Batten Down The Hatches, For I Have Discovered Facebook

So I broke down and signed up for Facebook about a week or so ago... and I am simply astounded at how many people I know from high school that are on there. More are emailing me almost every day. It's like the ten-year reunion, albeit six years late and we're scattered all over the place as opposed to being in some auditorium. If you're looking to find me on Facebook, I'm not the Minneapolis/St. Paul Jay Ramsperger.

Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 12 October 2K9

I had a friend, was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool, boy

Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about...

Glory days, well, they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days... glory days...

Well, there's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school, she could turn all the boys' heads
Sometimes on a Friday, I'll stop by and have a few drinks
After she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby, well, they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing, thinking about...

Glory days, yeah, they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days... glory days...

Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old, I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of
Well, time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister
But boring stories of...

Glory days, yeah, they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days... glory days...

Glory days, yeah, they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days... glory days...
