"Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed.
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to my head.
Wherever I may roam,
On land or sea or foam.
You will always hear me singing this song:
Show me the way to go home."
-Irving King 1925

Here is one from 1926 that I used to sing to you, rocking you to sleep:

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye
7:22 PM

Another thing I have observed about my daughter, is that she has inherited her mothers temper. While we were at the doctor’s office, she would not let the doctor do anything without a fight. I guess this confirms what I have always thought, never ever underestimate the power of a small Italian wom...

I think having this blog will be useful now, giving the direction my life has taken. On 11/25 I was notified that I was being laid off of my job. My official last day at the office was today, Merry Christmas. All things considered though I think that this is a positive thing. I had been basically stagnating at work for about ten years or so. I hadn't been happy in about six years, and had not really cared for about four. To paraphrase the movie "Office Space" I was doing just enough not to get hassled by my bosses, or get fired. A topic for another post is why I never pursued advancement at my job. Trust me I have stories about my former place of employment. Now however the future is wide open. I have chosen to forgo rejoining the job market, and finish up my B.A. degree. If you have been following this blog at all, you would know that I am in school. This semester I applied for and was accepted as a transfer student at UMBC. In fact, I received the acceptance letter a...
