It's been a good day. I'm moving forward in various ways. Of all that, more later - maybe much later.
A favorite passage is in my mind tonight:
Ecclesiastes 12
1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
2While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
3In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
4And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
5Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
6Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
8Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
Sometimes, I fear that's me, all is vanity.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 54. Jeez, looking at that number, it's just hard to believe. And the darn thing is, the older I get, the dumber I feel.
I send you all love & respects tonight.
Mizpah!

Happy Birthday, Roger.
I looked up your Chinese Astrology chart and it said you are lucky with money, popular and charming. It said you are sometimes mislabelled as lazy, but are actually hard working. It also said you can be dangerous to know!
I never take any notice of these things. But does it sound like you?!
Happiest of Birthdays to you Roger. 54 is young!!!!
Happy birthday, Roger.
I am convinced one of the surest signs of wisdom is the recognition of how little we actually know.
It's today, right? Have a great day. Eat a fantastic dinner, and do something you really want to do!
happy birthday, my brother
roger, would it be okay with you if i asked you a quick legal question? i am not sure what your email is these days. just some advice from one online friend to another. :)
Darn, Clank, I gotta get me some of that Chinese astrology - that's me to a T.
