Wasting . . .

 . . . all OUR time . . . 


(from https://www.business-standard.com/article/international/11-us-senators-say-they-will-ll-challenge-electoral-college-results-121010300024_1.html)
". . . According to The Hill, GOP (Grand Old Party -- another slang for the Republican Party) Senators Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Steve Daines, John Kennedy, Marsha Blackburn and Mike Braun and Senators-elect Cynthia Lummis, Roger Marshall, Bill Hagerty and Tommy Tuberville said in a joint statement that they will vote against accepting the election results until there is a 10-day audit. . ."


". . . Of the roughly 50 lawsuits the president and his allies have filed challenging election results, nearly all have been dismissed or dropped. He’s also lost twice at the U.S. Supreme Court. . . The days ahead are expected to do little to change the outcome. . ."

Getting . . .

. . . along . . . 

(From Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis)
". . . "Well-" Babbitt crossed the floor, slowly, ponderously, seeming a little old. "I've always wanted you to have a college degree." He meditatively stamped across the floor again. "But I've never-Now, for heaven's sake, don't repeat this to your mother, or she'd remove what little hair I've got left, but practically, I've never done a single thing I've wanted to in my whole life! I don't know 's I've accomplished anything except just get along. I figure out I've made about a quarter of an inch of of a possible hundred rods. . . Go ahead, old man! The world is yours!"

Rights . . .

                                                  

. . . and money


 ". . . The news that Bob Dylan, and before him Stevie Nicks, has sold his publishing to his song catalog, has prompted a deluge of conversation on Twitter. . . And thus comes the news from David Crosby, veteran rock star of Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Byrds, that he’s selling his rights, too. . . He wrote: “I am selling mine also …I can’t work …and streaming stole my record money …I have a family and a mortgage and I have to take care of them so it’s my only option ..I’m sure the others feel the same” . . . Crosby, who is always outspoken, says in other tweets on the subject that he’s the same age as Dylan, which is 79, and needs money. . ."

Attraction . . .


Every hair upon your head
Has got to be in place for the camera.
Every place you happen to be
The people stare. . . 

Cause, you are not the main attraction.
But oh, how you wanted to be.

Don’t equate each little thing
That happened in the past to the present.
Don’t expect each person to see
The things you see. . . 

Do you ever think of anyone else?
Does concern come crossing your mind?
There’s enough conceit under your own belt
To last a lifetime.

If your dreams should ever come true,
I’ll see that spiteful face on the cover
Of a tabloid where the headline reads,
“She wants to be . . . “

Nothing but the main attraction.
But oh, how you wanted to be.

Ring . . .


 . . . in the RIGHTNESS


. . . Surrounded by a force making all things new.

You are safe, you are whole, nothing goes askew. . . 

There comes a day when you know just where you belong.

When you act from this place nothing can go wrong . . . 

(John P. Graboski)

Consequences . . .

The stars lay in a blanket above.
A gentle breeze blowing in from the sea.
The last light flickers from one lonely candle.
Never before was a night half as perfect
For you and me.

But there was a party last night. 
Yes there was a party nextdoor,
‘Cause there’s a boy sleeping on the back porch.

You would have noticed a pin drop that evening.
The peace and calm when romance fills the air.
Ambience oozing from Coltrane and Hartman.
And barely twenty feet away, we’d no clue
What was happening there.

No blaring rock and roll.
No bottles on the walk.
No screaming, shouting and no fight.
Nobody called the law.
No sirens in the night.
Just one young man, stretched out on a chaise,
Sleeping it off.

Occasions such as this should be savored.
The combination of circumstance rare.
You may just be the true love that I’ve searched for.
I think though, that the folks in the house that’s next door 
Just don’t care.
