Haven't posted in a while, or been around as much as I'd like lately. School and daily life stressors (work, sick kids, unemployed spouse) have left me with little time and energy for writing. I know I'm not the only one around here who has been feeling pinched lately, so thought I would share one of my favorite songs with you all.  This isn't the greatest video, but hey- I finally figured out how to embed a video - no small feat for me -  so here it is. Enjoy - (and spend an extra moment appreciating Pete Townshend's fine nose!) 

"It's Hard"

Any tough can fight - few can play
Any fool can fall - few can lay
Any stud can reproduce - few can please
Anyone can pay - few can lease

It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Any man can claim - few can find
Any girl can blink - few can lie
Anyone can promise - few can raise
Anyone can try - but a few can stay

Any brain can hide - few can stand
Any kid can fly - few can land
Any gang can scatter - few can form
Any kid can chatter - few can inform

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so very hard

It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Any soul can sleep - few can die
Any wimp can weep - few can cry
Everyone complains - few can state
Anyone can stop - few can wait

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so hard

Anyone can do anything if they hold the right card
So I'm thinking about my life now
I'm thinking very hard
Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard
Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard
