Cold, cold cold this morning. Luckily, I only picked up one pound from all the unrestrained eating and not exercising this weekend. But I know I need to get back on track and eat healthy starting this morning. Nothing sounds good. But cookies and chocolate! And I have to see my gyno this morning. My favorite doc appt of the year. NOT!!!!!!! Good thing is, I haven't seen her in a year, so she won't know I just gained a pound. She'll think I lost about 47. lol.Don't know if I will run today. I have so much to do to get ready for my GS meeting. I am really tired this morning for some reason. Hope the coffee kicks in soon. Giving myself an okay. It is still really early and things could go either way at this point.Okay, now I am really sad. Just heard the news that Dan Fogleburg passed away last night. I have always loved his music. Now this one will always make me cry.Leader of the BandAn only childAlone and wildA cabinet makers sonHis hands were meantFor different workAnd his heart was knownTo none --He left his homeAnd went his loneAnd solitary wayAnd he gave to meA gift I know I neverCan repayA quiet man of musicDenied a simpler fateHe tried to be a soldier onceBut his music wouldnt waitHe earned his loveThrough disciplineA thundering, velvet handHis gentle means of sculpting soulsTook me years to understand.The leader of the band is tiredAnd his eyes are growing oldBut his blood runs throughMy instrumentAnd his song is in my soul --My life has been a poor attemptTo imitate the manIm just a living legacyTo the leader of the band.My brothers lives wereDifferentFor they heard another callOne went to chicagoAnd the other to st. paulAnd Im in coloradoWhen Im not in some hotelLiving out this life Ive choseAnd come to know so well.I thank you for the musicAnd your stories of the roadI thank you for the freedomWhen it came my time to go --I thank you for the kindnessAnd the times when you got toughAnd, pap, I dont think iSaid i love you near enough --The leader of the band is tiredAnd his eyes are growing oldBut his blood runs throughMy instrumentAnd his song is in my soul --My life has been a poor attemptTo imitate the manIm just a living legacyTo the leader of the bandI am the living legacyTo the leader of the band.

I\'m not familiar with this man but I love the lyrics to this song. Hope the dr.s visit is great. Have a good day.
I had not heard that he passed away. I loved his music Especially \"another Auld Lang Syne\" I will have to dig out his CD and play it tonight. I think he will make another wonderful addition to that fabulous band in heaven.
I dont know him, either, I must look up some of his music on utube. Well done you for only putting on l lb!! with all that lovely fare...good luck with the docs appointment....hugzzzz to you...Cathrynn XXX
