(United States)About me
| Presentation | Retired MSgt, USAF, living the high life on the ever-changing "Emerald Coast" of NW Florida (Ft Walton Beach). Father of 7, grandfather of 2 and, being from NYC originally, a diehard NY Yankees fan. Yanks in '07? It remains to be seen. But now the "Rocket" is coming back!! Picture above is of Shannon, during our trip to Atlanta. Half-Korean, half-Irish, and half-my-age. Cutie pie, ain't she??? ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++ "What happens in Mossy Head STAYS in Mossy Head"! -- new t-shirt going around in NW Florida. It has a goat on it holding a finger up to it's lips in a "shushhhh" gesture. Take a guess why. Seems a goat turned up dead a few months ago, fornicated to death by a human. They got DNA and arrested the goat-lover, but then screwed it up and had to let him go, no charges, now or ever. Friggin' hillbillies. "I want to dance. I want to win. I want that trophy, so dance goat." -- Uma Thurmond in Pulp Fiction "Nobody puts (my favorite goat) Baby in a corner." - Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ "I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house." -Zsa Zsa Gabor- ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ HIGH FLIGHT Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew - And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God. Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee Jr. (19 years old) No 412 squadron, RCAF Killed 11 December 1941 High Flight was composed by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr., an American serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was born in Shanghai, China in 1922, the son of missionary parents, Reverend and Mrs. John Gillespie Magee; his father was an American and his mother was originally a British citizen. He came to the U.S. in 1939 and earned a scholarship to Yale, but in September 1940 he enlisted in the RCAF and was graduated as a pilot. He was sent to England for combat duty in July 1941. In August or September 1941, Pilot Officer Magee composed High Flight and sent a copy to his parents. Several months later, on December 11, 1941 his Spitfire collided with another plane over England and Magee, only 19 years of age, crashed to his death. His remains are buried in the churchyard cemetery at Scopwick, Lincolnshire ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ 'When you get to a fork in the road, take it.' 'I usually take a two hour nap from 1 to 4.' 'If I didn't wake up I'd still be sleeping.' 'If they don't want to come, you can't stop them.' 'Ninety percent of this game is half mental.' -- Yogi Berra 'Families is where our nation takes hope, where wings take dream.' 'Poor people aren't necessarily killers.' 'Ticket counters and airplanes will fly out of Ronald Reagan airport!' 'I am shocked to discover that over 90% of our imports come from outside America!'. -- Pres. Bush Hmmmm.......The similarities are eerie! I am fiercely patriotic and 100% conservative Republican, but sometimes the Prez is just too funny. When asked his opinion on Roe V. Wade, President Bush is said to have replied, "I don't care how people get out of New Orleans." ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Bet you didn't know that the official name of the Statue of Liberty is 'Liberty Enlightening the World'. ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ REJECTED CHILDREN'S BOOK TITLES 1.

Grandpa Went To Hell ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ I leave you with the lyrics to a really pretty song by Elvis Costello, "She", from the movie "Notting Hill" with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. Take one guess who my particular "She" is?!? (It's equally applicable to Shannon .......or Poker!!) SHE She May be the face I can’t forget A trace of pleasure or regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay She may be the song that summer sings May be the chill that autumn brings May be a hundred different things Within the measure of a day. She May be the beauty or the beast May be the famine or the feast May turn each day into a heaven or a hell She may be the mirror of my dreams A smile reflected in a stream She may not be what she may seem Inside her shell She who always seems so happy in a crowd Whose eyes can be so private and so proud No one’s allowed to see them when they cry She may be the love that cannot hope to last May come to me from shadows of the past That I’ll remember till the day I die She May be the reason I survive The why and wherefore I’m alive The one I’ll care for through the rough and ready years Me I’ll take her laughter and her tears And make them all my souvenirs For where she goes I’ve got to be The meaning of my life is She, she, she |
