Got nice comments over at Quills for this so I am reposting here...

The prompt was to choose any song and use it for inspiration so I picked Neil Young's "Helpless" after hearing K.D. Lang sing it.
"Helpless"

Tom Tompson paints northern Ontario like nobody's business!


There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless.

the basement...

the Opera:Something by Pucinni...(I have duck feet.)
Got the grout done, my left knee is now in the stretchy bandage...poor knee!
I have hit a road block as I can't get the metal strip off the tiles where the washer and dryer are.  ARGGGHHHH.

Choices:
1. should I leave the old?
2. stop being a pussy and just rip the stupid thing off with my teeth and then DO IT RIGHT
3. just ignore the strip and tile up to and around it?
