THE PIANO MAN

   VERY 1970'S-That's what Billy Joel's  drinking song personifies.  Neal Diamond (whose music depresses me and it turns out was depressed throughout the decade)  and Paul Simon ( who I like but who confessed he was depressed that whole decade too until he found Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes) were the other singer/composers of the '70's.  I was depressed in the 70's.. Maybe it was the music I listened to.  The 80's were better.  In the 90's I followed Simon and Joel to the Hamptons.  I saw them both plus Julie Andrews,Alan Alda,Christie Brinkley and Alec Baldwin out there when I lived there until 2002.

I deserted New York after September 11th and headed for Florida and then Cape Cod.  Now I'm wasting away in Margaritaville with Jimmy Buffett who by the way I saw in the Hamptons too.  Fortunately I gave up drinking and smoking in the 80's.  Since 2000 I've been into real estate until the 2008 economic crash.  I'm also into  nature living in Cape Cod up north and Cape Kennedy(Canaveral-formerly Irish for a few years) down south.

Christie divorced, Billy hit a tree in his Citroen,Alec insulted all of America and his daughter Ireland, Limmy was thrown out of a Knicks game for drunkeness, Julie went to rehab for pain pill addiction,Paul moved to connecticut and Neil and Alan jut stayed boring.

 We sold  our house and moved on.  We still regret it-especially my husband who agreed then and complains now.  It took one year to sell it.  He could have put his foot down anytime.  He didn't.  Today is our 27th anniversary.  He took me away from the loneliness of the Piano Man in 1979.  So it's actually our 33rd anniversary and we're moving again back to our pool house and away from the fish bowl on the sixth green with maintenance noise and marauding golf carts daily.

We're on a fairway there and not a green.  Our property is much bigger and it's not a townhouse.   So we're back to rolling on the river with the good ol' boys.  This country club has nice members but the food and pool rots and there's no privacy at our townhouse .  Also a board determines our gardening and architecture plans. So much for small government.  It's more like The Scarlet Letter.

So that's the word.  I'm waking up my husband at 10 am so he can lounge in his lazyboy.  That's been his main occupation for 27(33) years.  He moves when I insist.  Hmmmm!

There's much more BUT THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES especially on Blogger.

12th HOUSE OF IMAGINATION

FULL MOON TONIGHT-  IT'S HAZY AND LAZY DAY OF WINTER.  A TIME FOR BASEBALL,PEANUTS AND BEER.

WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE LIKE A BIG PIZZA PIE- THAT'S AMORE

                          I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IN MY 12TH HOUSE OF IMAGINATION.  IS THERE A 1-11TH HOUSE?

GIANTS WIN

                          GIANTS WIN by default.  Whose fault I don't know?  MEA
                                                  CULPA
                                                   MEA 
                                                   MAXIMA
                                                   CULPA
A win is a win is a win.
          The end zone 2 points in the beginning because Brady grounded the ball there or something.   And then toward the end when they parted all the 300+ pound hulks on the Patriots and allowed Moses to enter the end zone for a touchdown was ridiculous.  Then Brady not connecting at the end of the game with his receivers was all ludicrous.  The Mafia needed a certain point spread to make up for all the games they missed profiting on during the strike. 

It was fake and a fraud but at least not as hypocritical as Tebow praying to Jesus who advocated turning the other cheek that his 300 lbs. + hulks would protect him. 

Jesus died for our sins and so did Mrs. Kraft.  It's big business.  Just like the banks and Wall Street connived and cheated us blind and almost destroyed the World Economy.  The NFL scripted a Giants win.

BUT AS ST. TEBOW SAID:  "A WIN IS A WIN IS A WIN! "

END ZONE, NYC

                At least it wasn't a bogus Patriots win.

