This just looked kinda happy and free. Who is Riley anyway ?? Must be somebody like Kilroy......he's been everywhere. LOL Thanks for lookin' and all comments are appreciated. J
Well, just to be a smarty pants. i found you this !
What is the origin of "the life of Riley"? "life of Reilly"?
(Etymology)
It is said that this expression originated in the 1880s from a song called, "Is that Mr. Reilly?". The song contained lyrics such as "a hundred a day would be my pay", and other comedic speculation about what "Mr. Reilly" would do if he were to become wealthy. The earliest recorded citation for "life of Reilly", however, is in 1919, where the "life of Reilly" is referred to in another song, "...but I'm living the life of Reilly just the same..."
anyway... this is nice, i like the little twiddly bit too!!
pretty gradients!

"It could have an Irish origin: After the Riley clan consolidated its hold on County Cavan, they minted their own money, accepted as legal tender even in England. These coins, called “O'Reillys” and “Reilly's,” became synonymous with a monied person, and a gentleman freely spending was “living on his Reillys.” "
Living on his Reillys :) This one seems to be having a lot of fun - lots of energy and light in this one John - I like it heaps.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
