by all means, lay it out when, while & how you feel it. Who gives a shit if it's popular, and again, you do it very well.

Amen sister.

so what....

you don't like


Bob Ross and his happy little clouds?

I love all of this.
We went through the belated LOST obsession last year about this time. I loved the first couple of seasons.
I never finished it.

I'm curious to know your thoughts when you get through.

Uhm . . .excluding George Michael, L.A., and being a dick [I was far too slack to put enough effort into being anything] it sounds like we had a similar decade.

I do like your writing.

Speaking of which - - how do you pull off those nifty keyboard [formatting] things (e.g. the schwa symbol)?

Great thoughts, all. Friday nights are about the same around here - and I'd welcome the house asleep by 10 - what a nice thought. No worries on that being the current state of affairs at all.

I hear you on the George Michael and getting ready, and I did it then, too. I will admit to buying the 'Freedom 90' remake (not a remix, just an extended version recently produced) of that song.

Bless you for being 40 something and on this site; makes me feel better. I was sad to see some folks not as old as I am leave recently (_Trouble_ for one) and I was thinking it a sad state of affairs.

Happy almost birthday.

I'm glad you've decided to write more. As evidenced by the above, you've got a real talent for the language and words in general.

haha good for you. i need to recommit to art and some writing.... i seriously miss college when i had time to paint cause it's what i studied! ugh...

Since having kids I've definitely struggled to find "a good time" to write. Seems some times I do and sometimes I don't. I've re-read some years of my blogging and like you, though, man, was I witty or what?! My brain seems more like a wet blanket these days...but I'm committed to coming back here and rubbing those last remaining braincells together and putting SOMETHING out into the universe! I'm glad you're back!!

You know, I think what I am so saddened by is my inability to help. I feel truly helpless. I know it is just part of the process. I know we just have to get through this. All of us. Eliza, that is awesome! We used to call our boy "Smiles Davis."

My oldest is only nearing three...and already I dread what's coming
It's easy to love a sunshine-y baby...but a moody toddler? Or god help us all, a TEENAGER?
Some days I wonder what I got myself into...

I hope you & your daughter enjoy her birthday & that your relationship continues to blossom, your circle stays tight, and your beat, indeed, goes on.

aye, lovely writing, and a lovely sentiment.
Treasure the moments you can, and know those other moments are only . . . a natural part of them becoming - - their own persons.

Mourning....it truly is such a perfect way to state it. It is a mourning - and each growth into the next stage is at the hands of the death of another. Whether they be release or not, they are deaths of a life all the same. Geeeez...talk about morbid.

Amen.
I'm right there with you.
When shell let us into her life, its a fairly remarkable thing, unfortunately were shut out just as - - if not more - - often.
Best of luck.

That was an unexpected and much welcomed display of common understanding. Here is what is worse. I was a HUNDRED times the shit she is - shadier than fuck and beyond full of myself - it is what saves and skewers her.

Thank you. Those two were very close. All things considered everyone is taking it quite well, though every once in a while something will trigger a teary moment.

Today we also found out how much of an insensitive asshole my wife's twin brother could be. She says at least I know when to shutup.
