From the Desk of the Grand Dame, Emeritus

۞ Never put you hand on a man, except in dance

۞ Whispering and giggling at the same time have no place in good society

۞ Don't think you can be rude to anyone, and escape

۞ Whispering is always rude

۞ Don't hang on anyone for sport

۞ Never stand or walk with your chest held in,
and your hips forward in imitation of reverse letter "s".

- From House of the Blue Danube by Malcolm McLaren and the Bootzilla Orchestra

There is a Meadow in My Perfect World

There's a meadow in my perfect world Where wind dances the branches of a tree Casting leopard spots of light across the face of a pond The tree stands tall and grand and alone Shading the world beneath it. There will come a day when I rest against its spine. And look out over a valley where the sun warms, but never burns. I will watch leaves turn Green, then amber, then crimson Then no leaves at all. But the tree will not die. For in this place, winter never comes. It is here, in the cradle of all I hold dear, I guard every memory of you. And when I find myself frozen in the mud of the real far from your loving eyes, I will return to this place, close mine and take solace in the simple perfection of knowing you. - from Wind River featu ring Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then." My son turned ten just the other day. He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play. Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today, I got a lot to do." He said, "That's ok." And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed, Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him." And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man
