Game time

I thought that I’d make a change today and set up a game... let’s see how many of these you can solve!

The following list is titles of blog posts (you can verify them on the main page) that are taken from various song lyrics.  The songs are a mixture of pop music (1940s-2010), songs from Sesame Street, hymns and calypsos.  All except one are English language (marked with an *)  in general, the phrase is not the title of the song...  Full marks for identifying the song and the artist.  Winner will get something in the mail from me  

I look forward to seeing your responses.  I’ll publish the complete list on February 7.  Play on!


Title

Whole heap of zing

The essence of all

Dreaming of bigger things

The whole year through

O res mirabilis

Try to bridge the emptiness

Christmas changes too

You can read me anything

And a lots of work to be done

It wasn’t me...

Eat the dishes

Battle lines being drawn

A lifetime and the aftermath

Things you don’t understand

Between despair and ecstasy

She knows just what it takes...

Who am I to disagree?

One with no doubt

Dreaming is free

Walking in the shade of love*

Make my soul to glow and melt

Guard each one’s dignity

A lesson to learn...

Make that change

The people that you meet...

Words like knives

Good old days weren’t always

Something like a recipe

Never quite as it seems

Lucky to have been where I have been

Like an open highway

Used to be

Talkin with the grocery man

Fighting in our hearts

Food for peace

I get a little bit nervous

When I’m hungry, I eat.

Something I would never lose

The old time days...

This is the world we live in...

A magic island, full of magic people

The vision planted in my brain

The unbeatable foe

Live each living day

Know when to walk away

Much more than this...

Fall asleep counting my blessings

Somehow the rythm continued


For the first time...

Sick and tired of your ism schism games

The modren man (we all need control)

The wheel's still in spin

When you look behind you...

Where do they all belong

Turn and face the strange

I am woman

Girl, look at that body

Words all day

I don’t know how to write this today.  Just yesterday I wrote that my dad was improving and strong; today he passed out, could not be resuscitated and died shortly before 12:30 ECT/EDT.  We are all reeling in shock.  It seems that this morning he woke as usual, had his breakfast, followed his morning routine and then just… stopped.  My sister called for an ambulance which arrived quickly (We’re essentially across the street from the hospital) and they tried reviving him; he was rushed straight in on arrival, where they continued to work on him for over half an hour, but he never revived.  My siblings who were there were texting throughout so that we (in Canada) were kept updated.  They showed us his body after everything was over, and he looks peaceful.  Thankfully, he experienced no pain or discomfort, just fell into unconsciousness.  He’s been moved from the hospital morgue to the funeral home while we try to settle on his final arrangements.  It’s so surreal; he was arguing and prot

First of all, happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating.  I wish your families peace and light in this season of miracles!  The first menorah candles were lit at sunset in City Hall today, and on the Hill, so I add my wishes to all of those.  It was bitterly cold today again, all of -18 when I had to head off to my appointment.  It’s also a record-setting day in Ottawa; we’ve had 59 consecutive hours of snowfall this week and it looks like it wants to try to break that record already.  It was the little fine, driving snow, which blows hard but doesn’t accumulate quickly; it’s dry enough to be brushed off, but the wind makes up for that!  Jerry curled up in my lap, shivering, and wouldn’t move on the way home.  Don was a superstar, taking me to the hospital and waiting… they told me it would be about an hour, but the chemo unit was running a bit late, plus there was all the fun of them saying that they didn’t have my blood work, so lots of excitement.  It worked out well, and I was about

The surprise!

Gee, I look like my mom in this photo.  Although I suppose that I look like her anyway, but it stands out more here.  I’ll get more into this in a minute, I need to fill you in on other stuff.  First off, the weather is busy being Ottawa winter grey and gloomy, so it’s not encouraging in the slightest.  Dark when you wake up, overcast during the day, dark early… no wonder Jerry doesn’t want to be away from people and cuddles!  He’s perfectly happy to sit on a lap and be stroked when he’s not rampaging around playing with his toy!  Don didn’t sleep too well last night; according to him, he ‘missed his cue’ to go to bed and was awake for hours watching… yes, you guessed it!  He napped a little this morning, but I hope he’ll get a better rest tonight.  Although it’s Saturday, and that means… 🏒 and tomorrow is 🏈 so I’ll just dive into a book somewhere. Yesterday I went in to the hospital to do my blood transfusion.  There was a mixup… I got there and called for a porter and a wheelchair,
