Moving quickly to the 3:00 O'Clock hour and my next Music Interlude, I picked another good one by Don Henley formerly of the Eagles with a song titled "The End oF Innocence"! This is an outstanding song which I believe you will all enjoy!!!
The song basically takes one back to the time of innocence in our early to mid teen years and reflects on the real world scenario that we all take, but never forget those magic days of our youth... Take the time to read the Lyrics and I believe you will see what I am referring to...
"The End Of The Innocence"
Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence

Excellent song, I've been sprung so out the door shortly. Have been sitting around for our semiannual A/C maintenance this afternoon.

Having the A/C maintained is certainly a good idea in FL since you do more cooling that heating... I have to think about getting our HVAC system checked before fall...
