Thanks for volunteering. Oh and it was not my idea to add the deaths, Green (my tagger) did it first!!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday AM!
Don Quixote.....my favorite song by Gordon Lightfoot.
I had no idea Popeye had been around that long! See I learn something every time I come here.
Muhammad Ali....Damn I miss the old Ali boxing days. those were the best. Have you seen his life story? It was on one of the cable channels.
Hi BG - your face on my site, good for the imagination I must say!!
It's all your fault!!
I had to get my friend Google to remind me of that one Andy!!
Popeye and Muhammad Ali, both great in their own way hey??!
Yeah it was on over here as well, some life hey?
Sting like a butterfly, float like a bee - who could help but love Ali.
I'll do this one at some point soon. :-)
Enjoy your evening!

No excuses but you are the only person that regularly comes on here from a time difference ahead of me!! Sometimes I don't have the time to read the answers to the comments!!
That's absolutely beautiful.....thank you!
The Gary Gilmore thing still isn't as spooky as if it were a shared birthday with Gary Glitter. "Wanna be in my gang?"
Hey, I'm going to add you to my sidebar soon, mate.
Hey thanks for dropping by! You're already on mine!!
I think Gary Gilmore is still mighty scary, Gary Glitter is just a sad paedophile! And all his records make me feel old! That's a crime in itself!!
do you float like a butterfly, sting like a bee?? haha
Oh jlee I can float but my sting is ever so sweet and gentle!!
