MY DAUGHTER, ADRIENNE, & I ARE GOING TO GET OUR COVID-19
BOOSTER SHOTS THIS MORNING (MY #4 SON, JOSHUA, WILL GET HIS NEXT WEEK), PLUS I
SHALL ALSO BE GETTING MY FLU SHOT. I'D LIKE TO THINK WHEN WE RETURN HOME, I'LL
JUMP RIGHT ON MY PC IN A FRANTIC EFFORT TO CATCH UP. IN REALITY, BASED ON RECENT
PAST EXPERIENCE, WE ALL KNOW I'LL COLLAPSE IN BED AND REMAIN SLEEPING FOR 3 or 4
DAYS (more or less).

APOLOGY: Webmistress is experiencing combined health
issues (COPD, thyroid, and rheumatoid arthritis) which are preventing her from
remaining at her keyboard for more than a few brief minutes per day. Eternal
optimist that she is, she's hoping for some improvement in regulating them soon.
Meanwhile, she's usually lying down, gazing longingly at her computer only a few
feet away, wondering why she can't seem to function, and dreaming of the Good
Old Days.

The Impossible
Written by
Kelley Lovelace
and Lee
Thomas Miller
Recorded by Joe Nichols (b. 26 Nov 1976), 2002
My dad chased monsters from the dark
He checked underneath my bed
An he could lift me with one arm
Way up over top of his head
He could loosen rusty bolts
With a quick turn of his wrist
He pulled splinters from his hand
And never even flinched
In thirteen years I'd never seen him cry
But the day that grandpa died, I realized
Unsinkable ships sink
Unbreakable walls break
Sometimes the things you think could never happen
Happens just like that
Unbendable steel bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible
And then there was my junior year
Billy had a brand new car
It was late, the road was wet
I guess the curves was just too sharp
I walked away without a scratch
They brought the helicopter in
And Billy couldn't feel his legs
Said he'd never walk again
But Billy said he would and his mom and daddy prayed
And the day we graduated, he stood up to say:
Unsinkable ships sink
Unbreakable walls break
Sometimes the things you think could never happen
Happens just like that
Unbendable steel bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible
So don't tell me that it's over
Don't give up on you and me
'Cause there's no such thing as hopeless
If you believe:
Unsinkable ships sink
Unbreakable walls break
Sometimes the things you think could never happen
Happens just like that
Unbendable steel bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible
