2. Hi Cher!!

how is your garden?:hi: I haven't seen you in ages!

[NJCher]

3. hi back!`

So glad to see you posting again!

My garden--not so good! :(

I'm working so much--just trying to keep pace in this horrible economy--that I haven't been able to do much. The only saving grace is that the garden is 12 years old and a lot of stuff self-seeds. I do have about 40 heirloom tomato plants going in this week, though!

I don't garden so much now either.If not for self seed and perennials I would be in trouble.

5. 'xept that I have Oh Fortuna in my Ipod

if you can find the translation to the lyrics. The fear goes away and it is ahem hysterical.

So I take issue with the GOP using a piece of classical music... and us playing along.

Yes, I will have a latte with that musical selection, thank you

Hell here it is

Latin and English translation.

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurate
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.
Fate - monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.

Fate is against me
in health
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the string man,
everyone weep with me!
