TITLE TUNE BY JIMMY BUFFETT



I promised on Thursdays that I would post the Jimmy Buffett song for your weekend listening and this week it is the one that this blog is named after, "A Pirate Looks At Forty".  Both Jimmy and I have are way past forty now, but it still rings true for whatever age you are.

My favorite line: "I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away too fast".  

Enjoy your weekend!!!

WIND


Her mom was screaming and seeing things that weren't there. Her dad was distressed and the doctor came. She was very scared.

The next day supposed to sail; dad said go. On the boat hoisting the sails, tension was less. As the sails filled and the wind became a partner with the sailors, her tension eased away. The boat zigged and zagged on tacks across the bay and her only world was the boat and her friends.

On the breach and run toward home, the wind pushed them and the spinnaker filled. The wind whispered to her, "just be".
