Study, study, study...

Well, my aunt and uncle got back from their trip to central Florida today... how great it is to see them... got a chance to see some of their family as well... (my Aunts daughter and family...) My Uncle is the greatest family man known to man... he's just the greatest... he's a psychologist, so he's a good listener, but he just has this knack for making people feel at home, and just welcoming everyone... we swam, talked, swam, talked, drank a glass of wine, listened to Creedence Clearwater Revival, swam some more, then retired for the evening.  Am I really going to be here for X more weeks?  What a great respite from the school I'm in every day... the funny thing is, when I was in flight school in Pensacola, they opened their home up to me then as well... just great people.  Well, I should go to sleep... work comes in 7 hours... really??  My thought for the day... 'Fortunate Son' by CCR, is by definition, the greatest song known to man... at least for today... read the lyrics... what a great song!  I can't say it's me... but, I can definitely connect with it:

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no senators son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no,

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, dont they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no millionaires son, no.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give? 
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, one.

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate one, no no no,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate son, no no no,
