The Snow Man

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of...

meeting real swimmers fills me with awe and wonder and reverence...if you show him my times, he will scoff. i mean, they're great for me, but even at these meets...i'm always in the slower heats. they make you stand up and face the flag if they play the national anthem right before the meet starts, although i prefer meets like sunday's where they just yelled over the system "let's get ready to rumblllllllle!!!!"

winning is relative in these meets. you swim against people your speed, but the results are calculated based on gender/age. lately i've been the only 30-34 yr old woman swimming the breaststroke events...so i've been getting 1st places. works for me.

good morning!

I woke up this morning and realized that come June my entire crew will either be: a) married, or b) gone.

this presents a problem. . .

Lay Your Sleeping head, my love,
Human on my faithless arm:
Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:
But in my arms till break of day
Let the living creature lie,
Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful.

-From "Lullaby" by W.H. Auden

Yeah man, I'm a big fan of Mars bar as well. I took it as a bad sign that chick wasn't so into it. Great jukebox there, and I've made out with a girl at the bar, only to have the bartender ask if she could join in. My kind of place.

'tis but the truth. I'm going home to my parents house in a week or two to retrieve one. I like to keep them covered during the wintery months. I'll probably bring the '65 up. We could take a mini road trip to Coldspring or the Delware water gap(never been there). Might be an adventure. ARRR!!!

no shit. Check out my photos. You'll see a nice photo of (Libby) my '65. I also have a '71 conv bug (Faye) and a '77 camper (PPE) . I'm a little obsessed. So when so you wanna go crosscountry in the '65??!?!? I learned all I needed to know from my 'How to Keep Your VW Alive Forever' manual. It's the shit.

Hope you're having a good Monday. biggrin

I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And you can't help me now, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't...

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what Ive tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

The Dover Bitch

So there stood Matthew Arnold and this girl
With the cliffs of England crumbling away behind them,
And he said to her, 'Try to be true to me,
And I'll do the same for you, for things are bad
All over, etc., etc.'
Well now, I knew this girl. It's true she had read
Sophocles in a fairly good translation
And caught...

He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For blackbirds.
