Hello, Again. Hello.
Sorry I have not been regular lately (as a blogger I mean). I have been busier than a one-armed paper hanger with the hives. We are in the thick of getting ready for the baseball season. This topic alone could be enough for another blog, but then it is also the main reason we would not have time to update it very often. Combine that with taxes and really bizarre things at work and music stuff and real estate stuff and you understand why I am moments away from mumbling to myself incoherently as I swat at flying cats and chain-smoking school buses.
Once again, I hope you will indulge me in a prayer request. One of the kids in the car accident has had some pretty poor reports lately and is in serious danger of losing a limb. Please offer a prayer for this young man and his family early and often.
Back to our little contest- This one might possibly set a record for the most entries, so we will allow four per entry instead of the customary two or three. This time we are after a theme involving-
GIRLS' NAMES
Good luck!

She is very nice and her name is Katie

It almost always ends up a nice sound
Her hair is brown, her hair is straight
Her eyes are round and her smile is great, yeah
Her smile is great yeah
Lyrics by Wilson Adam

Brandon, you are so close. There was a song about me, but as it turns out they changed it. A poor sense of direction kept me from finding her, let alone going and getting her. I just wasn't made for that. Also, I am woefully inept at making a sad song better, it takes more than a minute to let anyone into my heart and I happen to be rather thick skinned and afraid. I still contend there may have been politics involved but the song went to some guy named Jude. It's just as well. Nobody ever heard the song anyway.

"Little Clarissa Christmas Tree"
Little Clarissa Christmas tree
said I wonder who'll buy me
People came and home they went
with trees that weren't so thin and bent.
(Don't know who did it. It's a song I was assigned in voice lessons in Middle School.)
