Have tried to stay out of the political stuff the past few days and slipped today. Sorry Brenda. That kind of stuff upsets me even if I am sure that I am right. My mother always taught us to not express our feelings and if we did, we should not have. Kind of a flop in that area. It is cool this evening in oblivion, in the center of Texas where nothing happens. Old friends are long gone into the distance of the past and I am alone today. Joni comforts me. I have read the rare postings concerning her and realized that I have spent the majority of my time listening to Court and Spark, Blue, and For the Roses. So decided to break out some of the other ones. Have been listening to Hejira these past couple of weeks and just cannot seem to find why it is so great to some people. Guess it is me but not gonna give up and maybe I will get it. Ladies of the Canyon plays now and damn, can that Joni sing. "playing real good for free" Just finished with Clouds. "but something's lost and something's gained by living every day, I really don't know life at all". She always seems to put it into perspective. My imperfections, my failings, my strong points, etc. She makes me feel as if, irregardless of what I am or am not, she loves me anyway and it is okay to be me. thanks Joni. mack
