I have to thank ashes and a raven for getting me to realize at least one important thing: that I needed to come back inside for a few words, Only a smatter of days until Glimmertrain closes down ‘til the end of summer. I’m almost there.

Last month, I was a member of an online dating service and got taken for a sucker by profilers who were only really interested in getting me to sign up for adult webpasses. I’d sent two e-mails to this address before realizing it was somebody’s home business.

Then there’s the onset of familiar natural light; grey, a fuliginous eye on everything and everyone’s sense of world-place. How your speed doesn’t always have to match mine on la strada.

I’m not the last to reach what I don’t want. I saw and paid attention while making my spirit be known at the end of a doweling rod.
