I kinda like it, too. :-) Obviously, it pisses others off and brings out their agressive, threatened sides. Go figure. I think it's something associated with being in the cusp of a big birthday; things have been fired up for me for the last day or so, and the heat seems to keep increasing as I approach the Big 6-0. > I'm fired up, and inspired- > I've put some champagne on ice, and when my beloved returns home > in awhile, I will pop that cork, and we'll toast each other in the > sinking golden California light. Right on brother! Have a great > weekend You, too. I can think of no more holy or enlightened thing to do than share some champagne with the one you love and gaze at a beautiful sunset. Bruce Cockburn (my favorite songwriter/wordsmith) wrote a song about that once. His commentary on how the song came to him, followed by one of the verses: BC: But the song actually came from, out of a conversation with [fellow Canadian singer/songwriter] Sam Phillips, one point we were walking along, and it might even have been in Seattle and um, I was carrying this bag of stuff that I always carry around, this knapsack with whatever, you know, notebook, flashlight, toilet paper... JF/MW: ...the essentials.. BC: ...rope, Power Bars, all that stuff [laughing] and uh, we were walking up some hill somewhere and she is going: What do you carry in that thing anyway? And I said: Oh, it's everything I need for the Apocalypse! And, and, Sam just stopped and looked at me and said: What do you need for the Apocalypse besides champagne and a couple of glasses? And I [thought] man, that's a song you know, there's a song in there for sure! It took me a few years to figure out what it was but that's what really triggered the sentiment in Last Night of the World. I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all That was the straw that broke me open If this were the last night of the world What would I do? What would I do that was different Unless it was champagne with you? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Ever feel sad or cry for no reason at all? Depression.
