Yesterday was the eve of 2013 and I had some driver tests to conduct. One of my clients, a man about 50 years old, mentioned to me as we were rolling along over the US131 bridge that "I'm really worried bout that physical cliff. The price of everything is going to go up - food - drink - gas. And taxes are really going to go up." I asked Walter what he did for work and he replies, "Oh, a little of this and a little of that." So much for the tax worry.
Because I was fighting some type of illness I didn't have the energy or desire to ask Walter if he realized that who we vote for has actual consequences. I woke up feeling much better today and decided to have a positive attitude about the coming year. The following song came to me while taking my morning shower. It was composed by Sammy Cohn, written by Jimmy Van Heus and first sung by Frank Sinatra in 1959. In the shower my version sounds just as good.
High Hopes
Once there was a silly old ant
who thought he'd move a rubber tree plant.
But everyone knows an ant, can't
move a rubber tree plant
But he has High Hopes
He has High Hopes
He has high - in the sky - apple pie hopes
So when you start feelin' low
instead of lettin' go
just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Once there was a silly old ram
who thought he'd butt a hole in the dam
Someone should tell that ram, scram!
You can't butt a hole in the dam
Be he has High Hopes
He has High Hopes
He has high - in the sky - cherry pie hopes
So when you start feelin' low
instead of lettin' go
just remember that ram, BAM!
Oops there goes another hole in the
Oops there goes another hole in the
Oops there goes another hole in the dam.
