SinceThe70s

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall todayWill the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear, yeah

As I'm checking on the bbq tonight I see a black bird with a huge wingspan flying towards my yard, flew over head and then the house and went on its way. Had a reddish head/beak and my immediate thought was turkey vulture because I had seen them years ago down in Virginia. Not sure what it was, wifey says hawk but we usually get red-tailed hawks which are much lighter in color. Regardless the type of bird, it was a cool 30 second fly by.

All my life I've been searching for somethingSomething never comes never leads to nothingNothing satisfies but I'm getting closeCloser to the prize at the end of the rope

He got hair down to his kneeGot to be a jokerHe just do what he please

I take my card and I stand in line To make a buck I work overtime "Dear Sir," letters keep coming in the mail I work my back till it's racked with pain The boss can't even recall my name I show up late and I'm docked It never fails I feel like just another Spoke in a great big wheel Like a tiny blade of grass In a great big field

I'm your captain, I'm your captainThough I'm feeling mighty sick

So I called up the Captain"Please bring me my wine"He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"

So take, take me home 'Cause I don't remember Take, take me home 'Cause I don't remember Take, take me home 'Cause I don't remember Take, take me home, oh lord Well I've been a prisoner all my life And I can say to you But I don't remember

And when you're looking for your freedomNobody seems to careAnd you can't find the doorCan't find it anywhereWhen there's nothing to believe in still you're coming backYou're running back, you're coming back for moreSo put me on a highway and show me a signAnd take it to the limit one more time

Stay!And help me to end the dayAnd if you don't mindWe'll break a bottle of wine

Baby come back, any kind of fool could seeThere was something in everything about youBaby come back, you can blame it all on meI was wrong, and I just can't live without you

That was the window in my life of the pirate cable box. You had to buy a new one every year or two but the PPV boxing events made it more than worth the cost.

Would Holyfield wear ear muffs? Tyson was the most exciting thing to happen to pro boxing since the days of Ali and his contemporaries. His demise in and out of the ring was shocking. His return was embarrassing. I'd watch if it were free, otherwise it's a hard pass for me.

Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, you're the best I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me It tried to hide from your love light But like heaven above me The spy who loved me Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight

Someday I'll find me a woman Who will love me and treat me real nice Where my road has got to go My love she will know from morning, noon Until the night And she's gotta say that it's alright Say it's alright It's alright, have a good time Cause it's alright

I couldn't identify most of the birds we get except for the distinctive ones even though I love watching them. One time years ago we had a hummingbird. Also had an oriole once about two years ago. More common ones I like are the cardinals and woodpeckers and we also get red-tailed hawks which are amazing to see on a low branch in the backyard. Unfortunately we had to take that tree down last year. At work a number of years ago my window was eye level with a lamp post and I watched a huge bird perched on it for awhile that I was told was a falcon. Another cool thing I saw last summer on the south shore of LI was a wild parrot colony. I was at my sons baseball game. Pretty cool at first and then annoying as hell. But for backyard birding, it would be hard to top what my buddy around the corner woke up to last year.

It's been a long year since you've been goneI've been alone here, I've grown oldFall to pieces, I'm fallingFell to pieces and I'm still fallingEvery time I'm falling downAll alone I fall to pieces

Oops, now I get it, fixed above.

Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen this posted yet. NFL rookie draft class passing the hat:

I always figured he was a bad mother

I would have given you all of my heart But there's someone who's torn it apart And he's taking just all that I had But if you want, I'll try to love again Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know The first cut is the deepest But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

Midnight at the oasisSend your camel to bedGot shadows painting our facesAnd traces of romance in our heads

Still looking for that blue jean, baby queenPrettiest girl I ever seenSee her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean(James Dean)

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

I'm not a hoops fan so I could not care less what the NBA does. But an NHL playoff tournament would be a welcome distraction for me.
