 May your neighbours respect you,
Your trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint
Patrick behold you.

Here’s to you and yours,
And to mine and ours,
And if mine and ours ever come
Across you and yours,

I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours,
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Best Of Luck To You And Yours

"Lyrics"
Miranda works the late night counter
In a joint called Betty’s Diner
Chrome and checkered tablecloths
One steamy windowpane
She got the job that shaky fall
And after hours she’ll write till dawn
With a nod and smile she serves them all

Ch: Here we are all in one place
The wants and wounds of the human race
Despair and hope sit face to face
When you come in from the cold
Let her fill your cup with something kind
Eggs and toast like bread and wine
She’s heard it all so she don’t mind

Arthur lets his earl grey steep
Since April it’s been hard to sleep
You know they tried most everything
Yet it took her in the end
Kevin tests new saxophones
But swears he’s leaving quality control
For the Chicago scene, or New Orleans
Where they still play righteous horns

Ch: Here we are all in one place
The wants and wounds of the human race
Despair and hope sit face to face
When you come in from the cold
Let her fill your cup with something kind
Eggs and toast like bread and wine
She’s heard it all so she don’t mind

Jack studies here after work
To get past high school he’s the first
And his large hands seem just as comfortable
With a hammer or a pen
Emma leaned and kissed his cheek
And when she did his knees got weak
Miranda smiles at Em and winks

Ch: Here we are all in one place
The wants and wounds of the human race
Despair and hope sit face to face
When you come in from the cold
Let her fill your cup with something kind
Eggs and toast like bread and wine
She’s heard it all so she don’t mind

You never know who’ll be your witness
You never know who grants forgiveness
Look to heaven or sit with us

Diedra bites her lip and frowns
She works the Stop and Go downtown
She’s pretty good at the crossword page
She paints her eyes blue black
Tristan comes along sometimes
Small for his age and barely five
But she loves him like a mamma lion

Veda used to drink a lot
Almost lost it all before she stopped
Comes in at night with her friend Mike
Who runs the crisis line
Michael toured Saigon and back
Hair the color of smoke and ash
Heads are bowed and hands are clasped
One more storm has passed

Ch: Here we are all in one place
The wants and wounds of the human race
Despair and hope sit face to face
When you come in from the cold
Let her fill your cup with something kind
Eggs and toast like bread and wine
She’s heard it all so she don’t mind

As for me I'm waiting for the new and improved version 1.6

When we are no longer able to change a situation,
we are challenged to change ourselves.

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing,
But Only Friends Keep You Going!

A book I'm currently Reading and really enjoying, Sam Cayhall on death row, Adam Hall lawyer and Sam's Grand son.

Twenty -six-year-old Adam Hall stands on the brink of a brilliant legal career. Now he is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case.

Maximum Security Unit, Mississippi State Prison:

Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist now facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. He has run out of chances — except for one: the young, liberal Chicago lawyer who just happens to be his grandson.

While the executioners prepare the gas chamber, while the protesters gather and the TV cameras wait, Adam has only days, hours, minutes to save his client. For between the two men is a chasm of shame, family lies, and secrets — including the one secret that could save Sam Cayhall’s life… or cost Adam his.

Nothing changes the environment like one person

deciding to love another, no matter what.

C.S. Lewis said that, and it is an enormous insight. If

we think that miracles are normal, we will expect them.

And expecting a miracle is the surest way to get one.

New Addition

Now that things are back to normal thought I would give you a quick update, I have a new laptop computer, Linda had her eyes on my net book so I caved, and gave in, she is now the proud owner. As for me I upgraded to a little bigger machine, a Dell Vostro 3400, a 14 inch screen more memory and bigger hard drive and much faster. Yet still lite weight enough for easy handling. I included a picture below.

What a grand day! What a time for celebration! We
begin again today! We turn the page! And so, let go
of all that you do not wish to carry with you any further.
Any fear, any sadness, any anger, any resentment, any
disappointment, any lament...let it all go. And now,
using the specialness of this day as a springboard,
let's get on with Life!
