Autumn leaves
Hurtling in wind
No snail pace

A kid who was a bit precocious, it was my benefactor who helped me envision a better view of my circumstances. To be honest, when my parents passed away, I was a novice at taking care of myself, especially with finances. He made me grin even through the worst of it. Iām grateful such helpful people exist.

Are you as tired as I am trying to find something new worth watching at home? I am going back to series I enjoyed to rewatch and āEndeavourā is on the list. Initially I saw this on PBS and now it is available on Amazon. As always, I recommend starting with Season one, episode one, to see the characters develop.

Baker Street
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You’ll drink the night away
And forget about ev’rythingThis city desert makes you feel so cold
It’s got so many people, but it’s got no soul
And it’s taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everythingYou used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now
Another year and then you’d be happy
Just one more year and then you’d be happy
But you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ nowWay down the street there’s a light in his place
He opens the door, he’s got that look on his face
And he asks you where you’ve been
You tell him who you’ve seen
And you talk about anythingHe’s got this dream about buying some land
He’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he’ll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev’rythingBut you know he’ll always keep movin’
You know he’s never gonna stop movin’
‘Cause he’s rollin’, he’s the rolling stone
When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’
The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’
You’re goin’, you’re goin’ homeSource: MusixmatchSongwriters: Gerry RaffertyBaker Street lyrics Ā© Stage Three Music (catalogues) Limited

Fandangoās Who Won the Week
For me it is Senator Durbin and his closing statement on 10/27/21 defending AG Garland after he was rudely grilled by repetitive questions. These overbearing congressmen and women are out of control in these circumstances. Instead of asking one question and waiting for an answer, they berate and speechify their opinions and rhetoric for the camera. There is no expected decorum in these sessions accomplishing anything, it is just the actions of a three year old playground.

Better Safe Than Sorry
Thought I better not procrastinate
And make some warming apple cider
A Halloween delight, having then decided
To give no spooky treat for tiny goblins hiding
And abet unfriendly tricks that might be biding.

āBookāem, Dannoāwas my first thought when seeing the prompt and that shows how my morningās going. I woke up dreaming of the past which is usually never good because it leads to depressing thoughts of the old woulda coulda shoulda syndrome. You know the one, reliving something stupid you said or did. We all have them, at least I think we all do, well with the exception of Trump. SurpriseāIām leaving it there, for a while, till after coffee.
Iām not a fan of getting up in the dark and itās cold. Iād much rather be blinded at five am with sunshine. Even a child running in the room and jumping on the bed with a Halloween boo would be preferableš.
