A great notion

I love baseball
A game played on green grass w finesse
Its fun
I pitch - I still do
against a few friends aound
I even love to watch baseball
Its outside a lot of green around

I love fishing
Its outside- a lot of green around
Fly fishing is finesse
Sometimes a few good friends around

I can't watch baseball anymnore
as my fav team - the Mets - really suck
I guess this means I will have to fish , play bb ,play music more and spend
more time w my family
Is this good? I do not know - probably.

It beats thinking about the state of our country and the economy
It beats thinking about politics
It beats working

"Sometimes I live in the city
Siometimes I lives in a town
and sometimes I get a great notion
To jump in the river and drown"

Fine movie, too, one of Newman's best -- though the studio renamed it
something stupid and it's hard to find (not on netflix for example.....)

It was a real good movie and I cannot - rembemer either what they re-named
it.
I think that there was a lawsuit w Ken Kesey.

However it originally came from a song by Elizabeth Cotten sung by Huddie
Ledbetter.
aka Leadbelly

Originally called "Sometimes a Great Notion," like the book and the song
lyrics. Renamed, oh, let me Google here...... ah.... "Never Give an
Inch". Henry Fonda and Lee Remick along with Newman.

(P.S.: Thunderbird's spell checker suggests "sadists" instead of "asadi"....)

Really? I've never seen it with that title. Still shown occasionally by
orig title, Sometimes a Great Notion. Look for on TCM, AMC, FMC.

Dogwoods and azaleas ? Arkansas, parhaps?

We were just there over the weekend for the opening festival in Mt.
View. Lots of music and pickin'.
Stopped at the North Fork of the White just below Norfork dam for a
couple days on the way down. Caught a number of nice 'bows and browns
and a 16 in. brookie -- largest in at least 25 years for me.

And the dogwoods and redbuds were spectacular.
