Dear Beverly

Dropped in to say hello.

             You remembered me.

Always.

Struggles with demons, how does that work?
Are there exits through kindness, caring and understanding?
Are these acts of love and friendship a waste of time?

I would like to think that the positive can help.
Negative reinforcement makes it worse?
Does that how it works?

Like you would say "oh wells" ... the demons still come.

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.


Link:  Garth Brooks: The Dance

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Trick or treat!

Just stopped in to say trick or treat, it’s Halloween!

        Boo!  Gotcha Doll!   You remembered me!

Always.

You got all dressed up for a Halloween party in 2008 at your friend’s house.

You could be such a goof.  

Were you the good witch or the bad witch?

        Smile.

The moon will be bright tonight … perhaps a silver moon!   

Here’s a tune for you to celebrate that!      

Link:   Michael Nesmith: Silver Moon

See the lazy windmills slowly turning
Cutting up the marble canyons of the sky
See the dust around my feet go churning
Moving with the winds down the highways
Of goodbyes

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
With the unexpected destination of my home

Half the thoughts I'm thinking speak in sighs
As that same old wave of lonliness returns
And I can see you when I close my eyes
Speaking very softly as you turned

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
With the unexpected destination of my home

Now I must go
Go and let go

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
With the unexpected destination of my home

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

You are in my heart and on my mind all of the time.

I love you … always have … always will.

          Oh Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

Sunflowers are just like you.

Happy … they seem to smile.

They are always bright, even on the darkness days.

Beverly, that’s you.

Your smile could light the world.

It is so sad that the world is so much darker these days.

We all need your smile.

We all need sunflowers on dark and stormy days.

Remember.  Remember this always.

You are loved.  You were never alone.

And as long as my heart beats you will not be forgotten.

Fun tune for you today … rock out; enjoy.

Link:   Abba: Waterloo

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose -

Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

Dear Beverly

You've been in my heart and on my mind ... so I thought I would stop by to say hello.

          Mi Amor.   You remembered me.

Always.

SWEEP!

What a day for San Diego sport franchises.
The Padres got rid of Bochy in favor of Bud Black ... we can all see how that worked out.
The Charges got rid of Drew Brees in favor of Philip Rivers ... the mighty Cleveland Browns (1-6 coming into yesterday's game) smoked him 7-6.   Philip "can't move the ball" Rivers.  

          Sorry babe ... glad for the Giants, but I still love my boys in blue!

Have a tune for you today ... in so many ways it says it all.  So sad, how many times did you listen to this one?   "Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door."
And then the phone call:  Just wanted to hear your voice one more time.
I just can't get it out of my mind.   As you would say, "oh wells."   Here's your tune.

Link:   Lady Antebellum: Need You Now


Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

woah woaaah.

Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all

It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now

And I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without

I just need you now

I just need you now (wait)

Ooo, baby, I need you now

Dear Beverly

Stopped in to say hello.

          That's sweet.   You remembered me.

Always

Those Nasty Giants have gone up three - zip over the Tigers.
The 2012 World Series could end today.
If it doesn't rain (or snow).

Just wanted to say how wonderful you are.
A list:
Kind.
Gentle.
Sweet.
Loving.
Funny.

How anyone could have been so incredibly MEAN (your word) to you is beyond me.
I don't get it.  I honestly don't get it.

Have a tune for you today … enjoy.

Link:  Desert Rose Band: One Step Forward 

You held me up held me down
Made me crazy then you brought me around
Were my darkness and my light
You were my blindness and my sight
Were my shelter and my storm
Made my cold then you made me warm
You were my fever and my cure
Made me doubt and you made me sure

One step forward and two step back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

You were my hope and my fear
You were my laughter and my tears
Were my destiny and my faith
Kept me moving and you made me wait
Were my weakness and my power
You were the thorn in the flower
You were my sunshine and the rain
Made me feel so good brought so much pain

One step forward and two step back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

And we never really meant for each other
We were never really meant to last
In the years that we danced together
Each step forward we took two steps back
Each step forward we took two steps back

One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say hello.

           Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always

Nasty Giants up two-zip over the Tigers.
Shift to Detroit for three games starting today.
Problem ... weather front approaching and it is damn cold.
Too late in October to be playing baseball ... what were they thinking.

Have a tune for you ... country, your favorite genre next to good old rock 'n' roll.
Enjoy ...

Link:  Hunter Hayes: Wanted

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
It makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
So put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too

I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah I, wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the makeup
And I wanna show you what I see tonight

When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause Baby I, wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
and I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold you hand forever
And Never let you forget it
Yeah I, wanna make you feel wanted
Baby I, wanna make you feel wanted
'Cause you'll always be wanted

Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say that you are in my heart and on my mind.

           Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

Went to the supermarket yesterday to get the fixings for dinner.   Saw a little girl (maybe six) shopping with her father.   She was holding his hand and chatting away.

I thought of you and what it must have been like to be six again and with your father. 

Holding his hand.  Loved.  Protected. 

A kind and gentle man by all accounts.

I try to go there … to a place in time and space where dreams still live.

Have a tune for you today … enjoy.

Link:   Taylor Swift: Begin Again 

Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song
But I do, I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wave
I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block, to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I want to talk about that
And for the first time
What's past is past

And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
