Will work for money..

Is the economy really,truly,and fundamentally depressed?,..or does the current state of affairs ultimately boil down to perception?
I mean,..seriously.

How many generations of humanity passed,convinced that if you sailed far enough,you'd fall ass-over-teakettle off the edge of the Earth,before someone decided to test that theory,and venture beyond the horizon?

I only ask because it occurs to me that there is money floating about,eagerly awaiting opportunities to be spent,and a fairly stable population of humanoids perfectly willing to put their nose to the wheel,and grind out their daily bread.

The one major obstacle appears to be the universal consensus that,'Times are hard!'..
They must be!
After all,..everybody says so..

When I think about it,..really think about it in my most sober moments of clarity divined from nearly 55 years of going up and down upon the Earth,and walking to-and-fro' in it,I sincerely believe that there is much to be accomplished if I put my doubts aside,and followed the sage advice of persons more learned than myself.

..'Cast your bread upon the waters,and it will be returned to you ten-fold'..

Today,..I'm going to spend a buck or two.

'Sweet Baby James'

Don't you know?..You can't go home again.

There's a place in my heart,and in my head,that I have some small difficulty trying to nail down.
I mean,I've been there,and have the very real sense of the sights,and sounds,and smells,as clearly as if I had only turned to bid them adieu this very morning.

I can feel the weight of the comforting cloak of belonging draped across my shoulders,bask in the warmth of the afternoon sun,and take a moment's pleasure in the cautious scent of Jasmine wafting on the gentle breeze.

Still,..even now,..it would be fruitless to try and point to some particular latitude and longitude on one of those giant fold out maps you find in the 'Special Edition' of National Geographic, and declare with certainty,..'There!..It's right there!!'..

Mostly,..I just want to go home.



'Carolina in my mind'

Four Glorious Days!..

I look forward to this shit all year long boys and girls!
We went into "Holiday Mode" at work starting on Monday.
From now,'till New Years,we'll be keepin' it casual.
This,Per Mr. K.
"I don't want you guys working too hard!..Let's all take time to enjoy the holidays!"..
Okay,..we are bound to have some last minute,gotta have it in time for Christmas,bust yer ass for a few hours and take care of this so we can make a buck,tasks to perform...Still,The K's are all about family,and that includes the people that work for them.
For the next four days,I'll be basking in the glory of being scandalously lazy,and irretrievably worthless...Yeah,..it's like that.

One thing I will do however,is continue to bring you the kind of music that makes you go,"Does Sling have any idea that this is the 21st century?"...

...and to that I say,.."Well,..if yer gonna sing the blues..."



"Steamroller"

I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
May you be showered by the genial love of friends and family,and prosper in your chosen endeavors.
A blessing on all your houses!..
