I didn’t really plan on watching very much of the Olys last week; I’m really more of a winter sport person, but you kind of can’t help it. I admit it was fun to see the opening fanfare, the highs and lows of all the athletes, the old records broken and reset etc. But now the party is over and it’s back to our workaday lives again. Plus, the summer is almost over; back to school is right around the corner, and everybody in the U.S. has to get back to the interminable election coverage. I’ll bet you wish you had a parliamentary system like the Brits and Canucks do. Up here in Canada the whole thing overwith in weeks, not years, it costs a LOT less, and if it doesn’t work out, it’s easier to give ‘im the boot. Well, don’t let the turkeys get ya down. Here’s a little number by the legendary Nola music man, Huey “Piano” Smith to lift your spirits. Come on, let me hear you go “gooba gooba gooba gooba!”

I'm a baby boomer who grew up dancing in the streets of Detroit during the classic Motown years, lived beside the Rocky Mountains for many years, now retired and living (and writing full time) in S. Ontario. I have one blog for rock 'n' roll oldies, and one for nature, poetry and life along the Lake.
