The details have to be resolved later, as I'm sure they will. But this finally allowed me to realize just how much I've missed this:

& it had me crying in the shower. Big wet happy tears of miss & relief & a whole lot of other feelings I just wasn't able to extract from the mess. That's a great place to cry, anyway, the shower. It's just not that big of a deal somehow, a few tears when you're being completely covered from head to toe in other little drops of water. That's become one of my favorite moments of the week, the Sunday shower. Just me & my thoughts & my (thanks to Hillary) coffee cup Jesus. Getting reheated. Rehydrated. Recaffienated & re-calmed. (Yes I know, now I'm just making up words as I go. The priveledge of the non-native speaker.) For, as the song goes: 'Winter just wastn't my season', & with every Sunday shower, we're leaving it all a little further behind, as spring takes another little step in our direction.


Now, if you'd excuse me dear ones, I have adventures to plan & pack lists to write.

Song of the day: 'Mx Missiles' - Andrew Bird. 'Are you made of calium or are you carbon based - Cause if your made of calium I'll have to take a taste.'

Quote of the day is from 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams:


’Ford had his own code of ethics. It wasn't much of one, but it was his and he stuck by it, more or less. One rule he made was never to buy his own drinks. He wasn't sure if that counted as an ethic, but you have to go with what you've got. '



Now there's a moral principle I might just be able to pull off. You have to go with what you've got.


Yes.

What I've got: No money & a taste for wine &/or Sidecars.




oh, & as of today - tickets to Chicago. So, all you gorgeous Illinoians out there, if you feel like helping me keep my morals up, or happen to be driving down to Tennessee come end of March & wouldn't mind some gorgeous company - call me.




Love & suitcases of coffee...
