From
Butch Ragland ('63) of CO - 05/21/13 - "Prayers for You!":
Hi Carol, I wanted to drop a line to let you know you are still in our prayers! You haven't said a great deal about your health lately, but I suspect you are not totally up to par! Please take care of yourself and rest as much as possible! Remember that your Typhoon Family have a great deal of love for both you and Paul! God Bless You and Get Well Soon! Butch Ragland ![]() ![]()
You're
right, even by my own standards of "normal" (I am ever and always the
Wienius Maximus), I'm not there yet, but I think if I stayed in bed much
more than I'm doing, I'd be in serious danger of developing bed sores!
I went to a Women's Conference on Saturday, May 11 (and even led the music!), and went to church on Mother's Day (and led the music again!), and then of course had yet another relapse of this nonsense with the coughing, wheezing, and rattling of the chest. I think that was the last time I've been outside my front door. I mostly just lie in bed, watch old movies, sleep, read, crochet, cross stitch (if my eyes are not too rheumy to see what I'm doing), and occasionally meander into to office to do something productive. We're "posta" go to an outdoor wedding reception Friday night, and I had better be up to it! Now for the real point of interest, "How YOU doin'?!?" |

FINALLY: |
From www.ajokeaday.com - 05/21/13:
A young
and foolish pilot wanted to sound cool on the aviation
frequencies. This was his first time approaching a field
during the nighttime, so instead of making any official
requests to the tower, he said: "Guess who?" The controller switched the field lights off and replied: "Guess where?" |

Words and
Music
by
Jimmy Buffett,
1978
(b. 25 Dec 1946)
“I saw a picture of my grandfather after he had come back from a trip to Nova
Scotia. He was born there but left when he was a young man
and didn’t return until he was 84. He was standing on dock staring at an old
sailing schooner, and the look on his face told the story of where he
had come from and where he had been. I have always been very proud of my
heritage as a sailor and wrote this for the men who taught me the skills.”
- Jimmy
As the son of a son of a sailor
I went out on the sea for adventure
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin’ man
I have chalked up many a mile
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
And I’ve learned much from both of their styles
Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
Now away in the near future, southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the mango man
As he greets you at the border
And the lady she hails from Trinidad
Island of the spices
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet
And the rum is for all your good vices
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our
Forefathers harnessed before us
Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings
It’s a son of a gun of a chorus
Where it all ends I can’t fathom, my friends
If I knew, I might toss out my anchor
So I’ll cruise along always searchin’ for songs
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker
But a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I’m just a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
The sea’s in my veins, my tradition remains
I’m just glad I don’t live in a trailer
