Doris Day: QUE SERA, SERA

When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

When I was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher, "What will I try?
Should I paint pictures"
Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

When I grew up and fell in love.
I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows
Day after day?"
Here's what my sweetheart said:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

Now I have Children of my own.
They ask their mother, "What will I be?"
Will I be handsome?
Will I be rich?"
I tell them tenderly:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be.
Que Sera, Sera!"

Police - WALKING ON THE MOON
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away, no way
And if its the price I pay, some say
Tomorrows another day, you'll stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away no way
And if its the price I pay, some say
Tomorrows another day, you'll stay
I may as well play

Got up, blah blah. Cycled to work. The narrow gates I can now cruise through at speed. My only problem is that the bike chain has a tendency to come off, lately. I get oil on my hands putting it back on. Just missed a lorry as I turned right to go into work - love the adrenaline. I am even getting some smiles back off the laaaadieeees (and I don't mean Scottish for lads) as I cycle along the cycle path. I so hate the poker faces that some people put on as they TRUDGE to work. I hale everyone with a nod (and a smile for the ladies).

Autumn is on its way.

The journey home was uneventful, though I did pour the speed on and got home in around 10 minutes. Which is pretty good since I cycled through the centre of town in rush hour traffic. I missed 2 cars, 1 bus(where I had to stop and replace the chain), 2 pedestrians; the chain came off again and I managed to put it back on while cycling and then cut across oncoming traffic to get onto the cycle track.

When I got home I had a meal and then sorted out the bike (I hope). I greased the chain and cogs. I found a bike that had been dumped near my house. I climbed, gingerly and with forward motion (to protect the groin strain) the 3m fence (with vicious spikes, which cut my right palm). The bike had a cycle guard - that was all I required. I quickly took it off, back over the fence,and placed it, not easily, back onto my bike.

Meanwhile, the lil guy, C3 and C2 and the neighborhood kids played in both gardens. They then went on to swapping cars. Then I introduced them to chalk and suggested they create roads.
It's funny hearing the lil guy asking the same type questions I used to ask as an 11 year old.

I remember asking the art teacher, "How do I draw a mirror?".
The Art teacher replied, "What do you see?"
I replied, "Silver".
He, getting frustrated, said "What do you see!"
At the time, I could not genuinely see what he was trying to get me to see, and replied "silver".
He gave up.

The lil guy asked me, "How do I draw a road?"
I responded, "What do you see on a road?"
C2 said, "Lines."
So I drew some dotted lines.
He immediately placed some cars next to the lines.
I asked, "What else does a road have?"
He quickly suggested, "TRAFFIC LIGHTS!".
I said, "Uhm, yes. Now traffic lights stick up and are hard to draw on a flat surface so we have to draw them at an angle". So I did and he colored the top one red, followed by the other two...also red :) .
I then added the sides of the road. He played a little while and then asked me how to draw a bridge.
I asked him what bridge does and to imagine how a bridge looks from a helicopter. He drew a beautiful line across the the road. My work was done, the world was safer, mankind would flourish, the timelines were now forced along a line that would lead to mankinds emergence as a transcendental force of nature and the big crunch would be avoided - and STARBUCKS would be phased out of existence over the next 3 years! All this as a result of a blue chalk bridge. Pretty amazing shit!

And Lisa...would remain as Lisa. Immutable, exclusive and repetitive.
