I've got some friends that I can go to workin' for. Still I wish you'd change your mind, If I asked you one more time But we've been through that a hundred times or more. If I get there before the snow flies, And if things are goin' good. You could meet me if I sent you down the fare, But by then it would be winter, nothin' much for you to do. And those winds sure can blow cold way out there. Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high, All those things that don't change, Come what may. But our good times are all gone, And I'm bound for moving on. I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way... I think I’ll go out to Alberta,
The weather’s good there in the fall.
I’ve got some friends that I can go to workin’ for.
Still I wish you’d change your mind,
If I asked you one more time
But we’ve been through that a hundred times or more.

If I get there before the snow flies,
And if things are goin’ good.
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare,
But by then it would be winter, nothin’ much for you to do.
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there.

Four strong winds that blow lonely,
Seven seas that run high,
All those things that don’t change,
Come what may.
But our good times are all gone,
And I’m bound for moving on.
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way…

When did we start chatting online? I think it was just before or after you moved to TO. And congratulations on leaving Geocities behind. ;) Wow John, it’s amazing how both our lives have evolved here in Canada! When did we start chatting online?

Just the kind of craftsmany type bungalow I aspire to in retirement someday when back in the US. Can't stand suburban mcmansions. The first time I held an iphone (exactly one year ago)I was able to pull up my street corner in Chennai, India via Google earth. It was amazing and then I thought, thank god, I wasn't out in the driweway retrieving the morning paper from the bicycle delivery man when the satellite was passing over. Hey, nice house.

Yes there are ways to make blogs nonsearchable and God knows that even if you join facebook you can set privacy wall very high, but at the very least a human should be searchable on SOME online directory. Now having said that, the situation I described way back when has improved vastly in and out of facebook with tens of millions of Americans joining. Did you go to HHS? I don't recognize your name.
