I know it's not going to stick around out there, but still....

S N O W !!!

hmph. 12 hours after saying I'm currently going through that stage of no connection, I dream some whacked dream and the only thing I can remember is a word:

Haran

huh? I don't know this word.

It was strange enough, and I woke with enough of a left over "aura" from it that the first thing I did upon waking -- instead of stumbing to the coffee machine, instead of going to the bathroom while that first gurgle of hot water hit the filter, instead of lighting the christmas-y cranberry candles over by the writing desk, was to give this mouse a kick and hit up dictionary.com

Ah, nevermind. More strangeness.

Simplest definition is simply a town in Turkey, near the Euphrates,

ah HA! the book I am currently reading, The Greenmantle, written in 1917 by some guy who very likely saw action in WWI, was currently taking place in Turkey near the Euphrates, so obviously I saw the word somewhere in the text last night in the few pages I read before falling asleep with the light on and the book on my chest.

I went back into the bedroom and took the book off the pillow beside where my own head goes, and scoured through the paragraphs.
Hmm, no Haran to be found.

could be anything really.
Or nothing.
Or I should try to get a hold of Dad... who I haven't heard from in years now.

if one thinks a thought like: "Or I should try to get a hold of Dad... who I haven't heard from in years now." i believe one must act on it.

the "set up" was no date, it was for me to fail, and today instead of crashing i caught an updraft and soared......

I'm kinda surprised I never mentioned it before, the tap dancing thing. I took it for three years, the third year I was in a class with four/five year tap dancers and I fit right in. It's funny, I was good at the moves, good technically, good rhythm and la la la, but the teacher always yelled at me for not smiling. Then she said for me to progress to the senior level, I'd need to take ballet also, so I took.... three classes? And I was horrible. ABSOLUTELY revolting. I do not have a graceful bone in my body. That is why I can tap dance well... that is also why I stopped taking lessons after that.
