Dido's Lament - Annie Lennox

 So beautiful, so emotional...
 

The words, from Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas (1688):

 

When I am laid, am laid in earth,

May my wrongs create

No trouble, no trouble

in thy breast;

When I am laid, am laid in earth,

May my wrongs create

No trouble, no trouble

in thy breast;

Remember me, remember me,

but ah!

forget my fate.

Remember me, but ah!

forget my fate.

Remember me, remember me,

but ah!

forget my fate.

Remember me

but ah!

forget my fate.

Bird.

 

Yay Sports!

OK, I think we've got to get serious now about finding a name for the DC NFL team; the cheers of "Go football team!" are beginning to sound silly. Here are some obvious, and quite good and catchy, choices:

-- The Washington Bureaucrats

-- The DC Deep-Staters

-- The Washington Establishment

-- The DC Swamp

-- The Washington Fighting Lobbyists

-- The Waste Fraud & Abuse

-- The Embattled Political Appointees

-- The Washington Unnamed Sources

Gobble, Gobble...

Thanksgiving Jitters

Wilson, our darling little house-turkey, always gets a bit nervous this time of year and requires additional attention and soothing.

Allaying Any Concerns

Just to let y'all know, all is well here in HamsterLand, except that my blog muse has gone on vacation.  Can't think of anything to write.  Oh well... no cause for alarm, merely a case of blog block.

Weather

We're having a bout of that lovely DC weather.  It's 69ºF, dew point is 68º.  Cool, clammy, and you can't help but sweat, despite the temperature.  Blech!!!

Normalcy Begins to Raise Its Ugly Head

I am most pleased to announce that I have now started reading and watching the news again! It's been about 2 years, I think. I just couldn't take it anymore. Now Trump's pathetic floundering only makes me giggle.

Birthday

Much to my delight, I have managed to avoid plagues and assassins 

for yet another year.  You may congratulate me on this achievement.  ❤️

A very therapeutic 2-hour walk through AH's favorite swamp.
