I wrote the above as a joke to myself, and
have been waiting to see if anyone'd pick-
up on it.
Is it waste?
Or are folks 'reading the scales'?
Tonight, the wind is blowing so hard that
it's puffing-up my curtains :-]
I'll have to get some of that plastic window-
sealing stuff.
I'm pretty-sure I'm going to end this skip-a-
stone online 'life' tomorrow, so, if anyone
has been 'itching' to say anything with respect
to anything I've posted during it, please do
so before noon U.S.-E.S.T., tomorrow.
I really don't want to 'log-off', but I'll never
get to the work I want to do this winter if
I don't [to lift things, more, I've got to strip
myself of all the stuff that's 'comforting',
which makes me 'miserable', which makes
the work relatively-'pleasant'. I'll pretend that
She Loves me, again, and, maybe. that'll
get-me-through-it "-]
I've crammed enough into this online 'period',
anyway, no?
[I was really hoping that someone would
take up the challenge with respect to the
NYT article at the URL I posted the other
day.
I did Learn something new-to-me from it -
that there's "300 miles" of 'wiring' in 'the
brain'. Which is impressive because it's
all comprised of minimal circuit-lengths.
[Challenge, anyone? [Don't. You'll 'lose' :-]]
Man! "lose" is a word that =really= needs
a better spelling - 'looze'.
You won't 'loase' :-]
What this 'dallying' means is that I'm already
getting 'miserable' at the thought of 'parting',
once again.
Hold the Cheers :-]
'pathetic', no?
Where's David when I need someone to tell
me how 'miserable' I am? :-]
"Oh well."
This is as close as I can come to "Roasting"
you folks - my Friends - my Colleagues in
Neuroscience.
But, if you've got stuff that needs addressing,
address-it before noon, tomorrow.
I'm feeling really-old these 'days', and getting
really-'cheap' in this 'old-age' - want to save the
22-bucks x months.
I usually have a nice chat with the cancellation
Lady.
Like she's an old-friend, and enjoy being
able to talk with her.
I do the same when I'm out-and-about - lift
strangers up, and all that.
Dally, dally, dally.
"Parting" ain't, at all, "sweet sorrow".
It's just Sorrow.
But, at least, I'll have 'time' to cover-my-windows
[ the slatted crank-out kind - broken cranks :-]
It's 'fitting', I guess - "broken cranks".
Maybe pour some more ~~$10-stuff down the
kitchen sink. I'm into that 'plumbing' for ~~$50
already - to paraphrase Lincoln, "Nothing touches
the [clogged] spot." [Sorry, Abe, but I'm sure you'd
be the first to understand. Well, one of the first.]
Given the 'state' of the 'plumbing' in this pile-of-
sheet-metal, I'm reluctant to try the no-holds-
barred stuff.
Dally, dally, dally.
Books staring me in the face.
Many Adventures to be had.
But all I want is a "hand to hold".
Or, an ear to hear - so I can, then, feel Free to
seek a "hand to hold" - you know, where she
wouldn't have to deal with all the B.S.
I'll check-in tomorrow-AM.
