Friday hymnal

A nasty case of the flu preceded by a couple of hectic and frustrating days had me out of the game for more of this week than I could afford.

But, as I was beginning to succumb to the fever, my Itunes mix popped out with this little slice of inspiration. Although Mrs. Peg prefers the Sinatra version, I say that you can't mess with Soul Brutha Number One.

And, as I'm getting back at it today, the chorus has been ringing in my head:

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself   flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
