She Buys Sea Shells…

By Jimmy Johnson


I stopped by this morning to unlock the door and turn on the lights, but I can’t stay long. I’m on the road for a couple of days. No, I am not at the beach as are Arlo and Janis in the above oldie from 2010. I wish! However, speaking of leisure, et al, I have not forgotten our discussion about the work status of our friends. In fact, I have enjoyed thinking about it and look forward to sharing my thoughts with you. That’s why I’m not going to rush into it now. In a day or two, I’ll have more time to spend on the subject. See you then! And please, try not to break anything.

    EMB I need no excuse to break out in song,but I have not slept in about 30 hours, so I’ll be lucky to make it to the beach. Plus I think this group has set the bar a little high!
