Come to think of it, she does remind me a little about my high school crush.  I only went out with her twice, as I got stupid about her my senior year and didn&#8217;t get the nerve to ask her out until spring.  She then went on to date a close friend, which would become a recurring theme in my younger days, and after she graduated college, I hear she married a local boy known for impregnating his step-sister, whom he&#8217;d dated before their parents married.  I am from Wisconsin, but by high school, I was in Jefferson County, Missouri, where such things are not unheard of.<\/p>\n<p>But back to Taylor Swift.  Blonde, pretty blue eyes, and a sweet voice, ruff.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Taylors, here&#8217;s another from back in the day, also blonde here:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LLqavsL003Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>2.

Here&#8217;s the current video, where he looks like a fat Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines, unfortunately:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1eqpHvzkc_0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it&#8217;s from an album of country sings Disney which isn&#8217;t as bad as a Jimmy Buffett or Def Leppard duet, but I have to think Hank would not approve.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s something from the olden days, his second album entitled <i>It Won&#8217;t Be The Last<\/i>.

Well, after four weeks of the late shift, I&#8217;ve gotten a bit tired of SportsCenter and Hannity and Colmes or Greta repeats, and sometimes the classic movie stations are running <i>Hope Floats<\/i> marathons.
