Yesterday was fantastic.... barbeque down at the lake, good times stuffing in my face, playing cards with my friends, and jumping in 58 degree water (and jumping right back out again). I love JDR's boat (that was not meant to be innuendo). I love being with people who make me laugh, and forget about things. I love the feeling of just enjoying one another's company, as if nothing as changed, and it was still last summer and none of us had ever left.
I love Luke's amazing stories. "I thought I ate four eggs.... but it turned out I really ate six!"
Subbed for 6th graders today. They were angelic, so angelic, in fact, that I read 50 pages of Wuthering Heights. I also reviewed long division... oh hell yeah. They kept asking me if I was married to various people named Mr. Mitchell. What the hell. Do I look that old?
I love sixth grade logic. "It's so hot! Can't you open the windows?" "Well, it's 90 out, there's no breeze, and I've got three fans going, but sure kid, I'll open a window...."
I'm happier than I thought I would be. And still
it's like you're trying to fight gravity on a planet that insists
that love is like falling, and falling is like this...
