Whenever I hear the word drive this song comes to mind. Tracy Chapman has a unique voice and her words. . .

ODP: Tangle
“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”.
Funny, it doesn’t seem to bother Donald Trump.

The upcoming journey to the school of his choice would be five hours away by car. Steering himself into a career in astrophysics would be a hefty challenge, but as a university freshman, his dream was alive.

That burnsides bush is a blemish on your lawn! Since my property aligns with yours, I implore you to remove that eyesore immediately! I’m sure the Society of Laughable Lawns would be happy to visit you with a copy of the neighborhood rules.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback 6-11-17
“Chess, anyone?” The old man settled in to the leather chair on the clear chess piece side of the table. This was his usual Sunday afternoon activity and there was always some youngster under seventy willing to accept his challenge.
The ancient library was filled with well read English tomes of adventure. The building also housed rooms of entertainment similar to this one with assorted tables occupied by various chess sets, all unique in their appearance. The old man preferred the clear glass set with forms he could easily grasp and identify.
He reached out to find them all in order, his touch accommodating his failing eyesight. In a few minutes a companion joined the table as his opponent. “Good day, Joseph” and the younger man took his seat. “I see you have chosen your favorite, the crystal.”
Joseph smiled and gave a reply. “Good to see you again, Harold. How’s the family?” The opponent pushed forward his pawn and the old man reciprocated with his own piece.
“Oh, brilliant as ever! The grandson is entering university in Autumn.”
The habitual conversation continued as the two men played their familiar game. An ordinary experience on a Sunday afternoon in Liverpool.

Gotta love Jack
Ramble
Sitting here in a cool apartment while the temps outside are a sunny 80F, I am contemplating writing something. Not just anything but something good. My mind seems to think I can but my ideas come in muddled bunches, not clear to put down in words. I’m feeling better, on the mend so to speak, and slowly getting paperwork accomplished. Guilt hovers as I can feel the clutter assembled in the still cardboard boxed memories in my living room. Only the necessary accomplished today, maybe tomorrow?

Are we even capable of being her caretaker?
Or do we take for granted that it will be lasting?

Lessons
“Scratch that piece, it’s too slow, and the one about bees? Too fast! You’re just not getting it, I want andante!”
Four year old Janie sheepishly tried achieving the instructor’s request, but her mind was wandering. She had seen her brothers outside the window of the music room, where they were busy chasing butterflies.
