Saturday sights

Good morning! It’s a quiet morning here. There’s a cap of flat clouds, blue peaking out on the far horizon… supposed to clear but only get to 70 degrees.
Trying to decide if I am awake. Cuddling with my cat at my computer… he is much nicer once he’s been fed.

A blessed Yom Kippur to you. The Day of Atonement. We don’t celebrate it, but we should.
My friends who are practicing Jews are in temple today, fasting. Meditating about forgiveness. One posted yesterday about her “internal housekeeping” saying, “if there’s anything I’ve done to hurt or offend you in the past year, I’d really like to know about it so I can make amends if possible. If there’s anything I need to set right between us, I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d send me an email so we can find time to talk after Yom Kippur. I can’t think of any grudges I’m holding against any of you, so if you think you may have hurt or offended me, please take solace in the fact that I’ve almost certainly forgotten about it.” I wish we had a holiday like this. Seems so healthy to have a formal ritual to let go of all that. A blessed “reset button.” Amen.

Hey, there! What’re you doing today? Hope it’s fun!
I have to leave my computer. Don’t want to. The deaths yesterday make me want to reach out to all my old friends. Being doing some, could do more. Want to stay here and surf the web, and write to you! You are my favorite old friend right now. 🙂
But there are people to see, things to do. Head to my parents’ place. Try to shed some light there. Not sure what will go on after that.
I was reading over our early messages last night. Interesting to see how fast we reconnected, on multiple levels. And how we are sharing so much. And how much better my life feels today. I was joking on the phone on Friday about you exhuming me. It’s a gross analogy, but it is so close to the truth… Keep digging.

Midday greetings from my parents’ place! Thinking of you…
At my dad’s computer…cleaning out his emails. Nurse is here checking on him…BP is low, heart rate is up. Bad. Strange – he was more tuned in this morning than usual. I told him all the stories of the past two days…kept him awake for almost 15 minutes! We cried together for the UMass band kids. Big schmoos, we are.
Thinking about big questions. Not answering them. Will keep thinking.
Have a great day!
When I’m Up (I Can’t Get Down)

My pal went to the Great Big Sea concert last night in Boston. Said everyone danced in their seats from moment one, great show. Have you heard of that band? Kind of Celtic, rock fun times bunch of Canadian guys.
She sent me a song to listen to. She doesn’t know why I think it’s so funny. May it make you giggle like it does me, considering how high you sent me the other night. Hee!
“When I’m Up (I Can’t Get Down)”
I am the fountain of affection, I’m the instrument of joy
And to keep the good times rolling
I’m the boy, I’m the boy,
You know the world could be our oyster,
You just put your trust in me,
Cause we’ll keep the good times rolling
Wait and see, wait and see….oh wait and see!
His exaltation, a sweet disintegration.
A few discolorations, then it comes along
up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
There ain’t nothing he refuses, then it comes along
It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!
[Chorus:]
When I’m up I can’t get down
Can’t get down, can’t get level
When I’m up I can’t get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I’m up I can’t get down
Can’t get down, can’t get level
When I’m up I can’t get down
Get my feet back on the ground
He just needs, something to blind him
Something to wind him up
It won’t take long to find him
When it comes on strong.
Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning
The night is just beginning, and then it comes on strong
It comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!

I like it! All my yard work done. Been to the dump. I’m sitting in the shade by the pool with the dogs reading. Nice relaxing end of the afternoon.
September 18 at 4:08pm
up, down..I don’t care as long as you are there with me! 😉
September 18 at 4:16pm
A friend is posting photos of your beach. She’s there. Wish I was with her. And you. *sigh*
Phil September 18 at 4:19pm
AAA. Gorgeous day. Nice breeze. Enjoying it

You… tempt me to say salacious things. About your body and what I would do if I was there…
September 18 at 4:38pm
About my hands… on your face. Holding your head while I devour your mouth.

I love it when you do. Tell me what you want to do. I need an instant hardon. Need to press you against a wall, probe your mouth with my tongue as my hands roam over your tits and ass. I lift your skirt, find your pussy already wet, pick up one leg and slip my cock past your panty and inside you, fucking you you against the wall. That would make my day
