Oh, if only that timeless moment
If only suspension in pure bliss,
no time but an endless present.
Then, what then? Then, just this...

Spontaneous Dialogue
with two young Masons on a cigarette break outside
 "I'm seventy two and I can lean",
I said, while leaning on the bannister.
'I'm thirty two and I can stand", replied plaid-clad.
"I'm 22 and I can dance" the other added.

Wednesday
An Apple Brown Betty
ready for the oven

Thursday
-Weekly Horoscope by R. Bresney-
"It's time to smash gaping holes through obstacles.
Don't scrimp or apologize. Clear the way for the future."

Friday

 Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,

 Saturdays child works hard for a living,

Saturday

And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.


Foot Note
I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus is the fourth comedy recording made by The Firesign Theatre for Columbia Records. It was released in 1971 and is the last of a tetrology, comprising their first four albums.

Oh Michelle...so much goodness here! I love the window light photos. It must have been fun to see so many different styles of art all together. You poor gal with that noise from the gas leak!!! It would drive me crazy! And last but not least...Firesign Theater...different album, but I can still quote many parts of "Nick Danger" :)
