Say Goodbye to Hollywood - Song.a.Day

...So many faces in and out of my life

Some will last, some will just be now and then

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes

I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again...

I am not one who likes to say "goodbye" to old friendships and relationships... but those lines from Say Goodbye to Hollywood have been in the back of my head for a while now.

Home - Photo.a.Day

So when he came up close to the lens... well, hilarity ensued.

In SLC,

Driving from Davis to Salt Lake City, you pass through a little bit of beautiful gold country. We listened to the Paint Your Wagon soundtrack (one of my family's favorites) and sang along. This is one of my favorites from the musical... sung by Clint Eastwood himself.
