Tomorrow is the First Saturday in May which means only one thing to me:  The Kentucky Derby.  This year I’m with a bit of a long shot Black Onyx, but we shall see who wears the blanket of roses in the winner’s circle.

    Well, who couldn’t love Fugue For Tin Horns? And the Sting one–I hadn’t heard that one before, believe it or not. That’s my other fave this week.

    So…no free comic books for Jamie tomorrow? *wink*

About Me

Retired great grandmother living in the Northwest US. Former radio Public Service Director and National Accounts Manager.

I’m a hair-dishevelled heilan’ coo,
Hamish McKay be ma name;
Welcome tae this dreichet glen
I’m cursed tae ca’ ma hame.
Depending on the mood I’m in
I’ll raise ma horns on high,
An’ if I like the look o’ ye
I’ll likely let ye by.
But should I dinnae like the look
O’ ye, then tak great care,
I’ll raise ma horns on high again,
Go on, get oot o’there!
So whether welcome yae or nae,
I’ll raise these horns sae mean,
Then ye shall ken ma meaning
By the twinkle o’ ma een.
