ohhhhhhhh

I'm sorry.



I'm off to buy more recycling bags for the weeds that jumped up after the recent rains. Hope that makes you feel a bit better.

I held 'salon' in Sark, cafe across the road, this afternoon/evening for my birthday ... just a modest, cute cozy get-together. Had first met downtown with Cs, new girl at work, to have a coffee, look at some photos where there was a small exhibition. Then walked back up to Sark together at 5. Nother girl from work came with her husband, a friend of mine was there already, she's nice, a guy who works at Tilos came over who's a big, friendly guy, and "Susannah" worked, so she was there too. Didnt join us cause she wasnt in too good a mood, but had bought me an elaborate present, which was sweet too. We chatted and drank, had a bottle of champagne, stayed till a bit after 11. For a birthday in a new home country after having emigrated just four months ago, not too bad - was kinda nice, homy, exactly what Id wanted. <nods, smiles>

Anything AM with an 8 or less in it is a violation of human rights to me ... unless I'm still awake. <grins>

johnboy invokes the A2K 48 hour rule. Any thread left untended for that period of time allows johnboy to tell a story, at great length. Probably Nimh and Sozobe or others should realize that and take defensive action.

Is There A Place In Heaven Or Hell For Dreamers?

I got a call today from "Hart." He calls perhaps once a year or two, and has done so since we were in Vietnam, back in 1970-1972. I don't quite recall why we became friends, perhaps it was because we were the only Southern (white) boys in the unit.
I managed to put the Vietnam experience into a box, seal it up tightly and put it into the back of a closet. It is there, but it is behind all of the stuff that came afterwards since I was 21.
I got a call today from "Hart." He was coming through town. Could we get together for some drinks and dinner? We do.
I don't know what he was like before I met him, but I know where he has been for as long as I have known him: a dreamer. He is always one step, just one step, behind latching onto a rainbow. Some scheme that will make him rich.
He is a pretty smart person, and honest I think. Personable. But never able to hold onto a job or a wife for very long.

So I guess that isn't a story to smile about but I kind of did as I picked up the bar and dinner tab, and he headed down the highway from wherever he had been to wherever he is going next, chasing something; chasing some dream. Some elusive dream. -rjb-
