They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
They think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think it's a total disgrace
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid
I come out grinnin'
I fight authority, Authority always wins
So I call up my preacher
I say, "Give me strength for Round 5."
He said , "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up son."
I said, "Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying
"And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun."

Heard this twice on the radio today. Maybe it's telling me something. Then again, maybe it's just coincidence. No matter.
The weekend was delicious. Woke up Sunday morning camped in the Shenandoah NP with my boys and the temp was in the forties! Hit the trail after breakfast and the day just kept getting better. Perfect sunshine, not a cloud in the sky, and very little haze (a rarity these days) made for gorgeous vistas as we hiked our circuit back to the car.
Got home with the tired but feeling great feeling and with mom being out of town, the boys and I had steak and fries for dinner. It doesn't get much better.
Then the weather today was almost a repeat! Yay!
Hope everyone has a great week.

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! Yeah, Pete is 85 this year, so it was kind of imperative that I get that autograph as soon as possible!

Shit, how awesome is that! That sounds like an amazing start to a week. I should take in one of those shows, but I might embarrass myself and cream all over everything. 
Be well. Later.
