Step up to the plate…

It is a Monday.  I’m playing “beat the clock” by trying to get a update out to the floor in the next thirty minutes.  I’ve been working hard on it since 6:00pm Manila time.  Aiee!

Our song list so far is:

“Walk Away” by Kelly Clarkson
“Eye to Eye” by Tevin Campbell
“Street Symphony” by Rob Thomas
“Alrightokuhhuhamen” by Rich Mullins
“Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” by Trace Adkins
“Town Without Pity” by Gene Pitney
“Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves
“Ready to Go” by Republica
“I Want You” by Savage Garden…
“I Try” By Macy Gray
“Superman” by Five For Fighting
“Let The Day Begin” by The Call
“I Thank The Lord For the Night Time” by Neil Diamond
“Moving Right Along” by The Muppets
“L is for the way…” By Frank Sinatra
“Good Mornin’” From Singing in The Rain
“Something Familier” From A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

I love this song because 1) it’s country and 2) it’s just fun to “bounce” to as I walk the streets of Manila or when I’m trying to beat the clock at work.  And here it is, the latest in the long list of my favorite songs…

Goin’ goin’ goin’ gone
