I always knew I liked Randy Travis... Randy says, of George Jones:
"If I were doing my top list of a hundred greatest singers of all time, George is always going to be on top."

Of his climb in drinking beer while in the marines, George:
"The feel goods got to feeling mighty good, and in fact, too good."

And more:
"Those were days you'd like to say were the good old days, but they wasn't, they were the bad old days."

Jones sure looks scary when he makes his duck sound...

Frolicing Snakes
Now a couple women at work are telling me about the pair of frolicing snakes, enjoying themselves in today's spring-like sunshine, playing in some water, along the path most people take on walks at breaks and things.... I went walking there, and I didn't see any snakes! Of course they would.

Abandoned
I was listening to the radio this morning, and on one of the commercials someone said, "It felt like I had lost my best friend." This started me thinking, I did lose my best friend. For whatever, and perhaps many reasons, my then best friend, L., abandoned our friendship about a year ago now.

At the precise time when I had moved into my new house, in a much better situation than I had been in for the 3 or 4 years prior, she left. The year that might have been quite happy, was thus transformed into a time of loss, of mourning. Mourning what was, what could have been.
