Bill
I love you so
I always will
I look at you and see
the passion eyes of May
Oh but am I ever gonna see
my wedding day?
Oh I was on your side Bill
when you were losin’
I’d never scheme or lie Bill
There’s been no foolin’
but kisses and love won’t carry me
till you marry me Bill
Bill
I love you so
I always will
and in your voice I hear
a choir of carousels
Oh but am I ever gonna hear
my wedding bells?
I was the one came runnin’
when you were lonely
I haven’t lived one day
not loving you only
but kisses and love won’t carry me
till you marry me Bill
Bill
I love you so
I always will
and though devotion rules my heart
I take no bows
Oh but Bill you know
I wanna take my wedding vows
Come on Bill
Come on Bill
I got the wedding bell blues

by Laura Nyro

It was a hit for the 5Th Dimension.

My brother use to  love to play the song   on  Radio and dedicated the song to   during my long courtship with My boyfriend, Bill.

Eventually , wedding bells did ring for us and 17 years later we have 2 kids and a Dog.

I believe that Weddings Bells should be able to ring for everyone .  There is a campaign to win marriage nationwide for all committed couples. They are working with a diverse range of organizations and supporters, straight and gay, to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from the responsibilities, protections, and commitment of marriage.

From a email I received .

As you all have seen on the news this week, Haiti was hit Tuesday by what
could be considered the worst natural disaster for the region in the last
200 years. An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.0, shocked the
country, collapsing buildings and cutting water and electricity services in
Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas.

I am Haitian and my many family members in Haiti are
all–miraculously–healthy and safe. I have also heard of positive reports
from many, many friends and more distant relatives family friends. But
along with the estimated 3 million affected Haitians, they are now in need
of basics, clean water, food and shelter, etc.

For those of you interested in donating at this initial, critical phase,
please consider organizations that target medical and food (and water)
needs, since those are, at this moment, the most pressing areas of concern.

This weekend there is a NYC drop-off point at Charity: Water
http://charitywater.tumblr.com/ (address below) for the following items that
are most needed in Haiti right now:

Blankets*

Tents*

Soap

Feminine hygiene products

Sleeping bags*

Medical gloves

Bandages/gauze

Cases of bottled water

*These items can be gently used.

They are accepting donation in person Friday TODAY 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

These supplies will be transported next Tuesday, Jan 19, by Partners in
Health to where they are needed most. (More on Partners in Heath below)

IF YOU CAN CARRY THE DONATIONS BY HAND IN ONE LOAD: Please enter through the
front door at 200 Varick St. You will need a photo ID to enter the building.
We are located on the 2nd floor, Suite 201.

website http://charitywater.tumblr.com/, they have info about accessing
their loading dock.

founders of the organization, Paul Farmer, is known and respected as a man
of integrity who has worked in Haiti for almost 30 years; this is an
organization based in Haiti, and it’s smaller, so funds move more
efficiently and flexibly)

BOOKSNJ AT PARAMUS PUBLIC LIBRARY
BCCLS Welcomes Acclaimed Authors and Avid Readers Alike

The Paramus Public Library and the Bergen County Cooperative Library
System (BCCLS)
are proud to announce BooksNJ2009, a celebration of books and the readers
who love  them, on Sunday, June 14 from 1 to 5 pm. A classic rock n’ roll
performance by The  Retros will wrap up the festival beginning at 5:30 pm.

The festival will showcase writers from the state of New Jersey and
invites all  lovers of literature. You can expect a parade of popular and critically
acclaimed authors born and bred in the Garden State. Modeled after the annual
National Book  Festival in Washington, DC, there will be outdoor areas devoted to poetry,
fiction, non-fiction, children’s literature, and books for young adults.
Participants can attend panel discussions on a variety of topics and meet
the  authors up close and personal. Other activities include storytelling,
author  readings, a poetry slam, book signings, and much more. Thanks to New York
Life’s  sponsorship, the Children’s ID Bus will also be at the festival, providing
free ID  cards.
So far over 90 authors have committed to attend, and more are signing on
as word  spreads and June 14 approaches. We are excited to welcome some of the best
and the  brightest in the area:
– Sung Woo, first-time novelist who has received terrific reviews for his
first  novel, Everything Asian, about a Korean family in New Jersey
– Chris Grabenstein, whose mysteries are set at the Jersey shore
– Vince Gargiulo, whose book about Palisades Amusement Park is a
perennial favorite
– George Witte, Editor-in-Chief of St. Martin’s Press and published poet
– Susan Beth Pfeffer, winner of a Garden State Book Award and YA One Book
NJ 2009
for her novel, Life as We Knew It

Top 100
Books of the Year for 2007
– Steve Doocy – author and anchor on FOX-TV
– Dan Dahler – author ad CBS-TV news anchor
– Mary Jane Clark, best-selling mystery writer

It’s no coincidence that BooksNJ is happening in 2009. BCCLS marks its
30th anniversary this year. What better way to celebrate than to bring together
the  talent of authors and the passion of readers? After all, that’s the
mission of the  Paramus Public Library, and every member library of BCCLS.
BooksNJ2009 is being sponsored in part by Berkeley College, the NJ State
Library,  New York Life, and the Town News.
