Darker Than Raindrops

darker than raindrops
mushroom cloud blooming purple....
I can see my bones

Agree with u on all points Gerard... the Jets have to come out striking and get on the board quickly... and maintain the lead... the Steelers just need to play bad..haha..I have a bet with my husband so I don't like to lose luv.. so am counting on them guys in green and white.. I heard Namath was twitting all day with sports guys encouraging the Jets players on...last time they won was Super Bowl III when JWN guaranteed a win.. and did ..luv..

I hope that your prediction does not come true..Enjoyed your work..Very creative on your part..Your interpertation of my work helped me get a laugh out of my own work..Saw a Cialis add then thought about so many people have to get artificial joints..Knee, hips, and I guess that are others..I know that there are all kinds of repairs on this and on that..So I go what if the Viagra works but the joint fails..Sara
