Ducks, dog, and wild Flower




There was a message posted on the board as I was leaving my meeting last Friday that someone, who started their new life about the same time I did, was hit by a car and died. It happened about two weeks ago, but the news was a flash to me. Here we are trying to improve ourselves, and all of a sudden BOOM your brought down. It makes me think of that southern expression..."Shhhiiitttt!" Need I say more? Not really. Here's to you Todd, God Bless. Enjoy the Pics.

cranky means you're Comfortable
















Hey Y'all, I had a good time last week riding up on the train to NYC with Shelley and then spending the day with her and Janusz. Then I went out to Ben and Den's for dinner which was wonderful. We went out to Penn country on Friday through Sunday. It was very pleasant. Met Scott and Frank who are in the picture with Ben and Den. The best thing I got verbally out of that weekend came from Frank. He was talking about Scott being concerned about people liking or not liking him. He said that he respected people who don't like him because he's got character, and not everybody is going to like his particular type of character. Now, this is certainly paraphrasing what he said, but I came away with a new insight on me, and those who don't necessarily like me. I wonder if character is like have big bone structure? Anyway, I got too. Ben and Den were the best of hosts while I was there. I only dream to aspire to be as good as them one day. I say one day because that will be all that I will probably be able to match their hosting skills. I will be sure to get pictures of it when it occurs. The picture of the framed art is one that we found along the way, and I had to have it. A must, because it is my inner self on film. So, we stopped back in on Sunday to buy it. I love it. We also discovered a little Italian Deli in the same town that had self dried salamis and such. The people in there were a great group to talk to as well as buy from. When I got back to work on Wednesday, I hit the ground running. Found out the Miss Adam's Morgan is early again this year. October 5th. Be sure to look for photos after that date. Oh, and of course dear Ms Yvonne. We hooked up with her in Clarendon at Eleventh. Food was very good. Enjoy the pics.

The good, the bad , and the others






I had several pictures to show. Not that any truly relate to one another. There is the dinner with Woody, he not shown, but Laura's and the family's friend Teresa is. Dad and Laura in there, as well. Then there are the two elevator call box shots that had the face looks to them. They look like brothers maybe, because one didn't have a down button there was a difference. They are a darker set faces wouldn't you say? The last is of Lorella and myself taken at Zita's during dessert. We had a good time. She having to deal with William eating crabs next to her outside and catching some of his splatters as he tore apart the crabs, but Laura got a good picture us the three of us with dirty crabbed hands. Hopefully she will post it somewhere, if she hasn't already. Enjoy the pics.

A Couple of Old Ones

Closed eyes and deft ears
But never mute
I try to breath tasting each breath
Feeling each touch
But all I smell is the loneliness of myself



Long before then there was now
There were the ideas yet to come
Feelings yet to express
Plans yet to make
But there was also you to share it with

But now there is no you
no plans no feelings no ideas
Just the memory of you then

A Bird at the head is worth...
