So long child, I'm on my way And after all is done, after all is done Don't be down, it's all in the past Though you may be afraid So long child, it's awful dark And I've never felt the sun I dread to think of when When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away You'll take him home You'll spit and taunt him But they won't believe you No matter what you'll say So long child, it's awful dark I never felt the sun I dread to think of when When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows

Agh, ignore the stupid bird noises...Music and lyrics by Stephan NanceWhispering through your window,Whistling through windWay back whenTea for twoAnd two for teaWas all we knew,And all we’d ever need.I’ll admitThat at this timeI’m simply not preparedTo say I could be wrong.That in the endIt may not be you play too much;Perhaps it’s that I never play along.Stairs and stairs and stairs—I start to feel surrounded by the stars;But whistling and whispering myself away to youWon’t get me very far.Time and time again I tell myselfTo touch you tentatively.Already I’m awkwardly attachedAnd any day now I mightAsk you to go steady with me.I would sell my soul to youFor a sand dollar,But it would kill me to cudgel youWith caveats and keep you on a leash.I don’t knowWhat’s wrong with me;It’s just so hard for meTo see things differently.If there were a surgeryTo change my mindYou know I’d do it happily.As it is,I’ll keep trying.I’ll just keep trying.I’m a puzzle even to myself;I’m sorry, I’m sorry.Sometimes I have no idea how I’m supposed to act;I’m sorry.I’ll admitThat at this timeI’m simply not preparedTo say I could be wrong.That in the endIt may not be you play too muchPerhaps it’s that I never play along.I’ll keep trying,But I’ll understand if you can’t.And if you can’t,I’ll keep trying.

AK Camino. This is Camino's second ride in something over three years, it could even be close to four. I thought she did very well indeed considering her second ride was outside amongst horses, playing children, cars and other scary things.And yes, I know I do not look fantastic in the saddle, I can count how many times I've ridden in the last fourteen years on one hand.I still say, Camino is a true credit to the people who raised and trained her. She was purchased from Colors of the Wind Farm (www.colorsofthewindfarm.com)

The latest barrage of polling data more or less all comes to one conclusion -- the race is over. Obama has made massive inroads into McCain's once-reliable base, and a massive break-away of independents and undecideds is inevitable; both in state by state battlegrounds and, more importantly, the electoral college and the race to 270. According to Gallup Daily, the latest trends show that Obama has expanded his lead among registered voters to +11. While that may not be surprising given the pol
