Not A Key West Intermezzo, But Close.
Going to see John Mellencamp next Saturday...get off the air at 2, go down and pick up traffic chick Nancy at the Indy airport, and then going to the show. Free tickets....now I remember why I like this job.
Happy Father's Day tomorrow, to all the dads out there....Ah...if only i WAS up from Indiana down to Tennessee...I could use a zerbet or two.....
Without further ado, here's your Little Bastard for The Day.....(with apologies to JQP--consider it tribute, not plagiarism.)
Peaceful World
(John Mellencamp)
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is as cool as can be
In a peaceful world
People know this world is a wreck
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
If I see through it now but I didn't at first
The hypocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin' down their noses at what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Racism lives in the U.S. today
Better get hip to what Martin Luther King had to say
I don't want my kids being brought up this way
Hatred to each other is not okay
Well I'm not a preacher just a singer son
But I can see more work to be done
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
The money's good and the work is okay
Looks like everything is rollin our way
"Til you gotta look the devil in the eye
You know that bastard's one big lie
So be careful with your heart and what you love
Make sure that it was sent from above
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah

mkaes me sad to think of you being unable to be by your nubbins on father's day. rest well and know love despite distance. send a card or letter or email. anything to improve the gap. you are a good daddy.
Why thank you, Gentle Reader. Know that Father's Day did not go by without a touch of sadness, but it was filled as well by joy brought on by not one, but TWO long-distance conversations--including one instigated fully by my sometimes telephone-shy youngest daughter.
I know in my heart that if I am a success in anything, it is as a daddy....but your kind words are much appreciated nonetheless.
