Geocaching and A Great Song

So at lunch today I tried to run over and do a quick cache. Didn't work because of the snow on the ground. However, there were some deer just hanging out in the thicket that we were looking in. It was pretty cool. I have my Garmin at work and everyonce in a while I'm going to go caching. I have a friend here that has one too so we are going to go on lunches and find a few here and there. It'll be fun.

A great song... Kenny Rogers is one of the best story singers, my own term, I think there is. He tells a great story in his songs. The Greatest, The Gambler, well a new song of his, called The Last Ten Years is about what the last ten years has brought us. It's a good song. It has a subtitle because every time he sings the chorus it's different minus the line, "We even lost Superman" and the last time he says "Gonna miss you. Chris..." It's a pretty good song to cover the last ten years in memories and important figures in our world. Here's the lyrics


Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite trip
Over thirty-six-hundred spins around without a cosmic slip
But within the realm of our atmosphere
We're 'bout as out of whack as we've ever been in a million years
We watched the Y2K scare in a panic
An' we watched as time proved Nostrodamus wrong
An' we watched as Mother Nature shook the planet
An' cellular replaced the telephone
We lost Charlie Brown, Ray Charles an' Johnny Cash
We even lost Superman, mhm.

Well, the last ten years, look at the hills we've climbed
The best golfer's black, the best rapper's white an' it's about damn time
But we best beware, there's a brand new fight, you see
An' I hate to say we might be our own worst enemy
We watched Oklahoma sifting through the damage
An' we watched a US President get caught
We watched shareholders watch their savings vanish
We all cried when we watched those towers fall
We lost Minnie Pearl, Ron Reagan and Sam I Am
We even lost Superman, mhm.

Expensive gas an' free downloads
The dot-com boom, an' reality shows
What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess
Satellite radio and hybrid cars
Hand-held computers an' a trip to Mars
It's all become a part of who we are
In the last ten years.

In the last ten years
We lost George Harrison, John Paul and June Carter-Cash
Hell, we even lost Superman
Gonna miss you. Chris...
