All My Life's A Circle
Harry Chapin sings CIRCLE Live
EMBEDABLE!! http://www.youtube.com/group/harrychapinfans "All my life's a circle; Sunrise and sundown; Moon rolls thru the nighttime; Till the daybreak comes around. All my life's a circle; But I can't tell you why; Season's spinning round again; The years keep rollin' by. It seems like I've been here before; I can't remember when; But I have this funny feeling; That we'll all be together again. No straight lines make up my life; And all my roads have bends; There's no clear-cut beginnings; And so far no dead-ends. Chorus: I found you a thousand times; I guess you done the same; But then we lose each other; It's like a children's game; As I find you here again; A thought runs through my mind; Our love is like a circle; Let's go 'round one more time." Chorus Harry Chapin sings CIRCLE. Hamilton Ontario in 1981. His last year. I'm workin on improvin the quality....can't do much about the budgies, tho....

- I've been thinking of taking a train to come to the Tate Family reunion, after reviewing a great lens about it this morning.
I also was thinking about coming back to this lens when I saw it in MiMi's Squidoo Lens Review.
Just love these meaningful coincidences!!--events that coincide meaningfully?
Also just connected with Jim's first cousin on FB--Howard. Like a true idiot--I try not to use those sorts of words when describing myself--I sort of invited him to the Tate family reunion.
But no real damage done, really--He of all people will understand that he is not invited!!!! ROTFL!!!!!
A delightful man!
