Remembering D-Day, 75 Years Ago


On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline, to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. Many lost their lives this day but those who survived went on liberate Europe and to help win World War II.

A Ramble About Sometimes

Sometimes you are happy

Sometimes you are just very sad

Sometimes you are secure

Sometimes you are scared to death

Sometimes you are rich

Sometimes you are wondering about bills

Sometimes you are the life of the party

Sometimes you are in the corner alone

Sometimes you are prosperous

Sometimes you are barely getting by

Sometimes you are fully present

Sometimes you are totally lost

Sometimes you are faithful

Sometimes you are agnostic

Sometimes you are attractive

Sometimes you are just not appealing

Sometimes you are good

Sometimes you are wicked

Sometimes you are where you should be

Sometimes you are dreaming about elsewhere

Sometimes you are the comedy

Sometimes you are the tragedy

Sometimes you are, well Sometimes
