Perky Thoughts on a Sunday Afternoon...
The darkness seeps in...it slinks and it slithers
Staining my mind like a beet's scarlet stain.
It darkens the truest and brightest of motives
Like storm clouds do swallow the sun in the rain.
Left unattended, the torrent is raging
Drowning the remnants of joy's hopeful sails
But just as the last of it threatens to vanish
Light pierces through and seeks to avail.

(that being said...I'm just fine and dandy...irritable and a little ill tempered from a short night's sleep and unfinished thoughts about enjoying the journey no matter what mile marker I seem to be at...but still...fine and dandy...so no worries, my comrades...no worries!)
On a happy note, Kev and I had a great time with friends, Marli and Jeff Shelledy, at Rocky Mountain Raceway last night. We've never been out there for the car races before, and were lucky to be with Jeff, a veritable expert on the ins and outs of track etiquette. We kept him busy asking questions...what a sport! It was windy, and a tad bit filthy, but entertaining (especially the girl with the cuts all over her jeans, tattoos and both cheeks and breasties threatening to jump out at any moment...eek. She opened up her non-supportive bra and stuffed her dollar bills into the side of her ample bosom, leaving Kev to remark, "Well, that should be a safe spot for it, 'cause nobody'll be wanting to reach in there to get it...")
Happy Sabbath and here's to the last few days of freedom...school starts on Thursday. Signing out...
