Thoughts On Turning Thirty

I woke up this morning (well when I woke up for real, because I had to turn my ringer off….6:30 is just a LITTLE too early for me) to the dulcet tones of the late Eva Cassidy singing, “I Can Only Be Me”. I couldn’t have picked a better song to wake up to.

We’ve Only Just Begun….

…the Glenn Jones version not the wussy Carpenter’s song….
