Eat, Drink, and Be Merry....



So, I know it's been forever since I've posted..... terribly sorry about that. Last week was absolute chaos--helped staff a United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime conference in Delhi-barely enough time to sleep, etc. Then we went to Goa, this beachtown in southwest India, which was amazing.



I'll post on both of these events soon, but in the meantime, here's a picture from my recent weekend and a more-than-appropriate song to go with it:

A bientot and all my love....

Don't burn the day!


We were above
You standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
'Cause we're tripping billies

We're wearing nothing
Nothing but our shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Remembering once,
Out on the beaches we wore
Pineapple grass bracelets

So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our freinds
Such a happy human race
'Cause we're tripping billies




We are all sitting
Legs crossed round a fire
My yellow flame she dances
Tequila drinking oh our
Minds will wonder
To wonderous places

So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race

Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die

Man am I jealous! India looks like a beautiful country. It's amazing the things you do-gooders get to experience....;-)
