Summer Trip Part 1

I just got back from my trip home for a week and I thought I would share some photos. Today I'm sharing some pics of Marblehead lighthouse in Marblehead Ohio. Also a song written about the light by great lakes balladeer Lee Murdock, Called Deep Blue Horizon.

Oh I was born a long time ago

when this nation was new

and wild was the shore

and over the years

I have seen many things

while preforming my daily routine

in the wind and the snow

in the fog and the rain

its a constant vigil that I have maintained

and threw it all

my light had to be trained

out across the deep blue horizon

chorus:

I’ve seen the tall ships that have passed by the shore

the side wheeled steamers the whale backs and more

the passenger packets the south bound loaders

and even those noise cigarette boaters

but all that I ask is don’t let me go blind

let my light continue to shine

I have seen the long faces of prisoners in gray

bound for Johnson’s island in sandusky bay

and lovers and familys out on holiday

enjoying the deep blue horizon

and I’ve seen the lake water

turn from clear to green

from pure to putrid and

then back to clean

watch the sky grow dark

from the black beating wings

of the geese on the yearly migrations

chorus

I’ve seen many great storms that have pasted by this way

black Friday and 13 and the armistice day

and the big ones that took the Carl Bradly away

the morel and the Edmund Fitzgerald

and I've seen the rum runners

to many to name

cast shadows on the waves

from the light of this flame

and all the day sailors

out staking there claim

all the way to the deep blue horizon

chorus x2

there were many like me

who have passed on in time

their lights where extinguished

while still in their prime

and a few are remembered

in verse and in rhyme

but most are a mere recollection

there's so few of us left now

along the lake shore

and our salt water cousins

have the same fate in store

were all sentries of safety

just casting our light

from the past to the deep blue horizon

we've seen the tall ships as they passed by these shores

the side wheeled steamers the whale backs and more

the passenger packets the south bound loaders

and even those noise cigarette boaters

but all that we ask is don’t let us go blind

let our light continue to shine

and all I should ask is don’t let them go blind

let those lights continue to shine

Mr. Rogers Remixed thanks PBS!

This was an awesome flash back to my childhood. Now i want to go on a trolley ride to the neighborhood of make-believe.

New coaster in my life

This month for the first time i had the opportunity to ride Cheetah Hunt a triple launch coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa. It's such a well designed coaster I have to add it to my top 5 list. I'm not sure the order so stay tuned but here are a few pics of this awesome ride.

Board Game Review: Zombie in my Pocket

Zombie in my pocket is a amazing and fun print and play game for one player. It takes about 10 mins to learn and 10 mins to play. The player places tiles reveling rooms in a house and its yard while fighting off a zombie horde in an attempt to stop them before they stop you. The game mechanics are fun and easy to pick up. As you reveal a room you then have to play a card that will allow you to get an item or fight some zombies. as you play threw the deck time slips away. every time you have to shuffle the deck a hour passes, three hours pace and you lose that is unless you can find the totem and ditch it in the backyard graveyard. In short this game is fun fast takes up half the size of a tv tray to play on and the size of a credit card in storage space. I highly recommend it to anyone and if you don't like zombies there are several other versions people have made like pirates and meeples in my pocket. you can find the game at the link below.
