I second EOD's recommendation of Sarah Barilles' "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road". Haunting. Sir Elton himself praised her, saying she performed the song better than he did.

How interesting it is. Sometimes, I watch YouTube videos, and last week one video popped up about the song, "The Girl From Ipanema is a far weirder song than you thought". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFWCbGzxofU The young man hosting the video, I would say, supplements what Tal Bachman wrote.

Let's see if I can shed some light on the subject, O.K.? First, some context. It started way back in the early 1970s. I was baptized in 1968, just after graduating from high school. Being a convert at age 18 (you can do the math), I was at the age when the ward & stake leaders were gently pushing the M-Men and Gleaners to socialize and find spouses. I met a guy who lived on the other side

This is why I'm a thread killer. I usually read the threads days or weeks after they have petered out. That being said, . . . I'm sorry about the passing of Will Bagley.

They never interested me, and my Hot Man doesn't have any, either. I, on the other hand, have street maps of several larger European cities tattooed on my legs. Sorry, I didn't originate that joke.

While driving thru the barrio today, we passed a ward building at the southwest corner of Civic Center Dr. and Tonopah Ave. in North Las Vegas. It's an older, odd, one-of-a-kind building, possibly built when members did most of the work themselves and wards put on budget dinners. Well, the building's for sale.

Ms. Chlorine, i.e., Ms. Cl2 who posted above, reminded me of my temple name (received in 1975) as she and I have temple names chosen from JoJu's own family members.

Well, some Canadian geese stopped off at a North Las Vegas city park with a pond & waterfall, liked it, and decided to stay. All year long. Including our infamous summers. Seriously, I swear they aren't bothered by either excessive heat or excessive cold. It must be their down insulation protecting them from the wild weather swings.
