The Church is apparently perfect and I need to be submissive. The world is black and white and I'm getting darker. We got along very well until my overtly religous sister moved back into town and got him going to worship in the middle of the night. There is a local right wing Catholic group that goes for this front of the church nonsense and a lot of religio/political stuff that I'd consider un er Christian. On the upside, the Church is just about dead here so maybe we'll let the nutters have it to themselves.

I almost never saw my Dad as a kid, since he was a second shift over-time addict. Now I have him at my kitchen table taking jabs at me most mornings and it is getting difficult. Oh well, I just got a call for another interview maybe I can go nuts on the work front and make myself scarce. musical interlude The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon little boy blue and the man on the moon. When you coming home...

Oh Griff...

there's so much here for me to process, but your closer is HUGE.

my friend...

I won't presume to tell you your business, to tell you what to do...But for me? That song's lyrics stand as a cautionary tale as potent as Moses holding forth from the mountain. I have lived my life accordingly. In fact, you and I have been in sympatico wrt song lyrics for a long time.

my heart goes out to you my friend.

my thoughts and words are a conflicting train wreck in my head. if something good/reconizable emerges when it comes to a stop, I'll share it then.
