Post Thanksgiving
I guess I started an entry directly on LJ a long time ago and left it, because it just asked me if I wanted to "restore from draft." I clicked ok, wondering what i had started to write, and it gave me a blank entry. Hopefully the actual writing of this entry will satisfy the LJ memory complex ( Read more... ) -
Working and Learning
Writing has been going well. We've been doing freelance writing for a local company and are making moves to expand our portfolio. It's been fun and has been paying the bills, so it is definitely something that we want to keep doing. It's nice not working in an office and on our own timetable. I think I have finally found something with which I ( Read more... ) -
Back to the Trestleboard
We had a great Scottish Rite reunion this past weekend. My wife was honored at the banquet for completing the Master Craftsman program, and I am part-way through Master Craftsman II.
Anyone familiar with the lessons of the Scottish Rite, especially in the southern jourisdiction, knows that the degrees are designed to inculcate specific morals. ( Read more... ) -
Digging
In spite of the fact that biologically, it's an hour later than the clock indicates, I find myself wide awake. It's not insomnia, since I know I would probably pass right out if I actually laid down and closed my eyes. Nope, this is one of those times where I just don't feel like going to sleep. No particular reason ( Read more... ) -
Filler' Up
It's one of those times when I feel like I am supposed to write something here but have nothing in particular that I want to write. I've been working a lot, straight since the beginning of September, with only a couple of days of rest between now and then. I'll be going non-stop until mid-October. After that, I have no idea where I will be or ( Read more... ) -
Reinventing reinvention
As you can tell, I haven't had the desire to write much lately, not for the past several months. I have been writing in other forums though, just not on this one. I think I go through waves with my LJ, where I can't wait to write several times a day, and then almost nothing for several months ( Read more... ) -
What a Shame
Wishing and digging
Only finding dirt
Not at all the thing we wanted
Thick and foul-smelling
Forever, it seemed
On and on
Running each handful
Grabbing at sticks and stones
Everything worthless
Thrown away
Yellow, brown, and gray
Only rocks, no real value
Under each one, another chance
Reaching further and further
Lifting each stone
In the hope ( Read more... ) -
Red at Night, Sailor's Delight, Red at Morn....
"Boats, finally pointing the right direction"
In less than a year, one by one
I watched the fleet all sink and melt away
Some capsized, others burned
Crews on a few tried their best
Others will never know my trust again
On the most important, my hands were tied
And I could only watch it dash on the reef
As it followed an abominable current
Only one ( Read more... ) -
Two of Wands, Nine of Pentacles, Seven of Pentacles, Two of Swords, Eight of Swords
Thanks to my wife, some important things got done today; things that will result in some money, so I thank you, sweetheart. I also had some funny experiences this weekend, but since talking too much about them now might give someone undue warning, I'll hold off. Let's just say, in light of everything, watching this from a distance will be quite ( Read more... )
