Old

I remember when
I was young and gay
the world was a playground 
now the time is near
for thought and preparation
as we must leave 
and start a new.

Superb John

If only we could stay in the playground forever, but we grow up and life is serious and we have to deal with so much. Xena

Life

Thanks Xena for your comments, I've been so busy lately with yard work and things, I have not had much time to myself, it's about 6:30 A.M. now and kinda nice ,quiet except for the occasional siren in the distance, and the clock ticking on the wall. so stay warm and write me again, I will see what I can accomplish this morning. se ya later wife-y. love John.

Huh, typical husband...

Always too busy for your wife that, cooks, cleans and takes care of you. Be careful, I may divorce you John! Just `kidden`, you’re my overseas hubby and I forgive you. A wee hug and a kiss from bonny Scotland. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell
