strong fellow and not a person to argue with.  I will manage somehow to live with it while retaining my humility.  (smile).

I will be adding this link to my sidebar.  Please do take a look when you have a moment.

To Care Or Not To Care

"Sometimes love needs a rest from caring and so endures for an intolerable few hours the guilt of not caring."


"If only you could stop caring, or if only you could go back in time and not start , which might be easier." 


"You can be a caring person and experience life as a series of joys and sorrows, or you can be an uncaring person and experience life as a string of annoyances."

Pot Shots At An Easy Target

"Say what you want about marriage, it's still the best known cure for unnecessary conversation."


Marriage:  a state of bliss in which if one partner dies unexpectedly, the other is the prime suspect.


Marriage: a relationship so intimate that your spouse can finish your sentences, although not usually the way you would.

Midweek Musing

 "Where shall I find my happiness today -- in my memories, in my dreams, in my appreciation of the moment?  That last one would be a novel idea."

Know Thyself

 "I've learned this about myself -- that beneath my carefree, superficial exterior lies a thoughtful inner spirit that just wants to party."

Thoughts From Our Resident Know-It-All

 "To know what makes another person tick is to have information they would give a lot to know."


"What those born to wealth invariably have more of than those who have earned their wealth is pride in the achievement."


"There is almost no advantage in life that people are not willing to risk totally rather than give up partially."


"It is always those who have already won the game who believe that it should now have rules."
