Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

"Wond'ring Aloud"

Jethro Tull was a early 70's rock and roll force, their 1971 album Aqualung perhaps their best. "Wond'ring Aloud" was stuck in the album as an anomalous love song, with simple acoustic guitar and accompaniment. The last line sums up today's post. "And its only the giving That makes you what you are."

Firefighters and supporters from around the world as far away as New Zealand are climbing Seattle's tallest building, the Columbia tower today to support the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society (just as our team will in two weeks.) The firefighters will wear their bunker gear and a big oxygen tank to complete this mission. They are giving back beyond expectations- I wish I could thank every one of the participants, what a great group of people... Yvonne and I are going to be there to wish the King County Airport Rescue Firefighters and all of the thousands of participants well at the start this morning, we hope you have a great Sunday.
