陪外公外婆打麻將

今日大家一起前往景美看外公外婆,因為外婆說身體不好.本來可能只是想讓她多休息,但她氣色似乎不錯,所以就邀外公外婆一起"打家庭麻將". 三代同堂,其樂融融.原來外公是第一次上桌,而且牌技,牌品一流,手氣也好,真今人羨慕.
防止老年痴呆,"麻將"應該是不錯的練習,而且又是老少咸宜的交流活動.下次有空不妨再來一次,向外公外婆領教領教...

Piano man by Billy Joel

I've been loving this song for a long time... Enjoy it... Billy tell the story about the people who were in the bar at a Saturday night...


YouTube: Billy Joel-Piano Man

Lyrics:

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Chorus:

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Chorus

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Chorus

牛牛牧場開張了...neoneo farm

真是偑服芝寶的想像力,創造出可愛的牛牛們.因此,這個Blogger就取名"牛牛牧場"(neoneo farm).
