From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2112_%28album%29:

Enjoy":
Hi Carol
I was going through some of my long over due e-mails and ran across this one that a friend sent thought you and some of our fellow Typhoons might like it. It brought back some good memories. Hope you enjoy some of them too. Catherine Slusser Hudson May be a repeat but who cares. Can play the music in the background while looking at emails or surfing web.

FINALLY:
From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 02/23/13: A guy pulled into a crowded parking lot and rolled down the car windows to make sure his dog had fresh air. The dog was stretched out in the back seat, and the guy wanted to impress upon him that he must remain there. The guy walked to the curb backward, pointing his finger at the car and saying emphatically, “Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay!” The driver of a nearby car gave the guy a startled look “I don’t know about you, man,” he said incredulously, “but I usually just put my car in park.” |

ecorded by Rush, 1976
All of the seasons
and all of the days
All of the reasons why I've felt this way
So long...
So long
Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes
I noticed emotion and that you had cried
For me
I can see
What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek
I tasted the answers and my body was weak
For you
The truth
What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
