ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Thanks UNCLE ANDY for a great SONG - by a Great SINGER and a great TRIBUTE to MLK. Thanks for sharing with us the great void in your life 24/7 due the fact that your beloved wife JOYCE - although present in the BODY - due to ALZHEIMERS - SHE is in essence not THERE ! I have some experience of Couples on my Home visit list for PHYSIO and it is very very tragic. The person they knew & loved for all their married life has disappeared. One can only comfort them and PRAY with them to reduce the heartache ! You are in all our thought and PRAYERS - AMEN

Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN

She may not be there, Goldie, but every line in your poem shows that the love is there. And in the end, that is all that matters!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

THANKS UNCLE ANDY ~ For a fine tribute to a fine GAME ! Because of the high points awarded (unlike SOCCER) SEVEN (for a converted TRY) and THREE for penalties & Drop Kicks which all go over the BAR scores of 100+ are not uncommon ! Whereas in SOCCER a score of 10 or more makes HISTORY ! Like the recent Cup Game between Liverpool & Arsenal (usually so defensive) after a PEN shootout Liverpool (of course) won on agregate 10 : 9 ! There is no rhyme or reason in RU results (Angela is still supporting NEW ZEALAND) NZ beat RSA we beat NZ a priori we should have beaten RSA but they hammered us ! Im glad ANGELA talked me out of paying £11,000 for a flight ~ hotel and a seat next to Prince Harry ! However we had a Wedding in the Peak District on Saturday and listening to the BIG MATCH on the Car Radio would have been very third class ! So we went on FRIDAY NIGHT to the Premier Inn near DERBY and watched the Match on the BIG Screen ! There were no Springboks staying @ the Hotel so were shared the humiliation of defeat with 30 others who (mercifully ~ no Scots Welsh or Irish) were all England Supporters ! Some of the Ladies were in TEARS and none of us ordered an AMARULA ! As you say we*ll have to wait another four YEARS but at least we got a SILVER and ANGELA a BRONZE for NZ ! Poor Wales (like England in the Soccer Cup) back to the VALLEYS with a wooden love spoon !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡

I suppose I should challenge you, Andy, to compose a poem to be set to the music of John Cage. Take a listen to his piece entitled 4\' 33\" which he composed (supposedly) in 1959, but I think he had been working on it for years. It doesn\'t really matter which version you hear they are all of equal musical prowess, however the rendering by David Tudor is the most revered.
I\'m trying not to be boastful when I say that I can actually play this piece blindfolded.

Ex animo, Alan

That an angle Andy
You could be on to something

Hmm, not sure I would agree here with all of this Gold. Yes, loving God and loving one another, as He said.

kevin browne said:

Ah, the unorhadox point of view against \'The First Hippie\'. Jesus would have been very proud smoking a joint on a daily basis from birth to his death. Hung upon his cross singing \'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life\'. to believe or not to believe now that is the question. Your message is very clear in your well described poem...
