Posted by Cliff (cbeepa1) on 1/15/2007, 6:29 am Oh, what a beautiful mornin', All the cattle are standin' like statues, Oh, what a beautiful mornin', All the sounds of the earth are like music, Oh, what a beautiful mornin', Hola all you expatriate patriots, Another workweek, another week without work...Actually, moving counts for about a year's work so Alice and I are paid up until next year...We have paid our dues...Still fine tuning the new homestead but enjoying every minute of it...This is a user friendly casa and has simplified our daily existence...Let's see...Water the yard: 5 minutes a week...Take out the trash: 3 minutes a day...Furball food and water dishes: 3 minutes a day...Alice does the first clothes wash now (her choice) and Lupita does the rest...Alice even does most of the dishes now (her choice)...I do the daily shopping: 30 minutes a day max...I'm still inside of an hour and enjoying the rest of the 23 hours by doing as little as possible...A little bill paying at Siapa, Megacable, Telmex and CFE: 30 minutes total each month if the lines are small...I do mail off two payments stateside each months: 10 minutes...Oh how I love my job...And to think I was in the 'rat race' once upon a time, Talbot tie, Brook's Bros. suit, Florsheim's, cuff-links and all...Cell phones and pagers have taken most of the fun away from working now but I must say that 99% of my years pullng the plow were before these devices made it impossible to escape when out in the 'territory'...When I left the house in my fairly new company car and my bag full of donut holes and my filled 32oz Beacon Service Station coffee mug, I was truly gone from those glass tower individuals commonly called 'da bosses'...Pull up alongside a mailbox at 4:00pm every weekday and mail off a sales-report and I was home free, literally and figuratively...I worked incommunicado...I loved it...I was also a darned good salesman who always made more than his daily, weekly, monthly and yearly quotas...Once in a great while they would send a supervisor to work with me for a day but these days were few and far between... Yesterday was another stay and play at home day with Alice making us a wonderfully delicious tuna salad with all the trimmings...Just what the tummy ordered...More of that new found coconut ice cream and a couple more of those Chip's Ahoy cookies constituted our daily dessert... I hope that I might have the pleasure of your company this morning at Vip's as I have lots to talk about and would love to do it in english, por favor...See ya??? Hope so!!! Cheerio and adios, Cliffardo

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky.
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I got a beautiful feelin'
Ev'rything's goin' my way.
All the cattle are standin' like statues,
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by,
But a little brown mav'rick is winkin' her eye.
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I got a beautiful feelin'
Ev'rything's goin' my way.
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And a ol' weepin' willer is laughin' at me!
Oh, what a beautiful day,
I got a beautiful feelin'
Ev'rything's goin' my way.
Oh, what a beautiful day.
