***Sharing

Kelsey brought home a package of fortune cookies yesterday. The one I chose read:

Well, the next time I have bad fortune I’ll be sure and share ….

***Nothing Matters?

I think nearly everything matters. And the writer of this article thinks so too. Something to think on.

***Epitaph

I’ve been thinking about death recently. Not in a morbid way (I don’t fear death … ask me why if you want to!). Just thinking about it. A friend’s son died. That’s was a painful one … no child should die before a parent. A writing friend died … he didn’t seem ‘of this world’ to me, so I wasn’t entirely surprised when I heard he’d passed on. And then my hairdresser died … we weren’t really friends, but still it was a shock. He was only 60. (60 used to be old. It isn’t any more.) So I’ve been thinking about death.

Then, yesterday, I had “poetry square”. How I love my poetry friends! We laugh very hard together. Most of the time I get home and have to take a nap. I’m always exhausted. It’s not that it’s a sad-exhuastion, though. I get tired when I have a lot of fun!

Yesterday’s chapter was on epigrams. (The chapter was an appropriately short one!) So I wrote myself an epigraph. I hope someone remembers this when I die, so it can be typed up. Trouble is, I don’t want a headstone. So I’m not sure where it will go. But here ’tis:

***Klingon Anyone?

They are looking for a Klingon speaker. I’m attempting to help them by posting this at my infrequently viewed site. Really. I’m nice that way.

Multnomah County is looking for a Klingon interpreter — just in case.
The county doesn’t expect to be invaded by the alien warriors from “Star Trek” movies and TV series. But the office that treats county mental health patients wants to be prepared in case a client arrives in an emergency room gabbing in the galactic language.
“We have to provide information in all the languages our clients speak,” says Jerry Jelusich, a procurement specialist for the county Department of Human Services, which serves some 60,000 mental health clients.

Want to read more? Click Klingon Anyone? to get there. Then go to your local bookstore and buy the Klingon language primer. I’m sure it exists. They need you up in Oregon.

***Go To Starbucks, Take A Camera!

Really. I think it would be fun, don’t you?

***Countdown

Kelsey has been counting down the days for nearly the entire school year. I have only recently started doing the same. At this point she has 16 days, but actually even fewer if you take into account that the two days of graduation practice aren’t really serious school days and another day will be spent at San Jose Repertory Theatre seeing The Odd Couple.

Yes … it’s going to happen! I can still remember holding her in my arms. I can remember her first day of preschool (she was awfully young, and extremely cute with her pigtails and happy little face!). Middle school graduation was only yesterday … wasn’t it?

One day after Kelsey graduates from high school Jameson is promoted into Lincoln High School! At least I’ll still have one at home.

I just can’t believe how the time disappears.
