Westbound was the name of a real label that flourished during the 1970s, specializing in Black music. Their roster at one time included The Ohio Players, Funkadelic and Denise LaSalle.
Well, ya know, all those people still floating around up there are the ones who didn't listen when their mom told them to tie a string around their finger. Mine told me it was so I wouldn't forget something, but I think she just didn't want to scare me. In her mind, a loose string can always be grabbed from below. Until she confessed to me many years later, Mom was the only one who knew my inatentive, forgetful brother was a floater.
Since nobody else asked, where’s that pizza from? Could have used another minute or two in the oven. Just sayin’.
You know how buffet pizza is. It's usually "all you can stomach." 😉
I love the bird’s eye view.
So true!
Yes indeed. Life is like that sometimes.
LOL, spent much of my working life staring down at the world (aerial photography and later imagery or in a helicopter) but I did understand gravity 🤪
That song could be hard on the scales but may get some down out of the air 😜
Life goes on, the duo goes their separate ways 🎼🎤🎹🎸
“Failed Grasp” — a complimentary service to “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”! 😁
“Ready for Lunch” — “[musical interlude while I let round one settle]” Lol!
TR&TR5 — Awww, happy ending! And avoided the cliche of Julie ending up with one of them! 👏
Exactly. “I’m floating. And I can’t get down!”
Thanks, Jack.
Cool! I am horrible with lyrics and have to make up my own when I hear a tune to a song in my brain. Great post, Mark!
Thanks, Susy. Making up lyrics is fun!
I was happy to see both dreams come true. Great story, Mark! Also, I’m happy you eventually found a place to land and didn’t float away. 🤣
Exactly, yes, what you said, on all counts. :-) Thanks for the feel-good story, Mark.
Thanks, Tara. I feel good that you enjoyed it. 🤓
I do love happy endings. 🤣
I wouldn’t have minded floating a few more hours. 🤓
Oh, like collecting and carrying around a bag of rocks is easier.
Nothing is easy about preventing float away.
Tutti a tavola a mangiare!
I had to google it. Sounds like a good motto. 🤣

I didn't know that. Cool.
Maybe I should have used Southbound. 🤓
"Oh, gravy, I am ready for lunch" ha ha ha ha
That kind of reminds me of "F***k it, let's go bowling."
Ready for lunch is my natural state.
Made me smile. Dreams do come true. All the time. Gotta believe. Until then, Sharp Dressed Man (ZZ Top)!
Thanks, Alex. Dreams do come true. Just usually not like we expect.

Your Mom was smart. Carrying around a bag of rocks works also.
She tried that first. She couldn't come up with any justification for the rocks, and as a child, I complained a lot, so she went with thread.
Thread is lighter, for sure. But winding forty feet of it around your finger is tedious.
Of course it always helps if you are 50 pounds overweight as well. Apparently.
Ha, ha! I am not quite 50, but probably 25. And I haven't floated away yet.
