Island Life
… But to be fair
You wanted to get away from it all!

“Shiver me timbers
For I am getting sober
Pass another bottle
And we’ll go full throttle!”

“Aargh!
Pirates we’ll be
Nothing will stop us you see!
We are tough and loud
Even Mom would be proud
Our daily fishing now is done
It’s time to drink, dance and have some fun!”

Nostalgia
Ah, Nostalgia
That sense of euphoria
Would even impress Gloria
When you are remembering
The “good old days”…

Tom Hardy
Living in Suburbia for Daily Photo
(Living in America lyrics by James Brown)
You might have to walk the fine line,
You might take the hard line
But everybody’s workin’ overtime
Livin’ in Suburbia-eye to eye, station to station
Livin’ in Suburbia-hand to hand,across the nation
Livin in Suburbia-got to have a celebration

“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons” T. S. Eliot
Coffee makes the world go around
Coffee
Makes the world go around,
The world go around,
The world go around
Nothing is a more sweeter sound
But the spoon makes a clinking sound
When in the coffee cup
Swirling around

World Wide Wednesday in Kos Island
“Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop
Dirty Laundry
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
-“Dirty Laundry” Don Henley

Resting place

“Welcome to Suomenlinna!
No, this is not Vienna
Or even Sienna!
What you found,
While looking around
Is this little fortress
On this island gorgeous
Near the Helsinki city
So get busy
Enjoy our style
And stay a while!”
