I Was Made to Love Magic (Nick Drake) lyrics I was born to love no one No one to love me Only the wind in the long green grass The frost in a broken tree. I was made to love magic All its wonder to know But you all lost that magic Many many years […]

A programmer friend of mine wrote me a note the other day, lamenting that he tried to figure out how to solve a programming problem, but was having trouble because he just couldn’t “see” the solution like he used to be able to. He’s been working for over 20 years in more of a system […]

I’ve never understood Halloween. People use it as an excuse to dress strangely. Anything goes. Why just on one day? Why not any other day, if that’s how you want to dress? Today we went to the Art Center to enter a painting in an upcoming exhibit. Usually, I have very little interest in the […]

The first storm of the season is usually the one remembered the easiest. How true for our first storm of the “winter” that arrived on Oct 22. It was such a beautiful morning as the big clouds in the south were confronted with even bigger darker clouds from the north. I was busily shooting pictures […]

I am told that a bed I have slept in many times once belonged to Jean Lafitte. I never doubted that it was not. I like to feel that he and I now have something in common. It does seem that the dreams I have while sleeping upon this bed have always had a bit […]

I am a Mexican As such I was born Of this soul is my clan Even through death I can’t be torn For death is a friend of mine ~ ‘Mexican’ from me can not be washed Through time or water or dress Use me, hate me, vilify me and it can’t be crushed Being […]

(Created September 16, 2003) I’m not sure that I can put this in words. It’s a feeling. The first cool, smoky hint of dryness in the air. It’s the feeling of loneliness, a sadness one can not ignore when Summer’s hazes are mixed with just a hint of cool announcing Summer’s end. It’s an ache […]

Lyrics: Forever Young Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies Hoping for the best but expecting the worst Are you going to drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever We don’t have the power but we never say […]

My days go by and I wish for more Time better spent with work I enjoy But only the past seems to have the door Where I can peek through to see my ideal employ So today I’m blind and wander lost Barely seeing my nose in front of my face With many tomorrows I […]

I have this feeling there are things to be done Mountains to climb, races to run But I’m locked in this house, fog on the window panes And my body is wrapped in cellophane. I can not see the days going by Or break free no matter how hard I try My time is fleeting, […]

I am going on Ebay and sell a penny for two pennies. Then two for four and so on. With all the fools buying on Ebay it should take off. Or, I could go to work tomorrow. What a hard decision! Wish me luck. The greatest treasure is to live life, every day, no matter […]

Joy to Steve: Well, I should have said so earlier, but I couldn’t get online… I made it here just fine and have been busy cleaning up and helping Mama (she likes to complain about David not doing anything). David took over the room I was using since the laptop connects to the neighbor in […]
