That’s right RHC did not make it to 100… I got to 93 and a ½… I couldn’t even get all the way through #94. But, I did have fun doing this. I really thought my thoughts were going to be more out there or fractured. Overall, everything looks NORMAL… Really just normal… plain… boring… cliche… run of the mill… routine… but still I had fun doing it…
My favorites are as follows:
#7 “All I ever want to be is a good person” This is something my mom said to me when the dementia set in and started eating up her brain.
#18 “I Love My Blue Shoes: I really do love my blue shoes. I have two pairs of blue shoes and hope to buy more.
#29 Slice of Life is one of my favorite past features on Vocal + Assist. Stephanie Bradberry developed that one!!!
# 32 If you are around me enough you know that I am head over heels crazy for Esperanza Spalding’s music!!!
44 “Rock Lobster” was a hit when I was 19 years old… what a fun, fun, fun time for me.
92. "Corpses lie in their graves" I can relate to this one!
With Love, RHC
… Coincidentally, did you see the people in the boat?
This song by Esperanza Spalding is one of the most beuatiful songs I have ever heard!!!
I love, love, love this song!!!

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

How did I miss this 😁
"Rock Lobster." Great Track! A musician friend turned me on to it when we were in high school some dozens of years ago. Loved your take on the challenge. I would have failed more than anyone, lol.
Great job Cousin! Somethings were fun, others were deep & insightful! :)
Those dancin' days WERE fun! If there was a rewind button my finger would be holding it down repeatedly. Thanks for sharing Rick!

Blue cheese is awesome! You did a wonderful job. It was fun reading your entry.
Bluecheese crumbles with Ranch dressing is one of my favorites. Love this very fun read and the blue shoes are cool 😎 💙
Fun read, Rick! 🤗❤️ I love cheeseburgers and pizza, also 😋
I love your cover picture. A lot of food and music was mention a lot . 💓
I thought sure you were going to make it, Rick. You were so steady. Love the music.
Hahahahahahaha I enjoyed reading this! When I saw John Jacob Jinglehiemer Smith, I started singing it! I didn't know you are ledt handed. Oh and my name is Dharrsheena!
I relate to number 7. I'll bet more people would articulate that if they paused to ponder their "big why." Seems that most people want to do the best they can, and it looks different for each individual. That's why we should give each other grace instead of judgement. Your mom is wise! P.S. I love my blue shoes too. They have pandas on them.😊
Awesome 👍 ❤️💯😉📝 -Ice Skating on a warm night 🌚 💯✨
My favorite was “this is #41” 😂
Amazing list!!! While you didn't make it to 100, you were willing to give it a go!!! At 93 1/2, that's impressive!!! You had fun and it was a fun and entertaining read!!! Loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
Hey! Nice job!! You nearly got to 100! This was fun. I love the blue shoes 😁. Colorful shoes brighten up every step. I should get some.
Well done- Is it a secret code to enjoy the jump from whipped cream to Herb Albert?!
A few good thoughts: 1) RHC made it to 93 1/2.👏 2) Sometimes, the heart of gold touches the gold in others and the synergy starts the healing. 3) I had never heard that Esperanza Spalding song. Now, I will make sure I hear it again. Bravo, RHC! 👏
