There's a jazz station that broadcasts from Waterford, Ireland I listen to late at night occasionally. I was surprised to hear them play this old nugget but that's why I'm all over the dial when it comes to selecting what I listen to at any particular moment in time.
This one is just because. I hadn't heard it in a while, so why not? And there's more than a grain of truth in this one. Nobody knows you when you're down and out? - just ask the hurricane victims waiting for the government to help them out. Thanks be to heaven there are a lot of good people in this country picking up the slack.
Hard times are here for a lot of people this year, besides those suffering from the storms. Business closings, medical issues and just bad luck. You have my deepest sympathy. Hold your heads up high and as Merle sings it, "If you make it through December, everything's going to be all right, I know."
I'm thinking this one here's going to be my theme song going forward. I'm going to be 75 this coming year and I'm hoping I've got plenty of time left yet, but you never know. Other than the Hawaii trip, there aren't many things left on the bucket list. Mostly, just need to finish some projects and take care of myself so I can take care of the Missus. Looking forward to the coming years, regardless of what happens in our country or the world. As long as I keep waking up warm, I'll be fine.
