    I am sure there is a thing that I call 'chip evaporation'. I only eat about 5 and then the bag is empty!

    A 50lb bag of rice could sustain the average person for 40 days.

    This is not a typical post for this thread, but it does happen to be my random thought for the day.

    While doing water aerobics this morning, two songs in particular played: I Write the Songs by Barry Manilow, and Crying by Ray Orbison. Both these songs came out when I was much younger (yes, I am that old), and I didn't care for either of them then.
    I still don't care for I Write the Songs by Barry Manilow, or any of his other songs that I've heard for that matter. I just don't like Barry Manilow's style. It's too syrupy, too much fanfare, too much orchestration, but most importantly emotionally unsatisfying (IMO). The fact that it won a Grammy for Song of the Year in 1977 doesn't persuade me to change my mind. But I did just learn a few things that change my perception somewhat: 1) Barry Manilow didn't write it - Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys did, 2) the "singer" is supposed to be God (not Barry 😂), 3) It was first recorded by David Cassidy, then the Captain and Tennille, then Barry Manilow. Knowing all this now allows me to give Barry a break and stop thinking he's vainglorious (or at least not that vainglorious), but I still don't care for his music.

    But I've come to appreciate Crying by Ray Orbison. Why? This song's production has some similarities with the one above, so why is this one okay with me now? Pathos. I believe Ray when he sings this, and I feel for him.

    The things you think about during water aerobics!...

    For your entertainment 😂, here is David Cassidy's performance of I Write the Songs:
    (watch for first 24 seconds at least, for a good laugh)

    I am very ashamed to admit I did not get why May 4th was Star Wars day the very second I heard it.

    When you send someone a friend request only to remove them soon after and you still see them around MFP.
