DUSTING!? IMAGINE THAT GUYS:((

With a cold rainy drizzle happening and our driveway coated in a treacherous uneven coating of ice, Pheebs and I never went out of the house.  It was one of those days when I concentrated on inside endeavors and tackled the remainder of the bathroom cabinets and another dresser in the spare room.  Some dusting and vacuuming was done as well.  Dusting!?  Imagine that guys.

Al's Music Box:)) Sunshine Superman is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released as a single in the United States through Epic Records in July 1966, but due to a contractual dispute the United Kingdom release was delayed until December 1966, where it appeared on Donovan's previous label, Pye Records. The single was backed with "The Trip" on both the US and UK releases. It has been described as "[one of the] classics of the era", and as "the quintessential bright summer sing along".  "Sunshine Superman" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States (Donovan's only single to do so) and subsequently became the title track of his third album.  When finally released in the UK, it reached No.  2. A different mix of "The Trip" (without harmonica) is also included in the album. The single version of "Sunshine Superman" was edited down from its original four-and-a-half minutes to just over three, and this version was also used on the album; the full-length version made its debut on the Donovan's Greatest Hits LP in 1969.  Billboard described the single as a "rockin' production ballad with an exciting, commercial sound".  Cashbox described the song as a "funky, medium-paced, blues-soaked romancer about a lad who was determined to snare the gal of his dreams", and called it "impressive".  Record World said it "has an incessant and irresistible mid-shuffle beat."  Following the release of the hit song, the name "Sunshine Superman" became widely associated with Donovan himself, and was used as the title or part of the title of about six of his album releases and reissues (including several compilations and a live album as well as being used as the title track of his 1966 studio album).  

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A boy is writing a paper on childbirth and asks his parents, How was I born?  His mother awkwardly answers, The stork brought you.  Oh, says the boy. Well, how were you and Daddy born?  Oh, the stork brought us, too, and Grandpa and Grandma.  The boy begins his paper, This report has been very difficult to write due to the fact that there hasnt been a natural childbirth in my family for three generations.

A bookseller conducting a market survey asked a woman, “Which book has helped you most in your life?”  The woman replied, “That would be my husband’s checkbook.”

After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's day. What do you think it means?"  "You'll know tonight." he said.  That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it to find a book entitled "The Meaning of Dreams"
