Dog Daze x Two (an aerial meditation)

Up all night with a

Dog Day Afternoon rerun

On the return flight.

How did time slow down?

43 years and counting

Gay marriage with guns...

What goes (went) around

Comes (came) around yet again

Love & death spiral

Columbine / Stonewall

Obergefell v Hodges,

Sandy Hook / Pilchuck

2nd Amendment and

14th Amendment - a match

made in heaven / hell

Out of the closet:

open carry and open lifestyle

Pandora's kitchen

There's a drone above

taking snaps of my wedding,

Profiling me and mine

Either goes viral

or blown to oblivion...

Depends on your friends

Sonny wanted love,

Knocked at (off) the local bank,

Came out Al Pacino

Attica and Finch

Chase Manhattan versus Crown Heights

Power to the People?

Thus Leon got his

sex change; Sonny got 5 years

and a book deal;

Sal got eternity.

So who says crime doesn't pay?

Not the 1%.

Nothing at all special?! Are

A twelve year old Missy wrote this, and shortly thereafter gave it a tune. That's likely the only reason I remember it, since the paper it was written on is long since gone. The only person I've shared it with in my adult life is stillidealistic - because of her eldest granddaughter - and that was many years ago. It's nothing at all special, but I'd like to put it here, Mr. Smith, for you. Just because.

When I was just a little girl,

I'd lose myself in dreams -

Of fairy tales and mystic kings,

Of golden, flowing streams.

I'd dream myself a princess,

I'd make her beauty mine -

With riches, furs and treasures,

Never paled by time.

Then when I was older,

Reality came around-

I lost my dreams and fairy tales,

Put my feet back on the ground.

With mystic kings forgotten,

With riches never known -

I felt so sad to see it end,

All because I'd grown.

Now I am a lady,

With problems to set right -

But I let myself drift back in time,

When I'm alone at night.

The fairy tales are real once more,

My golden streams return -

Again a child lost in dreams,

Will I ever learn?

Explain to me what is so wrong,

To dream once in awhile -

To wish for joy in wonderland,

And leave there with a smile.

Thanks for keepin' on, Mr.

I stand corrected. Lee Marvin had a show "M Squad" from 1957-60. Pall Mall was the major advertiser of this show. He did the commercials during the show.

There is no date for this. I

There is no date for this. I think it was a Lee Marvin Radio ad.
