Lyrics of the Day

A little trip down Memory Lane...

Pour little sugar on me honey
Pour little sugar on me baby
I'm gonna make love so sweet (hey hey hey)
Pour little sugar on me honey.
---The Archies - Sugar, Sugar

Love sets us in motion and gets down around our feet
We're living to the rhythm of our heart's together beating
I love you, I love you, let me whisper in your ear
Let me kiss you on the shoulder honey
Let me hold you near
---Pam Tillis - Sweetheart's Dance

You fell in a moment of weakness
Well you just got to pull yourself back up
Dry your morning-after tears
'Cause what's done is done
---Pam Tillis - Spilled Perfume

Your travel life has the aspect of a dream. It is something outside the normal, yet you are in it. It is peopled with characters you have never seen before and in all probability will never see again. It brings occasional homesickness, and loneliness, and pangs of longing... But you are like the Vikings who have gone into a world of adventure, and home is not home until you return.

The best time to plan a book is while you're doing the dishes.

One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
