Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
I’ve never liked coffee. I would drink two cups of hot tea at work every morning. But since I’ve retired I don’t have to become alert in the morning before I want to, so it’s iced tea or Pepsi occasionally with lunch.
About 30 years ago I was running a mens softball team at work, and the guys called me papa Joe because I took care of everything. But then one guy said I should be pasta Joe because I could eat so much pizza. So the name stuck even though I’m not Italian.
We’ve been going to the Jersey shore every July for 20 years. Cape May on the southern tip where our hotel is across the street from the beach. It’s quiet and more for older folks or families with little kids. If you have older kids that need entertainment then north of that is Wildwood which has a long boardwalk with amusement rides and a water park. It’s a day trip to drive there. Take the NYS Thruway to 81s, then south to the Penn extension through Philadelphia, across NJ to Atlantic City area, then south. It would be about 7-8 hours from Buffalo.
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease
And the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man
Sky pilot, Sky pilot,
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.
Last year we were in lockdowns and working and schooling remotely which reduced the spread. And the people that complained about lockdowns are the same people now complaining that there’s more deaths in 2021, when we’re back open but still have a significant percentage of people willfully unvaccinated for political reasons. Those that complain the most have done the least to end the variants that are causing breakthrough cases.
And it’s no coincidence that the states most resistant to preventative measures have had the largest percentage of deaths from the Delta variant.
When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heartbeat in time with my breathing
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold
I watch you sit and twitching
With a match between your teeth
You seem to have a knack of moving it
It's in time to the beat
Face dances tonight
Fate chances moonlight
Face dances tonight
Fate chances moonlight
If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
Ooh-ooh, girl, I just want you to stay
