Everyone - Let's Lower Our Standards All At Once


You know that song, "I Can See Clearly Now (Bright Sunshiny Day)"? Well, until today, I always thought the lyrics were, "I can speak clearly now the rain is gone." I found out from a coworker using the snobby "I-know-way-more-about-music-than-you" tone that it isn't "speak" but "see" clearly. Wow. Who would have guessed?

"Speak clearly now the rain has gone" has always made so much sense to me. I picture someone just thrilled not to have to talk in the rain anymore. If I always was trying to talk in the pouring rain, but then finally it stopped - I definitely would write a song about it. Never put together the title and the first line.

I tried to explain this to my coworker, yet it seemed as if it was raining. Later to cheer him up I sent this link (clink on the word "link")

This brings me to my point. I desperately need new windshield wipers, but only do I remember when it is raining.

I loved this episode. The silver platter and the engraving fiasco...that Jane she really messed things up.
