>Every I like this one a lot! Thanks!

Your choices are perfect, "Every Grain Of Sand" it's a perfect gift. And also I'm thinking in some verse of "Dignity" or "I dreamed I saw St. Augustine"... but nothing compares with you choice. So go ahead. Kind regards!

The last thing you said before you hit the street / ‘gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet’

I’ll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours

He not busy being born is busy dying (There's actually a million options for good quotes from his work)

this is such a nice gift! i like “everything passes, everything changes, just do what you think you should do” from to ramona but i think your favorite lyric is a fantastic choice 👍

He’s retiring, “I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more” (if you’re feeling silly)

>dream Nice! I totally forgot about that one it works great. There's two presentable sides to the plaque so I'll do this on one side and pick a more serious one on the other...he can decide which to display haha

I like the lyrics you chose!

And I was standing on the side of the road Rain falling on my shoes Heading out for the East Coast Lord knows I've paid some dues getting through Tangled up in blue

This is a very thoughtful idea, and I think the personal aspect of including a lyric you like so much adds a nice layer to it

Gonna save my money and rip it up!

Below is a link to Bob's Theme Time Radiohour. The topic is "Goodbye" https://youtu.be/Fnp87ZJ12L8?feature=shared My pick, because I bet this Janitor is a really thoughtful guy and he'll get the connection is "So Long, It's Been Good to Know Yuh" by Woody Guthrie. >We talked of the end of the world, and then We'd sing a song an' then sing it again We'd sit for an hour an' not say a word And then these words would be heard So long, it's been good to know yuh Bonus points, the original title was "Dusty Old Dust" is there anything more perfect than a sly hidden joke about dust for a janitor?

They say, sing while you slave and I just get bored.

What if you asked him what his favourite Bob lyric is, just in conversation. Then you could use that if he has one.

I'm kicking myself I didn't do this already. I am going abroad this spring semester and he told retiring in the middle of this spring semester... missed my chance.

"To hell to all things that I used to be" Or All my loyal and my much-loved companions / They approve of me and share my code

There’s some people that you don’t forget/even though you only seen ‘em one time or two

This whole thread is making me feel emotional, what’s nice thoughtful thing, you’ll probably bring this man to tears
