Doing the best I can with what I have

I have a suspicion you have been brave and beautiful, smart and sassy, many time in your life. Heck isn’t that what teachers do all day long?

Seriously, WTF with 2016??? The “In Memorium” segment at the Oscars is going to take up half the show this year.

They’ll need a second special just for that.

Leonard Cohen, the master of poetic lyrics also young Leslie. It has, for a galaxy of reasons been a bad, bad year. We must share a bottle of red one day and lament.

‘Dance Me To The End Of Love’ all about The Holocaust ; ‘Sisters of Mercy’ all about a couple of gals he met in New York looking for a place to stay; ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’ my favourite…the list is endless.

Prince, David and Leonard were the toughest losses for me this year…three of my all-time fave musicians. If I ran a radio or TV station, I would probably turn New Year’s Eve into some kind of Day of the Dead celebration, with a mix of songs from those who passed in 2016.
Also, I can’t help myself…all these people dying young in 2016…Trump is still alive at 70. More proof that the Universe is not fair.

I thought the same thing about the old fart Trump still kicking while we’ve lost so many young people. I feel like shaking my fist at the sky.
