financial tool

i must recognize a recent loss to our family. what may look like a lowly calculator is really a trusted financial advisor.we have spent many nights together trying to make our budget add up. i have wished many times this friend would lie to me and make the numbers work out. but no, he was a haven of truth and made me feel sick to my stomach many times. i would like to think that age and not our financial numbers ended his life.

is it worth the effort ?

do i really need to go in the other room? can i just stay in this room and accomplish what i want to? i am sure hell has child gates.

i'm wearing my humanity

facing one of those days, i told robin i couldn't get out of bed. she said i had to, i was our only hope. great.....how hopeless must my wife feel. it is hard to inspire people sitting on the toilet with stress diarrhea.

who am i to be ?

C. S. Lewis wrote in The Weight of Glory,
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. . . . There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.

it makes sense

i was kissing robin this morning and i told jade i just love to kiss her mother. jade replied " who doesn't "

it began a long time ago when i met a girl...

i wish i was the souvenier you kept your house key on
i wish i was the pedal brake that you depended on
i wish i was the verb " to trust " and never let you down
i wish i was a radio song , the one that you turned up
i wish
i wish

she is my girlfriend and my favorite wife.
