I haven't run a cover song in a while, so let's dip into my collection and go with a classical version of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) originally written by the Eurythmics and here performed by Simply Three.

I've always loved Annie Lennox's singing voice, but in this version the violin does a wonderful job of capturing the vocal part.

A quick follow-up to last weeks post about my new job as a School Bus Driver.

I had my first solo route drive last Thursday. My morning route is known as the Blue Route and it is pretty much driving due North out of town, picking up students until I get to my furthest pickup and then heading directly South while picking up a few more and then delivering them to their appropriate schools.

I posted this picture on Facebook on Monday and I thought it might be time to update everyone on the life of a freshly licensed school bus driver.

For my non-U.S. readers, this is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, but the "big yellow" part will likely mean nothing to you. School buses are not unusual in other parts of the world, nor in Britain. The biggest difference is that U.S. school buses are bright yellow (well, technically they are Federal standard "National School Bus Glossy Yellow" and there is an interesting YouTube video here if you want more explanation.)

##Chapter 1

1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

There seems to be near universal agreement that Acts was written by Luke and even that this is the same Luke who wrote the eponymous gospel. Seeing how easily biblical scholars can disagree on even the smallest details, we should enjoy and relish this small miracle.

During the same visit to the park that produced the previous picture, I saw this scene and liked it, so I captured it.
