Let's go on a bike trip to the country
Take a picnic basket full of delectables
Let us lay on top of a red plaid blanket
I'll feed you nice round green grapes
You can tell me how much you love my eyes
I can pour us a flute of Dom Perignon to share
You'll say how graceful I am and kiss me gently
I'll push the hair out of your eyes and tell you I love you
Then I'll let you kiss me again, as you lay by my side
Nose to nose we will stare into each other's eyes
All the while whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears
Let us take a bike ride out into the country.
I promise it will be worth your while.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.

Dear Step-Mom - Love those Balloon Bike whitewalls - I used to clean mine with a scouring pad. I'd so 'insane' if they were muddy! Your stories always bring back lovely memories. I would goof-on Rita Louise when we rode a bicycle built for (2) by sitting in back with my feet up and not peddling - Fun reach back, Mom - * As you, Joe and I, have spoken about. I've decided to 'Insert' a non A.I. story that I've written into the 'History' section tonight. Sniper's beware! Hmm! You are a wonderful StoryTeller between Batches J-Bud