THE CAUTIOUS CANCER MOON CONFLICTS WITH SEVERAL PLANETS

                         THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING UP THERE IN THE HEAVENS.  MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK AT SOME CHICKEN ENTRAILS LIKE THEY DID IN "JULIUS CAESAR" TO SEE IF I SHOULD AVOID THE IDES OF FEBRUARY.  THE FOOL MOON IS UPON US AS SHAKESPEARE WOULD SAY.  THAT'S WHEN I THROW THE CAUTIOUS CANCER MOON TO THE WIND AND LET VENUS AND MARS DUKE IT OUT.
                           I TRIED TO GIVE BACK MY ANCIENT MERCEDES TO THE ;PREVIOUS OWNER WHO JUST SMASHED HIS NEWER ONE INTO A POLE AND RECEIVED A $7,OOO INSURNACE SETTLEMENT FOR A SPOTLESS MERCEDES WITH ONLY 78,000 MILES ON IT.  USUALLY HE DRIVES IT AROUND THE CORNER ONLY.  THIS TIME HE VENTURED OVER THE BRIDGE ALND JUST LIKE ONE (OR ALL OF THE YOUNGER) OF THE YOUNGER KENNEDYS, HE HIT A POLE BROKE HIS ELBOW AND HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE TOP OF HIS GRAY NAZI MOBILE.  HE USED TO SELL THEM.  NOW HE CRASHES THEM.  IT'S THE SECOND TIMES IN THREE MONTHS.  HE WAS DRIVING TO SEE HIS PROBATION OFFICER FROM THE FIRST ACCIDENT WHERE HE HIT A MAILBOX AND THEN A STOP SIGN IN VIEW OF A POLICEMAN IN  A SCHOOL ZONE AROUND THE CORNER FROM HIS HOUSE.  THE POLICE TOOK HIM TO JAIL BECAUSE HE WAS INCOHERENT.  HE CALLS HIS OLD MERCEDES "BLACKIE" AND HIS RECENTLY TOTALLED ONE "THE GREY SHADOW."
                              DRUG FREE AND OFF HIS BIPOLAR MEDICINE AND PERCOSET AND HOPEFULLY AMBIEN, HE'S COME TO SANITY AND IS LOOKING FOR A JAPANESE CAR.  BUT THE BANANA YELLOW MAZDA HE TRIED RATTLED.  SO HE'S STILL LOOKING.  SO I OFFERED "BLACKIE" TO HIS ESTRANGED WIFE FOR HIM.  THEN I COULD BUY THE CORVETTE DOWN THE STREET.  SHE REFUSED AND SAID I WANTED HIM TO BE CO-DEPENDENT ONME.  I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THE MERCEDES TO SOMEONE WHO LOVED IT.  THIS WANDERING JEW HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE HE SOLD IT TO US SO HE COULD PAY OFF THE4 FLOORING THAT HIS NOW ESTRANGED WIFE ( AND EVERY OTHER WOMAN IN AMERICA) HAD TO HAVE.  THEY ALL WANT WOOD FLOORS INSTEAD OF TILE.

IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN

                               IF I GOT THE PAINTERS WHO I GAVE A JOB TO BECAUSE THEY WERE LOW ON MONEY EVR FINISHED MY HOUSE,, I'D BUY A YELLOW CORVETTE THAT HAD A FOR SALE SIGN ON IT.  NOW I'VE DECIDED IT WOULD BE THE WHITE CORVETTE DOWN THE STREET WHICH IS NEWER AND IN BETTER CONDITION.

PRACTICE THE FINE ART OF COMPROMISE

                           My horoscopes are always to so peaceful and sensible.  Rarely does my astrological guru tellme to rush,be violent or aggressive.  It's always: 
                             

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH
                                                             AND  LET IT BEGIN WITH ME





DO THE OTHER SIGNS GET ALL THE FEISTY HOROSCOPES WHILE WE LIBRANS LAY IN THE BALANCE?

I WAS SOARING WITH ALL KINDS OF WILD IDEAS:  MOVING TO JENSEN BEACH,GOING TO COLORADO AND THEN DRIVING 2000 MILES BACK ACROSS THE USA IN A VOLVO(NOT A CHEVROLET) AND BUYING A WHITE CORVETTE THAT I HAVE NO GARAGE FOR.

            IT'S THE FULL MOON APPROACHING.  I ALWAYS GO A LITTLE LOONEY. 
I went to the beach yesterday -all 24 miles of it stretching in a continous sand dune beside the Atlantic Ocean looking a lot like the day Ponce De Leon sailed by lookingfor sunscreen or some other Fountain of Youth.  The Groundhog Day sand was warm and the water was calm with no rip currents for a change.  I took a walk and met a woman from Washington flying a Space Shuttle kite that she had bought at COSTCO in Seattle.  The wind picked up and we left.

\                                  Oh you could see the waxing Gibbous looking chubby above the ocean high in the sky. 









DO

STICK TO YOUR GUNS

                                          I have to put on my game face and stick to my agenda even though I may look recalcitrant.  So what is my agenda.  Hmmm.  On my calendar it says I'm doing a short sale today and buy a white Corvette tomorrow.   It's all do able.  The problem is I've alienated all real estate companies and agents except one.  Also I have no garage space for a white Corvette.  Also I could have bought it cheaper last year.   I had hped to buy a yellow 1976Corvette for $7500.  The dealer wouldn't even consider buying the 1996 because it has 130,000 miles on it.  Anyway whitey is all tuned up and the alarm system now works.  my neighbor wants $8400.  I swore I'd buy one if I got my house painted.  I did.    also we may go to colorado,ski and then drive a Volvo back 2000 miles t Connecticut next week.  Oy vey.  It was my idea but now I think nupe.  My husband who is totally recalcitrant will not change his mind. 

Also I fear wrecking my Corvette.  The only think we have to fear is fear itself

                                                 THE ONE DEFINITE ELEMENT IS THE SUPER BOWL IS SUNDAY BETWEEN THE JERSEY GIANTS AND THE FOXBORO PATRIOTS.  PHEW.
