all this talkin' round in circles hasn't got us anywhere

yep after a years worth of planning (and a beautiful color-coded itinerary!) we've made the decision to scrap this year's UK trip.

There are just too many signs saying this isn't the year.

So I looked up next in line for "best food in the Caribbean" and we're heading to Antigua/Nevis/St Kitts for 7 days instead! ( for the total cost of what would've been just the rt flight to/from the UK). 

I am a little disappointed,  but it's not for forever (hopefully) - and well... even if it is.... i can't complain too much.

There are so many places to see on this side too -


moving on - again the rage (and praise) erupts in my social media feed after the presidential address.

I swear even my car this morning wanted to voice it's opinion.
I have thousands of songs! I hadn't heard this one song, in can't remember how long -

but at this particular time. on this particular day. it said perfectly what I think (but couldn't have possibly said so succinctly). 

Thanks Matt Hilyer (in this case)-
Music ( and my car)  is awesome:


All this talkin' round in circles hasn't got us anywhere, 
We've been travellin down this road so long that we don't even care, 
I cut the palm of my hand and the blood comes tricklin' down, 
You stand there in disbelief and you don't make a sound, 
I turn and try to reach and pull the knife out from my back, 
While you take the opportunity to stage your next attack, 
I just can't win for losin in this game.

Remember back in the day when we were friends, 
If you follow where the money goes you can see where it ends, 
And now you want to talk about respect and loyalty, 
I never thought that money'd get the best of you and me, 
You're countin beans in the corner and you still don't make a sound, 
While I'm givin mine away hopin they'll come back around, 
I still can't win for losin' just the same

No one can say, 
Who is right who is wrong, 
It's just the way it's been done for so long, 
Rich man gets richer, 
While the poor stays the same, 
Can't win for losin in this game
