Love Is

 

An Every Second Thing,

It’s what makes our moments superb,

Though I don’t often profess my love,

It’s most definitely my favourite verb.

Gold In The Shadow

William Fitzsimmons.

These songs sound so close.  Like William is sing and playing perched on a chair inside my head.  I think it’s a mixture of the guitar and vocal melodies, the knowing, comfortable lyrics, the way his vocal has been recorded and the fact that I’m listening to this through headphones.

I like it.

Not everyone is welcome to sing inside my head.  Fitzsimmons, you are most welcome.

If I Could Go Back To Any Age

And do it all again

With all that I know now…

I’d go back and be fifteen years old.

And the only thing I’d do differently is tell fear to go jump.

That would have changed everything.

I’m Lonely As A Memory…

…despite the gathering round the fire.

I’m enjoying Lisa’s lilting warmth on this snowy afternoon in London.

The First Lady

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked
Michelle, why was he so interested in talking to you. She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant”, to which Michelle responded, “no, if I had married him, he would now be the President.”

You Just Can’t Smile It Away

I’m definitely one of those people who can’t just smile it away.

My face tends to speak louder than my words.

Sometimes this is intentional.  Sometimes it isn’t.

The Basic Human Problem…

…is that everyone believes that there is a God and I am it.
