Ubi panis ibi patria

One evening he spoke. Sitting at her feet, his face raised to her, he allowed his soul to be heard. “My darling, anything you wish, anything I am, anything I can ever be… That’s what I want to offer you — not the things I’ll get for you, but the thing in me that will make me able to get
them. That thing — a man can’t renounce it — but I want to renounce it — so that it will be yours — so that it will be in your service — only for you.”

The girl smiled and asked: “Do you think I’m prettier than Maggie Kelly?”

He got up. He said nothing and walked out of the house. He never saw that girl again. Gail Wynand, who prided himself on never needing a lesson twice, did not fall in love again in the years that followed.

I Only have eyes for you -- This has got to one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. I was such a nerdy kid. Had a crush on this girl in the first grade who only listened to the oldies station B101 -- Providence (i think they’ve changed their format since, I’ts been years since I’ve been in Providence.)  Growing up thats all I ever listened to. Could also why they called me ‘old man’ in junior high.

Anyway -- I enjoy Doo Wop and Motown a lot. Always have, Always will. So I’m sharing this great track with you tonight, on Bataan Day. Anniversary of the Bataan Death March. I’m sure the many who died had missed their sweet hearts while being marched on down from San Fernando to Bataan. May God Bless their souls.

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can’t see anyone but you.

Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.

The moon maybe high
but I can’t see a thing in the sky,
‘Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.

I don’t know if we’re in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.

You are here
So am I
Maybe millions of people go by,
but they all disappear from view.
And I Only Have Eyes For You.

you gotta love Pearl Jam, I know I do
