Song of the week

Blast from my past, "Take Me Home" by Phil Collins.

Yup, that's right, in high school I listened to a lot of Phil Collins.  This one has always one of my favorites.  Thinking of adding it to my "final playlist."

Told Katy no eulogies for me.  After they cram me in the coffee can (no urn necessary), I want a few songs played.  Before today, I only had a list of two:

1.  Sadness and Sorrow from Naruto, played by Katy herself on the piano, which so far she refuses to do.

2.  "Nothingman" by Pearl Jam.  Pretty much sums it up for me.

Guess I could add this one to end on a more hopeful note.  Eh, time will tell.

Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point mistaking
I don't worry anymore
I can come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off the light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home 'cause I've been a prisoner all my life

And I can say to you

Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

But I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home

Days 4 to 7

Sinusitis with fever.  Wearing my bane respro mask to contain my cough.  I like it.

"No one cared who I was until I put on the mask."

"If I take that off, will you die?"

"It would be extremely painful."

"You're a big guy."

".....for you....."

Gotta love the Irish

Perhaps we can move there sooner rather than later

Irish letters to Trump

Nobody showed

There will probably be more protestors this weekend than those that attended his inauguration.

Not surprising, really.

Day 3

Ouch.

Day 2 - road hills

2.2 miler around the neighborhood, 2 loops.

Minimalism and data

Yes, Claws Mail.  I am sure.  Delete the last 13 years of emails from the server......

So, I did use Google Takeout to back everything up before leaving.   But now, it's just a few .zip files on my backup drive.

Scotland it is

Scottish TV listing of Trump inauguration

Awesome!  If they leave Great Britain I will move there.

Off the couch.....

2 mile trail run behind the house

Yup, laughing stock

As expected.  One week, one day left to live, so live it up!

Awesome!

From 2013, but sooooooo much better now:
