The Beach Boys - Surfer Girl


This goes out to a very special friend in oh-so chilly Chicago on her 19th birthday. I hope you have a wonderful day and that all your dreams come true. Lots of love. Big hug and a kiss!

Bringing the Mountain to Mohammed





A friend of mine reminded me today of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "The Great Stone Face."

For a fuller fleshing out of this New Hampshire landmark, including its eventual collapse, see the following Wikipedia article.

Sometimes, God is closer than we realize.

On a Wing and a Prayer


Believe It or Not

"Look at what's happening to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should have been somebody else.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me."

Joey Scarbury,
Theme Song to The Greatest American Hero, 1981
