While in Wasaga last week, I noticed someone had done something with more or less the same kinda' patio stone layout I had to work with.

What could have been about 15 dull stones arranged in one flat square, was made interesting by taking out the middle ones - about 9 of 'em. Then they dug a hole and bordered same hole with rocks the size of volleyballs.

What did they put in the hole? Scrap branches, etc. I thought it might have been for a fire at first, until I noticed their fire patch was a few feet to the side.

If I'm here on this lot next spring, I might keep that in mind.

I kinda' like what I've done with them now, but I liked that better.

Oh, wait'll Jeff hears he might be movin' a few of those patio stones back - hee hee!

If ya' wanna keep a man,
Keep 'im busy . . .

Who said that? Bessie Smith? Janis Joplin? No - Janis said 'don't treat one man too well'. She said a lotta' things but she's not sayin' too much these days, eh?

Oh, well - who wanted to look at an old Janis Joplin anyway.

Love Janis (hey, ain't that the name of the show?), but not to look at!

Well, I've got the Kozmic Blues (love Janis too) because you didn't take a picture. That sounds so neat. Gotta go work hard all my life time. No help from my friends.

I look somethin' like her and when I sing my voice sounds just like hers.

Even if I sing a Patsy Cline number, I sound like Janis.

I was in 'performance' groups for a few years and started practicing on Janis. It worked out well - I'm sure Janis was getting inside me and singing - I felt chilled when I got through Ball and Chain (I did that best of all). It was like a ghost possessed me.
