You sound good and I’m happy for that!
I’ll be working in the Midwest through next May unless I’m required to get the App. Hope to go destroy and/or give away everything I left in Washington a few verrrrrry long years ago. Ice already accepted the fact some yahoo will bid on the abandoned storage unit.
No family to speak of (save in my prayers, of course) and some combination of shock, trauma and grace makes that okay for now. If I can just get back to the Beautiful place I left Mr B’s remains in Peace the plan is to walk until I can’t walk no more. Just like my fairy godmother in New Orleans taught me.
Had a hunch since I was a kid that’s about how it would go for me. I just pictured it in Colorado instead of out past the Olympics toward the coast where evidently, the owl called my name somehow.
(It wasn’t until I walked into the longhouse at the Makah museum one trip that I remembered I’d used that book for a speech contest in junior high. Shook me like a car wreck moment ... apparently enough as my life goes =)
So ... last chance to dance with the tomes in-hand! I’ll be posting them all book rate to the trads who got most of my Catholic and philosophy books already. Hope to take almost nothing back with me.
Many times at Poetry Hunter or rando Catholic Jewish or Prot sites, I’ve found cc’s of stuff I *know I posted because some of my typos were found therein! Always made me uh ... cringe with delight someone took out and passed it on.
That seems a good use of what time I have left with an internet connection. I’m sure I’d have been canned from Twitter long ago if anyone could figure out what the hell I’m on about THIS time. Some things never change. =)
Stay well. I’m gonna pick up where I left off by posting my long-promised Keunnelt-Leddhin (sp) excoriation of democracy using all those fine minds he quotes at length to kick off “Liberty or Equality” (ya can’t have both ... duh!)
It’s good to know that some of those old threads (some very much like a good car wreck) are still out there in reruns. You weren’t wrong about much. The truth is far too weird for most people to tolerate. You remain in my prayers, as always.
