The old room of refuge is looking a bit bare these days, with everything packed to go into storage, or packed to go with me. Or packed up in the back room of a thrift store somewhere. Took a few things in this afternoon, some small items that someone else could use. I am thinking I may have to pare down a little bit more, everything I have saved should fit but there isn't much margin for error here. And I was hoping to travel lighter than what I have going currently.
Got a little over a month or so before I hit the road, and say goodbye to the south for good (I hope.) It's getting somewhat annoying having to justify moving, and leaving Dent behind. Folks, I decided on this when the Megs started high school, we discussed it then that I'd be going once she graduated, and I made it clear then he was more than welcome to come with me, wherever I ended up going. Well, it's been FIVE YEARS. He's had more than enough time to get his shit together had he been wanting to come along. How much longer do you expect me to wait? I have even left it open, that if he can go back and finish the class program he started, and decide to come out west where I was, well all right, come on then, you're more than welcome. Somehow I don't see it happening.
Not much going on here in Hicksville. It's bloody hot, was up to 92 today, and the forecast is about the same for tomorrow. Summer is certainly here; it's odd, because usually it doesn't get this warm until August, right before it cools down again. Gotta love that global warming thing.
This could be interpreted as either a blast from the past....or just something absurd. Or maybe both. Folks of a certain age may remember this video, appearing on Saturday Night Live. Barnes & Barnes was the name the band went by and was a couple of friends, one Robert Haimer, and one Bill Mumy (yes, THAT one.). They got together with a friend to film this.... a certain Bill Paxton... (Yes, THAT one....)
Try not to sing along. Or Go ahead and sing. I don't judge. follow the bouncing fish heads.
Stay Tuned!
Aye,
