Tuesday, with sun and haiku…

12/07/2005 Johnnyboy

My mom is at the garage this morning having her AC recharged. This is fine, as it gives me some time here without her. I’ll probably be heading out for lunch with a good friend before mom returns so I won’t see her until this afternoon sometime. Meanwhile a friend of hers called and needed to know what today was, as in ‘Tuesday’. This would have been funny had it not been so sad. As we age, the body and mind begin to fail us. Why? In his book “Jitterbug Perfume”, Tom Robbins postulates that it is a combination of diet, exercise, mental outlook, hottubs, and sexual energy. A healthy diet, a good daily walk, a positive and relaxed mental attitude, daily tubbing, and lots of passionate nookie fool the body and mind into thinking it’s younger than it is, hence, longevity, etc…The body has habits, and aging is one of them. Habits can be broken.

Here’s some more haiku for the day. I must say I am thoroughly enjoying ‘Haiku Tuesday’, as well as the other days that I blog, but this one in particular.

#51.
Acre and acre
planted with peaches and plums,
not yet harvested.

#146.
The flower garden
in the early spring, is full
of winters remains.

#152.
‘Hope’ is a nomad,
a hitchhiker, wandering,
knocking on my door.

Have a lovely day, all who read this. And if you do read this, please make a comment, even just a nod to let me know that you stopped by.

Me or Memorex…?

11/07/2005 Johnnyboy

The brunch yesterday went very well, much better than I had expected. It was really good to see Dan again, after so many years. He is as affable and friendly as ever and very disarming. Truly a nice guy, without any guile or need to throw himself about. And why should he? He’s not the sick one. That would be me, but I’m getting better. Jessica was prettier than I remembered her to be, and as brilliant as anyone could wish. Do I sound a little struck? I guess I am, and I guess I’ve always had a crush on her since we were kids. It seems the feelings haven’t changed. When it came time to leave, I asked her if she was staying in the area for a while–her response was that she was going back to NYC in the morning, but that she’d be around, and maybe we should have a drink next time she’s up in the area. I suggested lunch, so we’ll see what we do. She’s definitely what I would call a hottie–brilliant, sexy, cute, and…brilliant! I wonder what she looks like in glasses…hmmm…

Another day and another week begins. I have my orientation meeting for school on Wednesday, and some responsibilities to my mother and my new sponsee, but all the rest is all me. I’ll try to keep it simple and not get too riled up.
