"A need to tell and hear stories is essential to the species Homo sapiens--second in necessity apparently after nourishment and before love and shelter. Millions survive without love or home, almost none in silence; the opposite of silence leads quickly to narrative, and the sound of story is the dominant sound of our lives, from the small accounts of our day's events to the vast incommunicable constructs of psychopaths."
— Reynolds Price by way of the late Theresa Duncan.
Who I'd like to meet:
Gazing at the rain, I consider what it means to belong, to become part of something. To have someone cry for me. From someplace distant, so very distant. From, ultimately, a dream. No matter how far I reach out, no matter how fast I run, I'll never make it. Why would anyway want to cry for me?
—"Dance Dance Dance", Haruki Murakami
But love is what we want, not freedom. Who then is the unluckier man?
The beloved, who is given his heart's desire and must for ever after fear its loss,
or the free man, with his unlooked-for liberty,
naked and alone between the captive armies of the earth?
— "The Ground Beneath Her Feet", Salman Rushdie

So my neighbors finally came home and rebooting the router worked - hooray!! I almost took a hammer to it. Not really, but I kinda wanted to. Thanks for your help Mr. Techie Master!!
That's awesome! We all had a blast playing and would love to do it again. Thanks so much and thanks for doing the illustrations. I can't wait to see the video we took, I hear they where righteous.
so there's a rumor going around, well more like a prediction, that you will come to visit Ryan and i and and you will enjoy yourself and we will bbq in the backyard and you will eat bbq. and stuff.
dear john, i could never express how fantastic you are really, and how much i think of you. please throw me a liferaft since i am drowning in a dirac sea...many regards,
Stars burn like the trees grow like the ocean rolls like gravity knows and I forgot to mention fire but fire never forgets me, so sometimes my tongue tastes like ashes and my skin looks too much like charcoal but that's okay because I learn to peel away. Away the layers like an onion bulb. Away the layers like froth and snow and identity.
