  Beans and Cucumbers and a veiw from and of my desk in the study. Liz put this garden out, mostly grown from seed inside in the Winter, and we've recently been getting a decent yield. Lots of cucumbers. Do those things grow overnight or what? The one row of beans she planted are still producing well. I just picked quite a few Roma tomatoes and some chiles earlier today. It's time to cook something hot I think.   On the music end, I'm not sure if I've ever talked about how much I love this man (left=then, right=now). I mean, I don't sit around thinking about kissing him in the mouth, but you know, that's not what I mean. Now, I might if I ever met him, but that's different. Billy Joel is my favorite single artist. He has been for a long time.Billy has to be one of the most consistently talented musician/songwriters in American Pop/Rock history. Of course I heard his music as it was played here and there on the radio back in the '70s and early '80s. In High School was when I was really introduced more properly to the man and his music - by my friend Tim Welch. If you, by some weird chance, read this Tim, thanks.  My first purchase was Glass Houses, his current album at the time. A couple of big hits on that album, but for me, it became a whole album deal with Mr. Joel. Sure, You May Be Right (playing as I write this) is great and everybody knows that one, and It's Still Rock & Roll To Me. But how 'bout All For Leyna, I Don't Want To Be Alone or C'Etait Toi? And yes, I can sing those verses in French! And that's just one album. I have most of his work, a lot of it on vinyl. I've re-bought a good bit of it on CD over the years, and now some from iTunes. It is the 21st century after all.I regret that I've never seen him in concert. I have friends who have and what I hear is - yes, it's all that and a couple'a bags 'a chips. He's even been to Lexington while I've lived here, back in the '90s sometime. I actually sold some wading boots to a roadie of his when I worked in the Orvis store here in town selling fly fishing equipment. Close, but no piano keys I guess. Maybe one day. Seems like he's doing a little touring again, playing his non classical music. Hopefully. That's that I guess. Thanks a lot Billy, for all the great music! Thank you for using your talent like that and giving it to us. technorati tags > music, photography, family, gardening, billy joel Labels: music, personal, photography :::

three quotes |:: "Then, if we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Herein we cannot possibly do amiss." "Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross
is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." "...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self."
