When You Find You...

Just heard this song for the first time today...weird timing given the other stuff that is going on...


You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you

You say you're leaving as you look away
I know there's really nothing left to say
Just know I'm here whenever you need me I'll wait for you

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me

Take your time, I won't go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you

Oh and I'll let you go, I'll set your free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me

I can't get close if you're not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul there
I can't face you, I can't save you
It's something you'll have to do

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
Come back to me

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me

You find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me

Hurricane Irene 2...

This is our local hospital….take a minute and look at where the road should be – parking lots are just beyond that…

The mall that has a moat is very close to where I work….

Hurricane Irene…

As we started the prep for the hurricane, I was a bit pissed….ok, a lot pissed that the hurricane was ruining my weekend plans…

We sandbagged the garage closed (it goes in under the house), we tied the BBQ to the deck railing, we braved Shoprite and bought water and wine, we retrieved She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Blogged-About after securing her house, we pulled out all the candles and flashlights…..


And then we waited…..

We were lucky – the hurricane was not that bad for us…. She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Blogged-About was not happy about being out of her environment so that was pretty bad but there was nothing that could be done and we all suffered through it….

Then we saw the pictures of what had happened to our neighboring towns due to the flooding….

This is Route 287 - anyone that has visited me from the North has been on this stretch of road.
