Back alive! And alive is indeed the appropriate word. Nothing like 10 days away from "civilization" to clear the mind and purify the soul.
Its amazing how your priorities change after a couple of days on the trail and you settle into a natural rhythm. All you worry about are seemingly simple things like what time to get up (with the sun) and what time...

Hey Man, welcome back! That sounds like an amazing trek. I'd kill to be 187 again.

Sounds amazing. Are you planning to go to Mutant Fest or BM? Not that you'd need to at this point...
All you groovy guys and gals, by this time tomorrow I shall be in the enchanted kingdom of New Mexico, preparing to start our 60 mile walk-about with our crew of 8 plus me. Ya'll pray for sunshine, moderate temperatures, NO FIRES and STRONG FEET. Be good and if you can't be good, be careful!! Hell, just be! See you in two weeks!

Have a lovely Blow Something Up Day
Celebrate your own Independence!
Sparkle and vanish in such astonishment as the real reason gunpowder was made.
Born to be Wild!

It is one of the ironies of our time that, while concentrating on the defense of our country against enemies from without, we should be so heedless of those who would destroy us from within.

How prescient was THAT? Given who we currently have in office in the White House, it's almost as if Rachel were writing that today as the Bushies...

Lost in the wilderness sounds better than being lost in the fun house.
They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
They think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think it's a total disgrace

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! Yeah, Pete is 85 this year, so it was kind of imperative that I get that autograph as soon as possible!

Shit, how awesome is that! That sounds like an amazing start to a week. I should take in one of those shows, but I might embarrass myself and cream all over everything. Be well. Later.
That sounds like an amazing start to a week. I should take in one of those shows, but I might embarrass myself and cream all over everything. Be well. Later. Keeping with the lyrical theme, I'm getting back to my, er... roots for the weekend and will leave you with this little bit of 60's rebelliousness and nostalgia
She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why

I never saw the musical performed, but I remember being moved by the movie with Treat Williams (bought the DVD). I was about... 14 or 15(?) when it came out.
whiskeyfightpit:
Man, I can't dig on some nostalgia. Makes me think of American Graffitti. Which makes me think of being old. And then I think about the day that my generation's AMERICAN GRAFFITTI is going to come out. This will be the day that I die!
Being pressed for time, but also feeling compelled to make a post, I resort again to lyrics from one of my favorites, and I might add, one of my top ten 80s albums. I heard this at the gym the other day amidst the usual mix of "lite" rap, hip-hop and top 40. Ah, memories. It was tough to sing along though while I was...

hahah! that sounds like something i will probably do. We're going to a wedding so its lameness will no doubt lead to my intoxication. 
Reagan, Ray Charles...who's next? Anyone in a Dead Pool?
With regard to Reagan, its amazing to see all the people who couldn't stand him as President blathering on about how he was such a great President, etc. Give me a break. Respect for the dead is one thing, but with the exception of bringing down the Iron Curtain, his presidency fucked us good.

I was just thinking about who's next...I'm too afraid to make a guess. And you are right about Reagan, he fucked us all pretty good. What happens with people's memories??? 
Well, I'm back. I had to be in Minnneapolis yesterday for a meeting, Why does air travel these days have to be so difficult? Northwest is the only airline with direct flights from DC and even though I had 2+ weeks notice, they wanted $1000 for a tix. I could have probably pushed it through on my expenses, but no... So, I end up flying...

OK. I need your help. I have this $40 Sam Goody/Media Play/Sun Coast Video gift card that has been sitting on my desk for several weeks now since my son gave it to me in lieu of cash as part of payment for a Crown amplifier I bought on Ebay for him.

Ah, I may have LOOKED like an upstanding citizen, but that is my clever disguise! Ha ha ha! Seriously, I felt like I was going to puke on the Queen's shoes the whole time.
I don't really see a lot of movies, so I can't offer any suggestions there, sorry!

The weekend was wonderous. I took my two boys to a family reunion over in West Virginia. A gathering of the descendents of 8 children of my Great-great grandfather on mom's side. Cousins coming out of the woodwork. And the cool thing was the story behind Great grand pa.

I'm not necessarily feeling this way (or maybe I am?), but I was rummaging through some old files and I came across something I scribbled a while back that I thought I'd share:
Decadence
Decadence

you wear so well, caressing your lush, languid body
Intoxicating, enticing
Engulfing me
with the soft, slow, satisfying seduction

Languid, ahhh just the sound of it. Simply one of the finest of words, Heres to ya. And the bowl of milk for thoras lovely on the other side. I was touched, as well as for the political/social sentiment. We will make it happen. Im in D.C often. If you want to carouse the finer points lets hang sometime. Otherwise, take care.
trixel:
*looks up at ShadowSilver* Languid is my favourite word.
And your words are making me wish I had something more than an oversized teddybear named Robert in my bed tonight. Lovely.
