my webpages@yahoo.com channel at
http://www.youtube.com/user/webpages2020?feature=watch Here's a contra dance video that I made at the Watermen's Museum, Yorktown on September 29, 2012: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljhhg4ODOxk We had a great time dancing on the waterfront. As we danced we observed a fireworks display along the Gloucester County York River waterfront. First glance might make you think this is an UFO, but it's real, not from out of this world, and was part of NASA Langley's 95th Anniversary open house: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRiRVx7HXZk&feature=plcp Remember the scene in "It's a Wonderful Life" in which George tells Mary that he will lasso the moon for her.

Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.

I was looking for a really creamy macaroni and cheese recipe and this is it! I changed the recipe a bit by omitting the eggs (the original recipe calls for three), and by boiling the macaroni for six minutes instead of seven, so it doesn't get mushy while cooking in the Crockpot. I also shortened the cooking time from three to two-and-a-half hours. Perfection!" http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/velveeta-ultimate-macaroni-cheese-52089.aspx - Velveeta Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese - "Cheesy and easy, this homemade stove top macaroni and cheese is a big hit with kids." |

FINALLY: |
HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF
INSANITY AND DRIVE OTHER PEOPLE INSANE Submitted by Jonalee Echols from Bullard Texas. 1. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice. 2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. This is especially effective if your boss is the opposite gender. 3. Put mosquito netting around your cubicle. 4. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that. 5. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN." 6. When driving colleagues around, insist on keeping your car's windshield wipers running during all weather conditions to keep 'em tuned up. 7. Reply to everything someone says with, "That's what you think." 8. Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers, then cc them to your boss. 9. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy." 10. At lunchtime, sit in your parked car and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down. 11. Specify that your drive-thru order is "to go." 12. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme. |

Written and recorded by
Bruce Springsteen, 1973
(b. 23 Sept 1949)
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe
outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a
ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of
romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,

the calliope crashed to the ground
Now Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in
the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot,
turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"
