Succinctly Sunday

Because some days you're the lion- on top of the world and the food chain, other days you're the hippo having your guts ripped out and about to become lunch.

• I just heard Drivin N Cryin doing the song Fly Me Courageous- still great (look it up on the youtubes)- it came out in 1991. It will always remind me of my mom, the first time she heard it she said,"Good grief- what is that junk?"
• It will also always remind me of an old friend who somehow got involved with a married woman which became a murder for hire plot with the murderee being his wife and the hirer the woman he was involved with. In an odd, loose association I actually met her before he did, I worked on the house she owned. I remember her bawling the painter out because," That's- the- wrong- shade- of- Periwinkle, see look,that will never do!" as she placed a paint chip on the wall. I was looking over her shoulder waiting to talk to her on something regarding our part of the construction and get my fair share of abuse and I honestly could not tell the difference- the chip she held against the wall literally disappeared the match was so perfect. She's in prison right now, I bet she wishes she would have learned to be happy with the Periwinkle paint life gave her even if it wasn't exactly what she pictured.
