Lips v. Mouth
Dear Open-Mouthed and Willing Lipped,
This is a very compelling discussion of the meaning of words, which relates to some recent readings posted here at the Dodo. It's got me thinking a lot about the *difference between lip and mouth. Lips frame a mouth, but maybe not a message? A word? Voice is not lips, that seems sure. Do you convince with your lips, your mouth, your mind? Do you rule with your thoughts, your words, or your stern glance? Shall woke women now use 'mouthstick' to avoid being doormats and wallflowers?
*Don't give me no lip. Enough of your smart mouth. Hmm.
PS This, on the history of the bottle cap opener.

Good Fortune
Dear Lady Luck,
The subject of my extreme good fortune has been spoken of on these pages many times, and my streak continues. I am in the lucky acquaintance of a bevy of fabulous, charming, and creative women. These are women that write their own scripts, make their own rules and worlds, and I can't tell you how terrific it is to be in the glow of their aureolae.
Here is an example of their wonderfulness; a band; Arthur Watership. Give it a listen; you'll be glad you did!

All of it is yours and mine.
Dear Riders,
Here is your song for the day, in one and two versions. I adore this galloping tune and the hammering, repeated lyrics. It's perfection. The chords are easy, so give it whirl on your rhythm guitar.
PS
Yes, darlings, that is David Bowie la la la la la la la la-ing.
