Had a semi productive day yesterday, laundry, dishes, and ran a phone outlet.

I had to throw that in since I didn't post it yesterday.
** EDIT**

I also gave Rocky a bath,watched the Steelers beat the Vikings, and then watched a pool trick shot tournament on ESPN.




Dear PHILLIP, the more you think about things, the more doubts you may have. You tend to follow your instincts, and this works for you. As an Aries, you are entering a period in which you really need to trust your intuition. So if you find yourself very emotional over the next few days, wait until you have calmed down a little before you make any decisions...


and now..

Mexican Home
©John Prine

It got so hot, last night, I swear
You couldn't hardly breathe
Heat lightning burnt the sky like alcohol
I sat on the porch without my shoes
And I watched the cars roll by
As the headlights raced
To the corner of the kitchen wall.

Chorus:
Mama dear
Your boy is here
Far across the sea
Waiting for
That sacred core
That burns inside of me
And I feel a storm
All wet and warm
Not ten miles away
Approaching
My Mexican home.

My God! I cried, it's so hot inside
You could die in the living room
Take the fan from the window
Prop the door back with a broom
The cuckoo clock has died of shock
And the windows feel no pane
The air's as still
As the throttle on a funeral train.

Chorus:

My father died on the porch outside
On an August afternoon
I sipped bourbon and cried
With a friend by the light of the moon
So its hurry! hurry! Step right up
It's a matter of life or death
The sun is going down
And the moon is just holding its breath.

Chorus:
