Hello world!

Word press has this little application that takes words from Louis Armstrong’s “Hello Dolly” and intermittently posts fragment of the song in a header as I work back here in administration.  I love Louis!  and post below, the lyrics from my favorite song of his, to set the tone of this blog:  What a wonderful world.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin’ hands, sayin’ “How do you do?”
They’re really saying “I love you”

I hear babies cryin’, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah!
