UPDATE: About an hour later, I'm thinking about what I wrote and it struck me that I fucked up. So...here's the song and lyric. I should have done my due-diligence but, noooooo, I gotta act like I know evvvvvvery thing.
Remembering You
by Roger Kellaway and Carroll O'Connor Got a feelin' it's all over now - All over now, we're through.
And tomorrow I'll be lonesome, Remembering You.
Got a feelin' the sun will be gone - The day will be long and blue.
And tommorrow I'll be cryin', Remembering You.
There'a a far away look in your eye when you try to pretend to me,
That everything is the same as it used to be.
I see it's all over now - All over now, we're through.
And tomorrow I'll be startin' Remembering You.
Sorry 'bout that...It seemed easier to insert an update than lie about being right.

Anyhow...I've been thinking about you, the occasional drop-by reader, the one who makes me want to come back and post. If it weren't for you, I'd just be another guy talkin' to himself....if you see what I mean.
Anyhow...here's the thing....I read "Path to Glory". You -have- to read this book. It's a wonderful story. It doesn't read like any genre I know of. It's not a huge story like "Hunt for Red October", which was also a novel novel. It doesn't deal with esoterica like "Pillars of the Earth" did in it's unique way. I can't describe it without maybe lessening the joy you'll find in this thing. If you're a Brit or Aussie you might take especial pleasure from this story as it features national heroes of both countries. It's the story of George Mallory.
Go read it. Trust me.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we find our hero waiting out the crowds so that he can take his family into town on/in their family buckboard to see the new re-imagined "Star Trek". Our hero has high hopes for this event. He also has low expectations of doing this for less than $100. Going to the movies ought not be an occasion for taking out a second mortgage, doncha think?
In other news...life is good in sunny California. The vines have come all a twitter with new tendrils and they're all doing their very best impression of a Chia pet. There seems to be fewer illegal tourists around at the moment but that could be because they're concerned with swine flu or something. Or maybe they're off doing other work that Americans won't do, spending money Americans won't spend and, thus, saving America for the next wave of illegal tourists.
I'm pretty sure that I like Mexicans. They're Irish without the drinking problem is all. I'm a "Black Irishman" after all and so they might be cousins on top of it too.
Just so you know...I don't think I've done a complete blog-slog in weeks. I drop by several sites during the day but I haven't hit everyone in God-know-how-long. So...if you're feeling Upton-deprived, don't take it personally...there's a lot of that going around. But I'm workin' on it.
I'm still lickin' my wounds. They're still fatal but crusting up nicely...thanks for asking.
Until next time, America...I remain...
Mr. Upton Ogood
