In Her Eyes I See The Sea...
Let's see. The dead ex-boyfriend list keeps growing. I'm not joking! That is a post-in-progress. Meanwhile, the garden here is happening. This pleases me greatly because I've done all the work. At first, I whined that we needed a rototiller to prepare the patch. One day, I looked down into the neighboring yard, and there was my ninety-something year old neighbor, prepping his garden bed entirely by hand. A shovel and a hoe and an old guy. This snapped me into action, and I went on out there and did the same thing. It felt mighty fine to just do it.
Music is also happening. Next week I cruise south to Santa Cruz to see my dear sister-friend. We are going to the Shoreline show together. Back in the so-called day, we saw lots of music. So, am revisiting another portal from my past. This is the same friend whose camp I'll be in at Burning Man. Seeing and hearing what's left of the boys will be fun at this point in time. And sad too. But really... he's been gone nearly 14 years now. I'm glad to hear anything that is related musically to that thing I loved so much. I surely did.
After playtime, I'll hurry homeward. Youngest daughter has prom to attend that weekend. School's almost done. Again. Then she's a senior. My baby. Shit! No more kids to raise-up. Then what? Burning Man-among other things. Much to be done beforehand, and 3 months (or so) will fly by.

Still Life
Dearest Aiko Jim paid us a visit last weekend. We cooked and laughed, drank and danced, and walked about town. Watched a couple of movies, including 'There Will Be Blood'. (Excellent!)We even found time to make fools of ourselves. Just a little. What the hell. We're allowed to be fools together, because we go back thirty years. Back in the days of wine and doses.
Things are different now. Our lives in no way resemble the wild days of being twenty-somethings. Wait-maybe a few things are the same. Luckily.This friendship is the rarest sort. It evolves. There have been emotional speed bumps, but we always end up buddies. Forever.
I changed my accompanying song yet again. This time it got mysteriously nixed by imeem. Which is alright, because I found our signature song from the night of foolish behavior. Let's just say that our hardwood floors are most excellent for sock dancing.
