Getting More From Les
Branson, Bezos, and I are Flying High
Fly me to the moon,
I want to join that great space race,
And since I’m not a billionaire
I’ll do it all with grace.
In other words, shoot me high.
In other words, let me fly.
Branson has the early lead
Jeff Bezos comes on strong
Where are Cook and Zuckerberg?
I guess it won’t be long.
In other words, it’s July.
In other words, earth good-bye.
Who cares what it costs
It’s only money after all,
Those guys have a ton of it.
Enough for the long haul.
In other words, satisfy.
In other words, don’t justify.
Soaring through the air
It really seems like so much fun.
Who cares what we leave behind
We’re heading for the sun.
In other words, I’m the guy.
In other words, let me try.
Fly me to the moon,
I think there’s just one hitch
I get really motion sick.
And altitudes a bitch.
In other words, with a sigh.
In other words, I won’t try.

Meet The Blogger
lesraff
Hi! I am Les, a practicing pathologist living in the North Suburbs and commuting every day to the Western ones. I have lived my entire life in the Chicago area, and have a pretty good feel for the place, its attractions, culture, restaurants and teams. My wife and I are empty-nesters with two adult children and a grandchild. We recently decided to downsize, but just a bit! I will be telling the story of the construction of our new home, but also writing about whatever gets me going on a particular day. Be sure to check out the “About” page to learn more about where we plan to go with this blog!
