On The Kimberlys

I talked (or should I say laughed) with an Australian woman today who was up in Alaska doing research on a duck that looks like a clown (at least the males do). She said she was going to do more research back in Australia. I would like to personally thank her for laughing at all my jokes. I hope I wasn't too much and that we didn't dwell too long in the gutter. I would also like to thank the Lord for the respite (brief though it may be). I appreciate it. Thank you both.

Though long the day and dark the night
And though I feel I've lost
When 'ere the last hour comes around
Someone takes the cost.

And when I think my strength will fail
And I cannot go on
You, my Lord, are strong to me
And sing to me my song.

I search the world and scour the seas
And find not one true boon
But when I fall upon my knees
You sing to me the moon.

Joe, I'm so glad you had a good day. I haven't had a day like that. It seems I've been working for the past 3 weeks straight with no break. I've been sick for like a month. I got your IM the other night, but I was out. Anyway, great poem and I'm glad you were blessed

The Kimberlys are in the north of Western Australia, in case anyone was wondering.
