Practice makes perfect.
Perfection is rare.
Some think they've seen it
When it really isn't there.

I'm not a perfectionist,
But she with whom I'm communing
Doesn't see that this obsession
Is only fine tuning.

Fine . . .

. . . line

It’s a fine line I walk
Between here and insanity
It’s a fine line
Like a good wine some care
And some love must be taken and given
Like a good wine
I don’t know where it’s gonna come from
I only know that when it gets here
I may care or I may not
It just depends upon which side
Of the line that I’m on

When it’s my time I want
To be free of these cares and these worries
When it’s my time
I don’t when that’s gonna happen
Not really sure I want it happening
Any time real soon
It just depends upon which seat
That I take in the room

Do I really know what I’m asking?
You tell me I’m thinking too much
How can someone question the feelings
You haven’t allowed them to touch?

When will I find the things
That I’ve searched all this valuable time for?
When will I find
Just a thin dime will I take
For a glimpse of the depths of my soul
Just a thin dime
It’s not exorbitant to ask for
It’s one small price to have to pay
To get a piece of someone’s life
A good investment I can say
Because I know that it’s mine
It’s a fine line


Fine Line

". . . The (supreme) court’s opinion sets up a historic legal clash in which the justices will weigh the president’s power to set national security priorities against the need to protect individuals from discrimination based on their religious beliefs or national origin. . . In saying they would take the case, the justices partly endorsed the administration’s view that the president has vast authority to control who crosses the border. They said the president’s powers to limit immigration “are undoubtedly at their peak when there is no tie between the foreign national and the United States.” . . . But the opinion also signaled that some of the justices might believe that Mr. Trump exceeded even that broad authority when he twice sought to impose a blanket ban on entry to the United States from certain predominantly Muslim countries. . ."

Clown. . .

Are YOU lovin' it???

McDonald's was fined by a consumer protection agency in Brazil for targeting children in advertisements for  Happy Meals in the amount of 3.2 million reais (US $1.6 million). And though the amount may not make much of a dent in the fast food giant's pocketbook, the agency leveling the fine could issue additional citations should the firm persist in the offensive practices.

"There's no need to appeal as they do to children without the maturity or the rationality to enter the market as consumers," said an agency representative. The penalty is the latest in a series of increasingly aggressive tactics by Brazilian regulators, who recently have cracked down on large firms for perceived consumer abuses. In recent months, phone companies and private health plans have all been penalized for violation of consumers.

Here at home, a judge threw out a lawsuit against Happy Meal marketing. U.S. regulators have urged companies to voluntarily end food advertising to children unless they are promoting healthy fare, but typically, industry groups are putting up a fierce fight - Surprise! In calculated cooperation, McDonald's has added apples and reduced the amount of french fries in its children's Happy Meals, but insist on keeping the free toy. They also began listing calorie information on menus throughout the United States before the national rule requiring same.

Catalog Girl

HER EYES SAY COME CLOSER
HER HAIR FALLS DOWN HER SHOULDERS
LIKE A BLANKET ON HER SKIN
IF YOU DO YOU'LL NEVER WIN
SHE LOOKS THE SAME AT EVERY MAN
THAT LOOK SAYS I'M CONFECTION
YOU CAN'T HAVE A TASTE UNLESS YOUR DOCTOR SAYS YOU CAN

HER LIPS PURSED EVER SO SLIGHTLY
YOU THINK SHE WANTS TO INVITE YOU OUT
TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER
THE WHOLE ROUTINE BECOMES A BLUR
SHE SAYS IT ALL WITHOUT A WORD
SHE LOOKS LIKE PURE PERFECTION
AND YOU'LL NEVER EVER SEE THE LIKES OF HER AGAIN

BUT SHE'S MINE I KNOW SHE'LL NEVER LEAVE ME
SHE'S FINE AND SHE'LL NEVER DECEIVE ME
OTHER EYES ADMIRE AND DESIRE HER TOO
AND SHE SMILES IN RESPONSE TO ALL GLANCES
FROM THOSE WHO CARE TO SEE
ALL OF HER DELICATE LINES
ON THE PAGE WHERE YOU'LL FIND
THE TWO DIMENSIONS OF MY
CATALOG GIRL

THEY ALL SAY SHE'S NOT BRIGHT
BUT WHEN THE SPOTLIGHT IS LIT
YOU CAN SEE HER BUSINESS SENSE
IT'S SINCERE INTELLIGENCE
SHE WORKS SO HARD AT WHAT SHE DOES
INTENSITY AND CONCENTRATION ON HER FACE
SHOW SHE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN FLUFF

BUT SHE'S MINE I KNOW SHE'LL NEVER LEAVE ME
SHE'S FINE AND SHE'LL NEVER DECEIVE ME
OTHER EYES ADMIRE AND DESIRE HER TOO
AND SHE SMILES IN RESPONSE TO ALL GLANCES
FROM THOSE WHO CARE TO SEE
ALL OF HER DELICATE LINES
ON THE PAGE WHERE YOU'LL FIND
THE TWO DIMENSIONS OF MY
CATALOG GIRL

HER SHAPE'S LIKE A TAPE
SHE WEIGHS ONE HUNDRED EIGHT
AND SHE LOOKS SO APPEALING
IN CLOTHING REVEALING
HER HEART'S ON HER SLEEVE
THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE
SHE PRACTICES THAT COME ON LOOK
IMPROVES IT MORE IN EVERY BOOK
SHE IS THE EPITOME OF CATALOG GIRL

ONE DAY SOON SHE WILL NO
LONGER POSSESS ALL THE ASSETS OF THOSE
BYGONE YOUTHFUL DAYS
THE YEARS WILL PASS JUST LIKE A PHASE
NOTHING BUT MEMORIES IN A HAZE
AND THOUGH HER STAR WILL FADE
A LITTLE GLORY WILL REMAIN UPON A TABLE NEAR THE CHAISE

BUT SHE'S MINE I KNOW SHE'LL NEVER LEAVE ME
SHE'S FINE AND SHE'LL NEVER DECEIVE ME
OTHER EYES ADMIRE AND DESIRE HER TOO
AND SHE SMILES IN RESPONSE TO ALL GLANCES
FROM THOSE WHO CARE TO SEE
ALL OF HER DELICATE LINES
ON THE PAGE WHERE YOU'LL FIND
THE TWO DIMENSIONS OF MY
CATALOG GIRL
