Fitting lyrics for today’s sunset:
“At the end of a long, long day
Come go with me in the blue and the gray
There’s no up, there’s no down
And there’s no way around
At the end of the day”
I love this song and I highly recommend you watch Doug Paisley perform it:

I had fun playing on the beach yesterday morning. Even my shadow seemed to enjoy the lovely sunshine!
Note: Image not to scale. I do have long legs, but not THAT long!
We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.

After a rainy beginning of November, this past week on the Oregon Coast we’ve been spoiled with mild, sunny days. As per usual, the wind picks up in the afternoon but the mornings, ah, the mornings have been stupendous. Thought I’d share a bit of my morning ocean with you.
Acknowledging a mistake just means that you are wiser today than you were yesterday.

I don’t do bumperstickers but this one that I spotted recently in Bellingham, Washington is right up my alley:
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

During the break between bands at the Stones Throw Brewery Fall Block Party in Bellingham, Washington I caught this joke:
“You wanna know why Washington outlawed square bales of hay? We wanted our cows to have a well-rounded diet!”
Feel free to groan. The two young ladies he was trying to impressed both did!

What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.
