I wish my response would have been that righteous!¡Aye carumba!
I can absolutely relate. On all points.I wish my response would have been that righteous!Unfortunately, I let the situation get the best of me for a few days. I'm thankful my salvation isn't based on my responses!
One of my favorite pieces of music! The first time I heard it it brought me to tears.
a quiet chord begins where shadows rest in light
.....and softly stirs the heart to rise in gentle flight
a second voice arrives as dawn recalls the day
.... its echo weaving warmth along the canons way
a third thread follows close with whispers pure and clear
....unfurling tender paths that draw all sorrows near
the ground beneath repeats its steady glowing hymn
....a pulse of patient hope where fading dreams grow dim
in calm expanding rings the melodies entwine
....like vines of silver dusk around a distant shrine
each turn returns again yet never feels the same
....for every note restores a sweeter wandering flame
the quiet deepens now with loves unbroken stream
.....a slow ascending tide that carries one last gleam
then rising still it climbs through air made bright and true
....where longing finds a voice that trembles into blue
at last the woven sound becomes a shining field
.....where hearts once separate breathe softly and are healed
it;s one of my favorites too ..... and also a few of the many variations and versions of it made over the years... ......pachelbels canon has probably inspired more musicians and been used as the base for more compositions than any other piece of music......One of my favorite pieces of music! The first time I heard it it brought me to tears.

lightning during a rare December electrical storm. It burned something in the unit up, and it kept running continuously for 4 days just to keep our house above 50 degrees. Our bill went down by 35 percent.
