Off The High Dive

(Image from: www.dailyiowan.com)

Biggest dare you have ever agreed to? Did it go well?
Craziest dream you ever followed? Successful?
Weirdest food you have been willing to try? Good or bad?
Shortest job you ever worked? Why?
Biggest crowd you have "performed" to? Speech, song, theater, dance?
I will share a few of my "high dive" stunts if you do!

Biggest dare:
Streaking around a girlfriend's house
age 12 or so,
midnight,
within view of a cemetery.
Thank goodness for thick landscape bushes...

What was YOUR biggest dare?
I dare you to share.



And the "Off The High Dive"?
I never had to be dared:
I love heights,
and water!

I'm Alright


I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

Do what you like,
Doing it naturally
But if it's too easy
They're gonna disagree

It's your life
And isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's business
It's everybody's game

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

Some Cinderella kid

Get it up and get you a job
(Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

Who do you want?
Who you gonna be today?
And who is it really
Makin' up your mind?

You wanna listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood
Listen to your

Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'

Don't it get you movin'

mmmmm-man

It make me feel good

(Wow, Cinderella kid)

Then give it up and give it the job

(dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
I'm alright
Just let me be

Sugar Water

4:1
water to sugar
stirred
dissolved
suspended
and decorated
with 20 long red slender ribbons
blowing in the wind
signaling.

Today:

The first
hummingbird
at my feeder.

Sweet.
