Reasons To Be Cheerful

My neighbor bringing me eggs and herbs.
Spring.
The elder I sometimes see on my morning drive leisurely strolling down to the mailbox in his bathrobe.

woot!
I love quitting jobs. Well, I love it when I do it ... I don't always love it several weeks afterward. Enjoy your freedom and a lovely day tomorrow.

The ice cream truck stops outside our house.

That blank video with sound only above. Horrifying yet inspiring....

The darkness of the storm reaches into the shadows of the mind. The children screaming, quivering hands trying to cover their mouths; glass breaking under backs as bodies pile into the locker, he thinks of Kurt Vonnegut, he thinks this is a counter attack, he feels the earth lifting, oh shit he thinks, this is not a live bass solo by Less Claypool, this is my viscera about to return to the star dust.

We're gonna be alright.

I love you. I love everybody.

Time to give blood. Time to reach down deep and stop wondering if you can, if anyone understands. That aint what I heard they will say. It caint happin here.

Take my hand. Look, the roof is coming off, we are rising up into the furry of night's unstoppable will, as she bows beneath the stars. As we leave this dream for another, as we depart this nothingness for the unknown nothingness as nothing at last, what do they say?

We're gonna be alright.

I love you. I love everybody.

You come to in an old tomb. Your body is gone. There is soft blue light, it is around you, it is you. You see something that is oddly familiar, oddly sweet.



Among the suffering all flames go out, they are taken by the storm that is the universe, their flames are returned to that same darkness where all light bends and flies away away away. Goodbye, my blaze of dancing souls, may we reform again forgetting all of what we were in these ruins of worship.

Even though I had a devil of a time falling asleep last night and barely got a solid four hours of shut-eye - I'm AWAKE. ... I'm headed off to see my students who are a really GREAT bunch of people. I can't think of anybody I'd rather get out of bed for today.

The weather today, although radioactive, was superficially beautiful.

My son and I had a glorious play fight earlier tonight.

I planted some vegetables in my tiny garden.

The first ripe cherries of summer are in my fridge.

FINALLY getting out of town for a long weekend! 3 days in a row off work! Look out Seattle...

Ice cream truck can't get near my house.

I don't even hear the bin wagon if I'm not working.

The weather might get better.

Someone said something.

The biscuit factory might not close.

Those microwave antennae may not be frying kid's brains.

Trees still have leafs on.

That's about it.

A trio of yellow-bellied marmots are scampering on the rocks outside while rufous hummingbirds dart among the flowers.
