With trepidation to begin the journey once again. Hiatus, more than wearing thin, my old familiar friend. For you and I have appetites, quite difficult to whet, you stare at me in blank repose, I fidget and I fret. What happens if the edge is lost? Quite likely we'd succumb to some form of psychotic break, a seperated sum. Together we remain complete, an oft' perplexing pair. There's you, a two dimension sheet, there's me, somewhere out "there". And so old friend, we're still well met, in Scarecrows' old refrain, we've so much to accomplish yet, if I but had a brain. |

Hah! I can relate. Yep. Uh huh. Had occasion to be on that road in my travels. Love your style, cutting to the chase as it were. ~ Intolerant people are the people who do not believe the way we want them to, which makes us intolerant by default.—July 26, 2010 ~ |

Eric, Lol, not sure if you're saying this write gave you indigestion or not ( sodium bicarb ), but I'll take the tickets & give Dorothy a call. Doc Rex, Thanks for the read & the offer, lol. Doc JerryPat, Thanks , this is what happens when you go in for your annual check-up and they give you a metaphysical by mistake. Doc Dear Liz, Thank you m'friend. I've been following your progress & wish you nothing but continued health and happiness. Doc Alison, Well now, all this high praise and I'm going to have to start buying bigger ( straw) hats, lol. Thanks, haven't been posting much, maybe after things settle down we can get back to class. Doc Faith, Thank you, that was very nice of you to say. Doc |
