If I Only Had A Brain - Lyrics

Brain/No Brain......you decide......


I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain

Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

Jack White - Rockin' It

My Older daughter was fortunate enough to see The White Stripes live recently. I asked her to get me just one good shot of Jack playing, and she could use my camera.

Mission accomplished. This is a girl who, as a baby could communicate clearly without words. First baby I ever saw that always wanted to wear a hat. She'd go into a drugstore with me and organize all the items on the lowest shelves perfectly. She also had weird baby mojo that, whenever she walked up to a soda machine, she'd get a free soda just by pressing the buttons.

Here's the pic- it's also a link to a wallpaper:

Circleville Ohio Cemetery

Passing by - had to stop. The uncomfortableness Timmy had about walking through cemeteries has finally passed - 20 years after his death. Good 19th century sculpture, plus modern zing. Looky. Link @ pic

Little Town

These images come from a book with the same name as this post. I bought it at a flea market or some place and owing to my parental guilt for being on the road, went over it in great detail with my tiny son. We got to see the world that is gone, yet familiar. He understood, and all my children understand.

The book is by Berta and Elmer Hadler (who knew?- a Wikipedia link.) and published by MacMillan in 1941, dedicated to Gayle. This apparently was their schtick, being Caldecott winners.

The activities happening in a small town (not unlike mine) are described with illustrations containing a plethora of visual features as accompaniment.

It's another world.

Another World, I say.

Here's the house - this is kinda light (no pun intended) compared to recent years. 1024x768 image at picture link.
