This is not how I am

 

The first part of the song is so spot-on like the original that I wondered what the point was. Then came the quitar solo…

I felt like such a grown-up when I learned cursive writing in the third grade!

Beautiful

 

 

It was pointed out to me once that every time Jesus healed someone he was on his way to someplace else.

He'd be walking down the road and hear someone cry out for him, and he would stop to help them every time.  Not once did he say, "Sorry, man, I'm running late."

That's a trait worth emulating.

The Whole Universe

 

"Mr. Natural" is a creation of artist Robert Cumb.

Carpe Diem

 

(clicking imbiggens)

I have a brittle, fading, yellowed copy of this hanging on my wall that I clipped out of the newspaper many, many years ago.

It's probably my favorite comic strip of all time.

You Don't Need a Weatherman

 

(clicking imbiggens)

I've lived all over the country, and I've never seen any place work themselves into a panic over the weather the way East Texas does.

Every time it sprinkles the weatherman interrupt programming.  It's annoying and it's dangerous; like the little boy who cried wolf, the day will come when there really is a danger but nobody will believe them.

Acceptance

It's rare to find a song about accepting a situation.

Usually a song is about action: finding someone new, getting good and drunk, winning the girl back.

I guess it's hard to write a song about something passive.

Right now...

“I’m fuckin’ lucky. I don’t know if I have two weeks left of life or 10 years, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is what you do with the time. If you sit there on your butt and worry about dying, then you fucking wasted it. I haven’t been wasting it. I’m having a really good time, and feeling wonderfully about it. Sooner or later, something is going to break. Right now, my life is pretty great.” ~David Crosby to Rolling Stone, 2021 (source)

Croz

 

“Ask Croz” was David Crosby at his most charming. The series was equal parts funny and touching.
