A good cry on the train

I LOVE this idea, Joe, but I wouldn't get much writing done.

Plus ... always with the glass cleaning..

The glass cleaning...
Wouldn't get much writing done... .

Aren't there any romantics here?
We are talking about being
in the deep deep darkness
and watching
the universe bend around a corner of time.

Okay.
....
Tell yourself
you cannot sit in the high seat
until the
twentieth
or
the tenth
solid
page
of revealing circumstance,
character development,
rising action
is
being printed out.

Then climb that ladder,
lie back
and be
surprised.
That little blob of star
that was huddled near the left side of the sky
is now
smack in the middle of existence.

Who said anything about not looking at the universe.. move up to the caboose roof, in the open air.

Who said anything about not looking at the universe.. move up to the caboose roof, in the open air. (buzz, slap!)

I'm having trouble working up a caboose roof, what with the debate and my rising bp.

Not romantic? Me?!?

Well hell then, let's go with my second choice. Instead of a caboose for a writing hut, how about a gypsy caravan?

Here's a nice one.

Nah, he was talking about me with my concerns re glass washing - you're still cool, eva.

IZ: This weekend will really be three separate adventures. First, in about an hour, I am going to run down the riverside. I trot down the Hudson River Running Trail from 186th Street, (First going North a bit to about 200th Street) ending by cutting over to Central Park at 77th Street. That's about ten miles and it looks to be a perfect morning for that.

I'll take the train back home, clean house while waiting for the grocery guy to arrive with supplies (and lunch). Then maybe I'm off to the movies to see Elegy http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809860441/info, my friend, Annie has been bugging me to go see it for over a month or maybe wander over to the Brooklyn Bridge to have a look at the waterfalls art installation before they take it down next week. (Not everyone has been thrilled by either the falls or the movie. So, we'll see.)

Saturday is the end of my current gym membership so I will be cleaning out my locker and hauling the detritus back to the apartment. Thrilling. And the start of a new era.
I am also determined to get all of my photographs hung on the walls of this apartment while doing the laundry. (Adventure. Some things have been at the gym awhile.)

Sunday, I am working all afternoon in replacement of another manager which sets me up for a month of no working Sundays. Really looking forward to that. Having dinner with friends Sunday night, I think, there have been no firm plans offered or made by anyone. Beers and burgers somewhere.

Eva:
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy BRRRRRithday, goddess Eva,
Happy Birthday to you.

Gypsy Caravan..... a real possibility and so much easier to move than a caboose which takes two flatbed trucks and a crane. You could haul that sucker out into the Osage on a Friday, park somewhere between Pawhuska and the Tall Grass Perserve and write your little heart out until it was time for breakfast on Sunday morning. (Stop at the cafe in Hominy, great pancakes. Mebbe see a cowboy or two)

BTW: If you haven't taken the kiddo up to see the buffalo yet, they are getting their winter coats on now and are especially wooley.http://www.nature.org/wherewework/northamerica/states/oklahoma/preserves/tallgrass.html

Hey Joe (gosh you're a busy fella) Nation

Elegy sounds good - enjoy - great company too - so much the better.

Locker cleaning... mmmmm.... thinking! "Dis-required" space...a wardrobe of your own... you'll do fine mate. Thrilling - nope, step forward - yep. Adventurous times for the washing machine.

Ever get the feeling you are standing still whilst the world is rushing past in and around you...

Gypsy caravan.... close to perfect. Stars... so many, need the darkness to see the stars. Can you imagine the beauty - of course you can, you're Joe Nation.

Perhaps a tent with a view...

in the middle of place called nowhere.

I'm rambling in my head.

Good day Joe... have one today hun.

Iz ( leave a space on a wall!!!) zie

is it is it is it????????? Can we sing?

By all means, SING!

(Thanks for remembering, Joe. I am embarrassed to say I don't know your birthday. Fill me in?)

Should I just tell you when my birthday is or shall we make a game of guessing it?
I could give you hints (I'm supposed to be 'fair of face' and all of the males in my family are Aries.

Joe(there could be prizes)Nation

Oh no! not the Aries! Well, it's better than Gemini, I guess. Say, do you share birthday with someone famous? Vladimir Iljic Lenin, for example? He was Aries, I think.

Hey Dag(did your phone dry)maraka

perhaps he may share his birthday with one of the following...

Wernher Von Braun
Vincent Van Gogh
Andre Previn
Thomas Jefferson
Don Mattingley.........

It dried, thank merciful heavens!

Rachmaninov? Casanova? Marlon Brando?

Dag (but the battery only holds for 4 hours)maraka.

"Monday's child is fair of face"

Does anyone have something where we can plug in dates and find out what days they were? I figure it's narrowed to 4 or 5 Mondays in....1947?

I was figuring famous birthdays in Mar/Apr Mondays 2009....

... who knows a?

Iz (?) zie

Aries Mondays in 1947 (are you sure it's 1947?):
March 24 (my ex-es, The Monster's birthday). Also Steve McQueen and Harry Houdini
March 31 - Joseph Haydn and Richard Chamberlain
April 7 - Francis Ford Coppola and Jackie Chan
April 14 - Julian Lloyd Webber
April 21- Anthony Quinn and Iggy Popp (1947, too!)

Dag (I hope it's not March 24) maraka.

Joe, are you really Iggy Pop?

Okay, we have it narrowed down to five possible dates.

Next clue please, Joe.
