Game Face

Gil has asked to wait until next week. There’s no rush, he says.

I tripped over the dog leashed out front on my way to the car this morning.

I played this song over and over in the car on the way to work today. (Can’t figure how to upload it. Zeno?)

Thats all.

Update: After much heated discussion, it may still be on for tonight or tomorrow, so I will be busily fixing up their room today in case they want to go see it!

Shiver Me Timbers by Tom Waits

I’m leavin’ my fam’ly
And leavin’ my friends
My body’s at home
But my heart’s in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
My tears are salt water
And the moon’s full and high

And I know Martin Eden’s
Gonna be proud of me
And many before me
Who’ve been called by the sea
To be up in the crow’s nest
And singin’ my say
Shiver me Timbers
‘Cause I’m a-sailin’ away

The fog’s liftin’
And the sand’s shiftin’
and I’m driftin’ on out
And Ol’ Captain Ahab
He ain’t got nothin’ on me.
So come on and swallow me, don’t follow me
I’m trav’lin’ alone
Blue water’s my daughter
‘n I’m gonna skip like a stone

So please call my missus
Tell her not to cry
‘Cause my goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
And nobody knows me
I can’t fathom my stayin’
Shiver me timbers
I’m a-sailin’ away

And the fog’s liftin’
And the sand’s shiftin’
I’m driftin’ on out
Ol’ Captain Ahab
He ain’t got nothin’ on me
So come on and swallow me, don’t follow me
I’m trav’lin’ alone
Blue water’s my daughter
‘n I’m gonna skip like a stone

And I’m leavin’ my family
Leavin’ my friends
My body’s at home
But my heart’s in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
And shiver me timbers
I’m a-sailin’ away
