Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Gloom, despair, and agony on me

Deep, dark depression, excessive misery...

Today is Birthday Number...



To celebrate my remaining minutes before they put me in the cold ground, I'll put the blog aside till Sunday.

(A very Happy Birthday to Dad and Kris, as well!)

    I can't believe you are actually able to blog under your own power at such an age!!!

    Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday.

    Thanks, both of you! Goodness, it's 6pm already, time for bed. And it's cold in this house, turn the heat up. My knee is really acting up, too.

    Happy Birthday, Jeff. I didn't know that they taught people that young how to blog. (I'll be 50 this 4th of July.)

    Mr. Twisted, watch yer language around yer elders or I might track you down & hit ya with my cane.

    A very happy birthday. And I hope you don't judge me harshly for enjoying the fact that you beat me to 40. You're welcome to beat me to 50, 60 & 70 as well.

    The first doctor that comes at me with a latexed finger is going to end up in traction. Docs, you have been warned.

    Happy Birthday a few days late! Keep your rickety frame together with a daily Flintstones vitamin and you should be fine.
