One Week

Back from Africa, essentially for a week.

Today was a unique day. One of the best in the world took
me aside to say " bid your time- don't do the nasty nasty
thing you had intended to do, you won't regret it."

Well . . . . . the problem person was like the friend I had
about eight months ago. It was like time had been rolled
back, almost scary. It felt really good to see that what I
thought to be dead, was in fact still alive. How to explain
it is beyond me. When I'm ready to attack with all my
might, the person I used to know appears, as if by some
force of magic. It's almost as if they can read my mind
and know it's time to "back down."

M. Pardew called me tonight. She's about as dumb as I am.
She misses absolutely nothing. The only person who I live
in fear of. Imagine, me totally intimidated by someone.
From the first thing she said to me " Do you have a pen"
to this very day, she is one person who I place respectful
fear in front of E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G else. I tell you,
even the bible tells you not to mess with her. It's all part
of the attraction. Few people can control me as can she.

Oddly enough, someone is sending me IM's for the first
time since October . .

'Abend!
