Yesterday and today, the weather has shifted a bit here on the Central Coast California.
It was a bit gloomy and overcasted with a slight chill.
Then, I was struck with 2 sets of bad news. A position that I had applied and was hoping for, I was
not even granted an interview.
The second was even harder to wrap my heart and mind with....

How could I climb this mountain??
I stand before this mountain of mine.
Here I am at the bottom, but it is the top that I need to be.
I reach up and begin the climb.
Searching for the cracks and creveses. Digging into the rock.
The wind whips around, biting against my skin.
The sun is hanging high above baking me against the mountain...

TGIF-break out the booze and it is time to party.
Again it is a perfect day. Cloudless sky and plenty of sunshine.
I bask in the warmth of the sun and reflect what a great week it has been.
I have a new(used)car. 2003 Nissan Altama, she is a beauty. A nice silver color and fully loaded toys inside.
Everything seems to fall into place...

Welcome to all on this day that run the longest of the year.
Let the summer soltace begin.
There is a frenzy of people out and about on the roadways.
Everyone is soaking up the sun shine and gaining a lovely tan.
The beaches are now crowed with people soaked in suntan lotion.
Beach towels, trashy novel, fancy sunglasses and a nice stiff lemonade

Feeling so good.
Dragonfly flying into the sun. Sun is warm and breeze is cool.
It is cool day, with fun just lingering about every where.
It is a new day with a new life for me.
Casting out my doubts and spreading my wings.
I watch the ocean roll in/out on this sand dune.
I watch dip down into the horizon. It seems that...

Yesterday, June 17.....was a very special day for many reasons.
For those men who have children...well Happy Father's Day. Hope everyone had fun.
For me, 38 years ago, on a Tuesday night 9:17pm June 17, 1969, I came screaming into the world.
Now three decades plus eight years have passed. I am a bit grayer, wiser, stout, and happier.
My family gave me a nice...

The day was long and dry.
How the sun hung in the sky dripping with heat.
Step outside and it felt like an oven.
The summer has arrived rather I wanted or not.
My nieacis visited and we layed out a small pool for them
to jump, splash, and stay cool.
Even the cats were laying around in the shade.
The sky was a beautiful...

Swishing through the valley comes the roar of the wind.
I stand on a sand dune, feeling the strength of the wind whipping around me.
Down below across the road way is a shopping plaza. The flags are snapping into the sky.
The seagals have stop flapping their wings and just hanging the wind, hovering and gliding beautifully.
The beach below is pretty much empty...

So many words taking shape in my mind.
My poor tongue is twisted into a knot.
My heart beats beautifully with the gentle tapping of the wind chimes dancing in the wind.
I stand on the water edge, casting my misgivings into the setting sun.
The ocean shimmers beautifully with the vivid colors of burned oranges, reds, blazing deep
yellow rays. The night quickly engulfs...

The days are quiet and a bit lazy.
Each morning, I awakin from a lovely deep slumber.
Greeted by morning coastal fog. Cool, refreshing, and wet.
Then the sun burns it away, and the day becomes very comfortable
at the right temparture of 70 odd degrees. As the day passes the gental breeze
begins to blow through out the coast and valley.
Everything seems so...

The times are dark and bleak.
Moments are fleeting and life is uncertain.
I bow to no one and l live large.
I will live free or die hard.
In my veins runs the blood of a warrior.
Tested and proven on the fields of battle.
I live under the banner of red, white, and blue.
There is no other place that is true.
I...

Everything seemed so vivid that I was unsure what exactly the begining begun and the end had ended.
