Hey, Miss Sis, How ya doin`? Just wrote to that guy below or should I say down under? He`s Real..yep. I`ve had a long several days between that back problemo, thingy, crap issue..don`t ask. I`ll tell you in a e-mail. Also, shopping for Mom, taking her to Doc`s for follow up regarding her eye surgery and hearing aids has been a trip! Today, I took her to the diner and while we were driving she looked into her passenger side mirror and was overwhelmed at how many new wrinkles she has gotten. She told me that it was because of the stiff bandage they put over half her face. I said, "Ma, maybe it`s because you can see better after the eye surgery and you are noticing more". That was the wrong thing to say! Now, I probably have to buy more anti-aging wrinkle cream for her on my next visit! Anyway, we had a nice visit..and I do treasure her...Hope that I have that will to live and still care about wrinkles at her age(going on 89 this August..God Bless Her). So, what`s the gig for Stephen this weekend. I imagine Christmas themes and such will be on the agenda. Mims, got snow? Silly question, as your lake effect snow always provides a blanket of white..send some this way..okay? Love Ya, New York Sis

As for my Toulouse alley picture...Hey - my anthem: 'If you come to a fork in the road, take it' (Yogi Berra). Who knows what lies at the end of the alley? Who knows what lies along the way? Who knows what might jump out at you? How will you ever know unless you stride down the alley? Bring it on...and may the Devil take the hindmost.

No poem. Song. Where Do You Go To My Lovely. Peter Sarstedt. Released 1969. Won the Ivor Novello Award the same year. Part of my life - I know the words off by heart...all about a trailer-trash chick who moves on and up to eventually move freely in the empty, mindless, hedonistic, moneyed circles of the idle rich in the French Riviera/ Monte Carlo set. F. Scott would have loved her. Sarstedt was an Indian-born British singer of quirky urban lyrics and melodies -his other big hit was (One More Glass Of) Frozen Orange Juice. Conjecture has it that the subject of of 'Where Do You Go...' was someone he knew intimately. Moi? Je ne sais quoi...

Hi...Twinklytoes....wow! that was cool song quoted below by the Irishman....or is it poem?? well....loved it.... just stoppin by to let you know I'm still about...just tryin to catch up with life as usual and falling behind....and by the way....loved that name of club..Martinis.~ Hugs from Quirks~ XXOO
said quirkyartist
Yes. You have the gift. The small folk hide behind toadstools when you stride the land in wrath. And when you smile, the fairies flutter in the sunlight. As for my picture of the bust-up wall in Toulouse...I knew you'd like it because it reminds you of me...old, craggy, decrepit and falling apart at the seams. but still, somehow, interesting :-)
said DaveMullany
hey Mims .... loved your piece about the donkey (!) .... thanks !
said leervis67
gosh ... Dave's back ....
said leervis67
Where do you go to my lovely?? Well... You talk like Marlene Dietrich And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire Your clothes are all made by Balmain And there are diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are. You live in a fancy apartment Off the Boulevard St. Michel...You go to the embassy parties where you talk in Russian and Greek And the young men who move in your circles They hang on every word you speak... But where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed. Tell me the thoughts that surround you I want to look inside your head. I've seen all your qualifications you got from the Sorbonne: And the painting you stole from Picasso Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does. When you go on your summer vacation You go to Juan-les-Pins. With your carefully designed topless swimsuit you get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs. And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz With the others of the jet-set And you sip your Napoleon Brandy But you never get your lips wet. Your name is heard in high places You know the Aga Khan He sent you a racehorse for Christmas And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh ha-ha-ha They say that when you get married It'll be to a millionaire But they don't realize where you came from And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn But where do you go to my lovely When you're alone in your bed Tell me the thoughts that surround you I want to look inside your head. I remember the back streets of Naples Two children begging in rags Both touched with a burning ambition To shake off their lowly brown tags So look into my face Marie-Claire And remember just who you are Then go and forget me forever But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do I know where you go to my lovely When you're alone in your bed I know the thoughts that surround you `Cause I can look inside your head. (Just got back from the South of France: the song has special resonance)

All Mimsy were the Borogroves! Thank you for noticing! Yes - I'm back and will keep on trucking forth. Not that I've been disinterested in the RT; just reckon there's so much more else and otherwise and whatever to do as well. Sorry: I'm a Gemini Irishman - I can't help myself.
