Back to it!

[captain_phil]

Had a semi-productive weekend, worked on the pool a while Saturday, at least the levels are where they need to be, now to get the algae problem cleared up, whee. I also washed Rocky yesterday, and checked him for ticks. looks like a bad year for them. I also brewed a batch of the as of yet unnamed red ale while waiting on the race, which was postponed until this afternoon. *grumble grumble*

guess that's all for this morning, other than what you all have been waiting for all weekend!

Take the Star Out of the Window
© John Prine

Robert was a sailor
For the best years of his life
His captain was his mother
And the ocean was his wife
Only fresh out of the cradle
Life's one and only spring
He was sworn to do his duty
And got blood on his high school ring

Chorus:
And it's hello California
Hello Dad and Mom
Ship ahoy
Your baby boy
Is home from Vietnam
Don't you ask me any questions
'Bout the medals on my chest
Take the star out of the window
And let my conscience take a rest

Now he sailed across the ocean
To the old far eastern war
And it was foreign to his body
It was foreign to his shore
So he traded in the present
For the better times he'd seen
And made an oriental waitress
His own home comin' queen

(Repeat chorus)
