Ordinary Life

I let my piercing grow back... "just cause I wanted to" (pretty much same story as when I had it done, eh?) ...moving on to the next Shock & Awe ... suggestions anyone?

Who needs whiskey when you've got Willie ? I drowned my problems in a bowl of this peach cobbler like concoction last night, while watching The Prestige and trying to figure out how I, too could make myself disappear . . . it didn't help as now there's more of me to try and make vanish....but, yum, it was worth every calorie.

haven't found a bridge high enough yet...

Limited Edition Flavor worth the splurge in calories if you like Reese's Cups or you've ever eaten a Banana Peanut Butter Sandwich (don't forget the mayo!) and enjoyed it. ((kelly raises her hand-twice))

Ever see one of those soft shoe face offs? "Anything you can do, I can do better" set to the beat of tapping feet, all in the name of fun and dance... Seems Little Sister and I are competing for that beautiful multicolored cloak and the title of Family Joseph( ine ) this week... She sent me her own crazy dream and last night, as if I had to declare an answer, I too, had another strange adventure in Dreamland ...which I won't bother to describe because, like other people's vacation photos, I know other people's dreams can only hold your interest if they include nudity. What I woke with was this realization, and I may be a few centuries behind here, but " If you can dream it, it's a possibility" (which at this very moment, in another web tab, I am discovering, is sort of a Walt Disney quote and/or franchise, too) What seemed a new and fabulous thought to me had a lot to do with construction and creation in general. In my dream, I entered a building w...

Little Sister Rises From The Ashes Emerges With New Man By Her Side

Previously, in Constantinople , I called for a Daniel to step forward... ha! And no one corrected me... I suppose y'all know me well enough to understand I cannot and should never be corrected... But I'm not to big to correct myself...as long as I get credit and am widely recognized for such a brave and noble act. I can't believe it took a week to dawn on me that it wasn't Daniel who was the dreamer of dreams... everyone knows it was Noah ...

Article by Michael Kraft in the Charlotte Conservative News about Dad's David & Goliath like declaration: Tim Carnes, Lincoln & Graham by Michel Kraft “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.” Abraham Lincoln Or better yet, Abraham Lincoln on Lindsey Graham and others that do not represent the best interests of America. Those who rise up will come up from nothing and from the ground to lead us. We will once again look to the ordinary man to take the place of those that lose touch or turn their backs on Americans and the rules of law. Perhaps Tim Carnes? Who? (Exactly) Who and why not?Apparently Tim is a “never-been” politician but always been American Conservative. He has offered his service to our country, and we support any true conservati...

Opted for Evan Almighty last night, over Transformers , since the outing was to be a family affair. Good Movie. Moving on to the real reason for this post... I've posted (read: GRUMBLED) about this before, way back before the Great Erase I think I had titled it something like W.W.J.D.D. ( What Would James Dobson Do? or Rules to Live By (in order to remain a member of the "club") It isn't that I don't esteem JD's advice, and even TAKE it on many given issues in life... some of the gripe is that, without some sort of handy, pocket sized reference book as to what The Man would(or wouldn't) say or do at any given moment, I find myself doubting the "Christianity" of my actions...I experience the tingling sensation of paralysis running througout my faculties. I know, I know! I see the puss oozing out of this wound... it is ugly and in need of repair, but it is akin to the counselor needing therapy... I see the problem, I admit there is a problem, I ...

I woke with a word in my head: CONSTANTINOPLE ok ...so, I should probably hold off on theater popcorn so close to bedtime, eh? well, of course, despite its absolute absurdity, I googled Constantinople, because it isn't everyday I wake with words already on my tongue . . . and imagine that I have found no earth shattering revelations nor even coincidental occurrences ... some mildly interesting trivia and a bit of a history lesson perhaps... SO, if there is a Daniel in the crowd, who would like to step forward with an interpretation, I would be most amused... (heck, I got the Wiki link for Constantinople to prove I'm game for most anything... I googled my dream, you see?)

Good bye Tyler Brewer, Hello Tyler Johnson! May this official, "legalized" welcome into your family prove to be the catalyst you've hoped for, the change of scenery that makes all the difference. All the best for your future . . . Love Forever, Kelly & Dad " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" --William Shakespeare (likewise a stinkweed by any other name would stink to high heaven...focus not on the title by which you are called, dear one, but on the good you hope to add to the world.)

Mrs. Carol Hurte passed away this weekend after a recent sudden illness rounded a corner of no return. She is to be visited with tonight- her body, not her soul-then buried tomorrow. What a sad day, what a profound loss. Carol had a devoted husband of many years as well as two grown daughters- one married and one who was to be married in four days' time. She was young. She was integral in the daily operation of a large church, but had been just as integral 25 years ago when the church was a third its current size. I remember thinking of her as sort of a Door Bouncer for the Preacher when I worked at the church as a teen... you had to cross her desk to get to him, and well... it had better be important! :) Oh! and she could sing... my, could she ever! It has been several years since I was in my home church back in North Augusta, but it makes no difference, I hear her name and that is enough to set off her husky rendition of "Ship Ahoy" in my memory. I can still see her in...

Seems my ol ' SC ink was foreshadowing of a sort... my dad has announced his intentions to run for SC Senate... CARNES FOR SENATE

In preparation for the Keys trip, I checked out every Hemingway volume available at the Islands Branch library... I got less than a chapter into ISLANDS IN THE STREAM before losing interest and replacing my road trip read with 41 STORIES by O. Henry (a.k.a. William Sydney Porter) In my humble opinion, the Keys and Hemingway are fitting of each other... therein is some great stuff contained, but fly don't drive... the homestretch can be a long and winding journey otherwise. I finished the forty first O. Henry story last night and plan to search out more... though the verbiage is antique, the stories kept me from ever reclaiming any of the Hemingway stuff during the trip. In the 41 selected short stories there was a lot of humor, plenty of lost souls, and a gauzy, transparent veil into O. Henry's own life, now that history causes hindsight to be so easily obtained. When I checked the book out, it was like most things that go well for me... on the wings of a whimsical wind... I...

So-- it's been a while... I've been to Key West to swim in the deep blue sea- but I'm back home in Savannah now and I should be back in regular circulation soon, but I've got some computer issues to resolve before I'll be back DAILY (a tiny disagreement, our PC on the front lawn... believe me, the story is too long to get into right now) I'm working at getting a few photos up, but between the computer "glitch" and Yahoo Photos closing down, it may be a while before I can sort and label the 200+ pictures from our trip..here's one to hold you over:
