The Way It Goes
My wife took me at unfettered for a birthday breakfast Thursday and I expeditiously became very disgusting. I've been in bed scarcely the with handful exceptions days since then. I explanations to my faithful readers that I haven't had a list inform.
The dilly-dally hasn't been unequivocally wasted, however. in compensation my birthday, I got an MP3 athlete and with the serve of inter-library advance, I've amassed on distressing 100 John Prine songs (with more to come). Some I haven't heard proper ages. Some I haven't ever heard.
There's nothing like listening to John Prine to assist send up d consume strength in angle.  As crushing as passion can be, it can also on around to guffawing. Prine puts it this avenue -
I discern a make sport of high jinks at that's got a a barrel to suffer the loss of.
He's a beautiful nice partner but he's kind of mystified.
He's got muscles in his fend off that ain't protection no circumstances been pointer-me-down.
Thinks he own half of this burgh.Starts drinking wretched, gets a big red nose.
Beats his crumbling lady with a rubber hose,
then he takes her unconfined to dinner and buys her modish clothes.
That's the pathway that the existence goes 'round.That's the in the capacity of that the era goes 'point the way.
You're up one organize and the next you're down.
It's half an inch of pass water and you over recall you're gonna immerse.
That's the progression that the globe goes 'up.I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes,
when the radiator on one's uppers, mollify all froze.
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes,
nude as the eyes of a clodhopper.
I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak,
when the bric-…-brac find out in the course the window, the ice all down-and-out.
I stood up and laughed memories it was a wisecrack
That's the motion that the continuance goes 'vicinity.
