Falling apart

Thanks to James W Johnson

Lately my body feels like falling apart. My eye got bloody over night, I went thru small surgery and got stitches, and now I broke a piece of my nail and had to cut it off. Also, I suspect its time to change the number on my prescription glasses.

Small stuff, but together it tends to remind me the fragile character of this flesh, bones and blood exterior we carry around and rely upon.

I tend to take it for granted, but now and then I stop and have a short moment of enlightenment as to how lucky I really am. Even with my celiac, short eye sight, and stomach problems, I am still mostly healthy. Got all my limbs and important organs intact.

So thank you god for that. and thanks for the luck I got. It's not always what I want, but most of the time, it's what I need.

Nanu Nanu



Been watching a lot of "Mork & Mindy" lately. Can you tell?

Love it. The first season was great. The second season was tailored for younger crowd and slumped some, but I still like it.

Robin Williams is a one man circus, and the other actors are basically supporting roles (mostly) to help him deliver the jokes.

I bet (if) he looks back on this show's episodes he wonders "I really was that skinny once? and whats with that hair? what was I thinking?!" But he still smiles.

For myself I see the sadness in him. even with the crazyness and all the joking, he always striked me as a sad person. using humor to hide his sadness and drawing from people laughter the encouragement he needed in life.

I dont know that for a fact, its just a feeling.

That, and he is known to be bi-polar.
