Memorial Day Weekend...

Thanks for my freedom, Daddy.

It's nice to take a nap whenever I feel like it.

High School Reunion

* * * * *

If I would have any 'wisdom' to pass along to younger people,
it would be to attend your high school reunions
as many as possible

It was just a small gathering last evening with
some of my classmates...
After 43 years, things change
but how good to see those that showed up;
what insightful catching up and
what warm and wonderful hugs

* * * * *
some of the boys of 1967

I know - you're tired of me saying 'love'.
Too Bad!

I LOVE Esther Pearl Watson's work
I love folk art

and the name of this masterpiece :

Moving Before the Landlord Finds Us

We certainly know that level of
real estate ownership...lessness

...as birthdays go...

* * * * *

spending the day
doing what YOU like;
surrounded by people
YOU like and who like you back...
perfect.

reminded me of a post I read recently
about Cirque and their Alegria: the

"pricelessness of youth and the inevitable passing of time".

it's fine...actually, it's perfect.

Theory

* * * * *
People say you don't miss what you never had.

I might not MISS having a sister,
but I think if I had one
we would have been friends.

Well...maybe not the DOUBLEMINT GUM sisters...
but friends.

Hmmmmm....."away"....

* * * * *

I don't travel on vacations like I once did,
but had I known about this place
sometime, oh...say, in March...I think
I may have gotten "away" for a few.

Get how this place has been described:

"An Oasis and Respite from the Outside World"

"A Holistic Paradise..."
