It rained and rained and rained. The world is wet,
And something's happened to my internet.
Verizon's on it, 7/24,
But truth be told, they need a little more.
I found a place where I could go and write:
This Starbucks closes up at 10. Goodnight.

and raining and raining
if internet service went out i'd go bonkers, too.
Midst atmospheric damping,
When mind shuts down
From inspiration's clamping.
When rain's domain
Lays its claim
With creativity decamping,
It's best to rest,
To slink to sleep
Where ideas leap
And magic works its zests
Through forests out of fairyland
Where diamond eggs hatch out of nests.
That frizzy and frizzier my curls get!
Or something.
Verizon - you take that when you need to fly somewhere ?
Starbucks. Hmm. There was a movie, or a lot of movies ...
about coffee ?
I get a sense of disjointedness here,
like it's raining but you need to catch a 727
and there's a movie ...
I'm seeing Carrie Fisher and her bio.
A pill that calms my nerves,
a person at a keyboard
not Keith Jarret,
someone I know somehow ...
Is this about you ?
pastvoices, yes, weary. But it really gets compounded when my internet service is down. The list of things I can't do without it gets longer every day.
Muse, and so I did. It is sweet of you to come by to wish me well.
Gabby, thanks to you too. It was lovely waking up to all these greetings this morning.
vanessa, well it was apparently only 48 hours. So there aren't too many scars. But I empathize on the rain. Man oh man.
Jan, how excellent that you stepped in out of the rain. Just leave your boots by the door.
heidibeth, now THERE's material for an open call.
froggy, thank you. With my service back up I was able to stay dry and have hot soup for lunch as well. It was an excellent day.
trilogy, aha you caught me. I had to move it around so it would scan properly. But having granted them the extra bit, I found that they did finally come through.
Kate, yes... I do have really bad beard days, myself.
Kim, I knew I'd see you if I wrote a Goodnight. But you know, sometimes I could use your stream of consciousness. Mine can get pretty dry sometimes.
Dave, I made myself a promise for 2010, and I'm too close to crack now. But thanks for the compliment.
anna1, I did sleep, and plenty. Since I had to get my post in before Starbucks closed, I actually got into bed on time. It was quite the luxury.
Thank you all so very much, once again, for your patience over the last few days. It's great to get back to you.
