Five Hundred Songs - Whew!

Well, I've been put to shame. I've just returned from a walk with the favorite ex and I'm sweating and near exhaustion. I don't think her rate of breathing even increased. Whew!

My battle with the squirrel in my basement is over thanks to a rat trap. I found his entrance and took care that none can get in again. Whew!

The big storm that paralyzed New England, Ontario and Quebec was very mild here. We got a couple of cm. of snow, some wind and today the temperature is very warm and everything is melting like crazy. Whew!

I have a friend coming over for the afternoon and am looking forward to that. If we were having a big storm no one could be on the roads and I'm happy that's not the case. Whew!

Music for today: Tonight the Maritimes are in a perfect position to see the lunar eclipse. We haven't a cloud in the sky right now and hopefully it will remain clear this evening. Here are some moon songs for the occasion. No Moon At All by Jeri Southern, Wish I Was the Moon by Neko Case, Eryka Badu with Orange Moon and here's a link for Lamya's Pink Moon. For song number five hundred, we have Blossom Dearie's Moonlight Saving Time. Changes to the music page tomorrow. Whew!

Rainy and Warm - It's October

Went to visit my 91 year old friend today who I've hardly seen this summer. He is really glad I'll be available soon to take him on outings. We used to go on lots of jaunts together. He had only been off the Island once before he met me. I've taken him over the bridge a couple of times and took him to an outdoor cafe in Moncton, NB which was very funny as he thought street people might come and steal his food or something because he was very upset about it and told me to never take him someplace like that again. We've had our moments as he is very blunt and says some pretty weird things. I'll probably say weird things when I'm 91 too so I just let it go.

Fun Music for today: Candy Shop by Andrew Bird and An Occasional Man by Jeri Southern. I've been playing the Andrew Bird one a lot. It's from one of his older albums.

Link: I've always been fascinated by Meteora, Greece. I so would love to go there just to see the rocks then go to another small Island for the beaches and food. My son was married in Greece, on the Island of Paros. They had the first outdoor beach wedding ever and the mayor came to speak. The funny thing is, they don't have a clue what he said.

I've been burning cd's to try to get some of my almost 4000 songs to disc. I have 15 burned so far and am up to Bonnie Raitt. The music is filed alphabetically to the first name. I've got a lonnnggg way to go.
