Irrational joy breaks out across a country that is really pretty big, as the Arrogant Worms sing, all things considered.
This is simply the most beautiful Canadian spring I've ever seen, and I'm not young.
I'll probably have to eat my words about the weather in a week or so, this being Canada. And we are facing some horrible moral challenges in the hints and leaks we're getting about our special ops (JTF2) transfer of Afghan prisoners to the U.S. black sites at Bagram and Kandahar.
I don't know how we calm our souls with argument when we know that such horrible things have been done in our name.
So that's why we play music, and why we wander out into the sunshine with an aging cat who needs a last chance to feel and smell the grass and soil beneath her feet.
Happy spring to you all.
George Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun"
Well, our spring is not the best yet but it does seem around the corner.
But lovely choice of song, skdadl. I totally love George Harrison and have always found his songs to be uplifting.
That sudden smile at the beginning, when the audience reacts to the first chords, is so affecting, isn't it? They all had their talents, but George turned out special.
There's some damn bird making noise outside my office window. What the hell does he think is going on here?
That's my carrier pigeon, pogge. You're supposed to read the note in the little capsule he has affixed about his neck.
George was always my favourite :)
Minnie got walkies! Yay! (and there was much rejoicing)
I was going to take Tildie out on the leash today, but I got ... um, distracted, and then the sun went away. So we'll try again tomorrow.
I feel so grateful.
