caring is creepy

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're now on.

Strange Saturday. The brightly coloured leaves against grey skies are breathtaking.
Had some QT outside with lil' Lill today. She is amazing. But the skies have turned dark and the cold has me running indoors and doing the chores.
Is this all that life is for?

disorder or disease?

Sunday morning I rode my bike up a one-way street. I have travelled this street every day for as long as I can remember---but it looked like a completely different street coming from the other direction. I wonder if you can see people in a totally different light if you approach them differently. Something to think about, I guess.


I was flattered by a student Friday. I assigned my classes to watch the debates and tongue-in-cheek invited them over to my house, since I knew I wouldn't be doing anything. Come Friday, a student told me he was invited to watch the debates at a girl's house. He told her, " No, because I am watching the debates with my teacher." Ha!


more thoughts--
An interesting weekend, for sure. I rented Suicide Club and kept pretty much to myself. Also got my hands on a copy of the Garden State soundtrack--good stuff.
I still wonder what the time line is on apologies--I see the leaves scatter and blow, but I will keep trying. I enjoyed a conversation with an old friend--he is always so receptive to me. Just wanted to thank you for that--even though I know you won't see this. It made my weekend.

and finally...
do you see me? wish you could see me now. if only you could see me now.
