Happy Thanksgiving to everyone -- and here's to a safe, healthy and happy Holiday Season.
-- John
Thank you for all these years and all those stories -- and for showing me important things about life and living.
Goodbye, Grams. You will be missed.
Love,
John
Command click and the window opens, to this. Got the headphones in -- Depeche Mode, at the moment. That shot of mescal is still backgrounding the night. We went from white-out to blue-skies and sunshine, today. And back. It's so cold now. Dark as ink spilled on coal. Shift to Bowie.
"And I'm gone...through the crack in the past..."
Still filling it up. Still pouring it out. Still shaking off the day.
Work tomorrow. But not till later. Right now...I have time. An hourglass with wings. Feeling it.
I like typing on this glowing keyboard. I like touching the aluminum. I like having these hours -- but not when they are threaded with thorns.
Ah. Such whining. Forget that.
Flutter by.
White has been pulsing here and back, today. Tides of fine snow floating down, covering and then melting away. A few flowers are still blooming through it all. The sky is milk.
I'm doing laundry while iTunes randomly plays the songs that I've loaded into it so far. (Which means that I've just cross-faded from Ministry to Ryuichi Sakamoto: groovy!) I'm amazed by how much having a notebook computer has reduced the amount of cables and plugged-in devices on my desk. I've gone from a bulky mass of wired and blinking items to a MacBook Pro, iPhone 3G, and a candle.
Sweet. Now, if I can bring that whole "simple and clean" look to the rest of my living space, I will be sailing some serene waters...
It is quiet outside, and in here. I'm glad I'm off work today. Time to check the laundry, and maybe have a bite to eat.
From Amy...
Thanks, Honey. :-)
Just chilling in Wednesday's waning moments. It's mostly quiet, here. I'm mostly tired. Back to work, tomorrow -- but not till later. I plan on sleeping in.
The night is dark and misty. It will feel good to get horizontal and relax into it. Others have remarked upon it, but I am a bit enthralled by the minor constellation of LEDs that now surround me at bed time. White, green, red and blue. Steady, flickering, or pulsing slow like a purring cat. There are tiny glimmers all around me in the dark.
I find them soothing.
I hope your day is as beautiful as you are, Button. Happy Birthday, Amy -- and here's to a wonderful year ahead!
Love,
John
It is blue-skied and bright, here in Pittsburgh. Autumn-tinged leaves look like specks of vivid paint and the air feels like spring -- but November 4th it is.
I've cast my vote!
Helping paint Amy's dining room while the tv plays in the background. PA went to Obama awhile ago, yay!

Yes we can.

Happy Birthday, Joel -- I hope you have a great day and a wonderful year ahead!
Life, Love, Happiness and Health, brother!
Love,
John
Goodbye, Aunt Mary. May you rest in peace.
