I'm not hiding, just resting. I worked my butt off on the house today. I also wimped out and stuck the air conditioner in my bedroom window. I caved. I've had too many sleepless nights lately.
I was out of beers. My friend Amelia the pilot came over for a bit. She donated five beers to the GC Fund, bless her heart.

Hi all, hi AD. Nice to meet you.
...sleeping bag...deck chair...mosquito repellant...guitar..a bag of smokeys I found in the back of the freezer if anyone is hungry , coffee and the makings for paralyzers for those who need it...
Ok. what are we looking at up there tonight, 2long?
Gray, it was such a good day. There was a bad scene but we worked it out .
It is a beautiful night here and I wish you all could feel how I feel right now.
I am peaceful, happy even, and I want to savor this moment.
I want to sing.
Shul
Love never fails.

How'd it go?
And what will you sing tonight?

We had a bad scene here a couple of weeks ago, and I threw him out. He is back, but with the agreement that there must be no violence, ever again.
So it is more what didn't happen.
We had a tense morning , (no clean socks and the power was out, so no coffee or breakfast) He went off to work in a huff, but then called me on his way to say "I love you and I'm sorry for being an [censored]. I appreciate everything you do for me."
He didn't yell, or swear or call me names. No door slamming even. He came back straight from work and didn't call or see ow. Hasn't seen her for a couple of weeks. Doesn't answer her calls.
He is being loving and reasonable.
I am content.
Love never fails.

Shul, that is awesome. I can almost hear the peace in your voice. . . it's not resignation, it's honest-to-goodness contentedness. Thanks for sharing it. You just made my night. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> slh

(shuls version, with apologies to Billie and Ella ...)
'My love must be a kind of blind love,
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, I wonder if you find love,
an optical illusion, too?
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
cause I only have eyes for you.
The moon may be high,
but I can't see a thing in the sky,
cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.
You are here, so am I.
Maybe millions of people go by
but they all disappear from view,
and I only have eyes for you.'
Your turn...
Love never fails.

Shul, has he sought treatment for his illness?
I'm glad you're happy tonight. This evening, in the midst of chaos (my home improvement projects) I spent some time trying to create a few small pockets of sanity in my otherwise dismantled house. I'm still at it, but taking a break to post and listen to John Coltrane. Now in case anybody should think I'm posing and trying to be cool with my groovy taste in 60s jazz music... I also listened to Simon & Garfunkel tonight. 2long, "America" is such a good song. I listened to S&G's Greatest Hits record a lot when I was a kid. Back then, "The Boxer" and "I Am a Rock" were my favorites, no contest.
Mr. John is almost done. It's ALL VINYL tonight. I have an okay collection... not great... but not bad either. Maybe 100 records.
Maybe I should put on some silly 80s rock. I have a little. A few Van Halen records, mainly. I was GA-GA for Van Halen when I was in Jr. High. I still love the David Lee Roth stuff.

Coltrane...you are a man after my own heart, Gray.
(He refuses counseling, but I have a devious plan...)
This one is for slh:
'Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get be brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get be brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done

Right now, right now

Just Jupiter 2night!
Seeing was pretty steady earlier, so I shot a bunch of vids for later processing. Now, it's all wiggly. Jupiter looks like a jellyfish on the screen...

Shul, that was great.
Do you have all those on your computer? We need to get together and swap mp3s. I like your taste in tunes.
I think I have every Billie and Ella ever sung.
Though I do not do "do [censored]". In no way shape or form. :: sigh :: Too 50's. I do 20s,30s, 40s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and now, but I detest the 50's with some exceptions.
I have some weird hang ups. Isn't it sad??

2, do you ever post your pics on the web?
My H worked for NASA for a while and designed flight hardware for the astronauts. I used to love taliking with him about astronomy, space, etc. I'd love to see some pics if you have them on a site.
We could pretend we were really there, and not stuck inside.
The moon and stars are hiding from me tonight. I need a drink.

SLH:
No, I don't have them on a website. I probably should, but then everybody would know who I am!
I have some Mars pics on a website with a bunch of other folk units, but my name is out there, 2!

Shul, you're batting 1000 tonight.
SLH, it's not a doo-[censored] version of the tune. It's got a plinky piano part, and the background singers say something that sounds a little like "doo-[censored]-doo-[censored]", like...
(doo-[censored]-doo-[censored])
You are here...
(doo-[censored]-doo-[censored])
And so am I...
It's super cool.
The only doo-[censored] I really go for is Frank Zappa's.
