Hope you are all anticipating a relaxing Saturday.

This is an appropriate time to thank Mondo again for adding grumpy's name to the Honorable Graduates at the top of this board. This is grumpy's birth month and if my 'tribe' were here - they might remember that grumpy and I shared a love of Van Morrison. I think millions of people appreciate the music of Van Morrison - at least when I have posted his music on this and other boards there has been favorable feedback - COINS mentioned he loves the song 'Into the Mystic'. Some trivia - Song meanings are relative to the listener...yet Van Morrison himself has described many of his song lyrics as being about a spiritual quest. Van Morrison states that Into The Mystic is just about being part of the universe.

grumpy's favorite Van Morrison song - one he dedicated to all his children - of which I was honored to be one - was Have I Told You Lately. The background of this particular song is interesting, to me, in the respect that thousands think it is a love song - and it is often played at weddings. It was originally written as a prayer - a song about spiritual love and deep gratitude.

Happy heavenly birthday grumpy
