Yes, I know all about being "Sick + Tired Of Being "Sick + Tired"!!! For months now, I've endured the annoying pain of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. No more heavy lifting for me! My computer was also sick as well for a spell! Timely this should appear, like myself, my dears!
So nice to see you in the comments, dear Larry. Sorry to hear about your back and your puter. Physical and technical difficulties can be such a pain in the arse. Wishing you less pain and strain! Cheers 🌈✌️
Recorded when Shirley was younger. Her voice/diction clear and uncluttered. Still the message is........spot on. The recklessness of youth, me, you included.
Yuppers I can't really begrudge the TicTockers of today, they are only doing what I (and you?) did and older folks muttered at me/us.....young uns I don't know. 😝 I even got round to calling my brother earlier to say I'm sorry if I haven't been the younger brother he expected of me. His general answer was it's ok and he and Kath (SIL) accepted a long time ago I would live my life the way I wanted, and we would be friendly brothers, if not busom close. Still all that's another chapter. Cheers DougT
Sounds like you’re doing some inventory, my dear Doug. I don’t know what’s bringing up yours—or mine—but it’s a good thing. I think. At least it’s movement…towards another chapter. Cheers!
Yup Clint, I think I've watched and LISTENED and took in some of those beautiful life lessons I have been posting this last week. I'm taking it slowly though 😎 🫂🫂 Cheers
Clint, very sincere and heartfelt words from you, more power to your elbow! Nowwwww I have been in a reflective mood all this weekend, music, YT, memories both good AND bad, this last 5+ years haven't been the best for me, the Ivory Tower has been my go to place. I need to speak to myself, AND listen to myself and haul out of this deep trench I'm existing in. It would be great to get a plan of action and someone to believe in....me, whatever. It would be great to think that when the time comes someone cares, knows, and the Ivory Tower reveals BUT hides it's secrets. Ohhh if only I/we (that's everyone) could turn back the clock. Opportunities come to pass, not to pause. Something for me to reflect on. I'll send the clip of the very lady that uttered this. My life has been blessed and as one door closed another has opened, whether I wanted it to happen or not. Not everyone gets the option/s. Thank you Clint for reading to the end, it's been so 'liberating' putting it down on a cyber paper letter. Like you, life it's now a work in progress. Cheers DougT
I hope you know how much you are loved and valued, Doug. Your heart is big and you mind is sharp. I believe in you, kind sir. I’m rooting for you. And always here if you want to cuss/discuss things. Whether you realize it or not, you helped me emerge from my dark cave and find my way back to a new normal (one that I’m still defining for myself). Happy to repay the favor if I’m able…lord knows I’m willing. Cheers, my dears! :-)

The clip of Ann before and her opportunity encounter with a photographer on the street of Belfast. Cheers DougT
Wow. I love these kinds of stories. They happen more than any of us will ever know. I’m convinced of it. Thanks for sharing, Doug!

Beautiful track, Doug. Oh, youth…I regret none of it. Except for not taking more photos and writing more about that era in my journal. :-)
