Demon.


Today I took Burger to the park and we chased a ball around.
I ran, as fast as I could, just for the sake of running as fast as I could.
Arms pumping, heart pounding, aiming straight for Burger and then,
WHOOOOOSH!
Right past him, veering away at the last second.
His eyes are so big, he is smiling so huge,
like he actually wants me to crash right into him
and take him tumbling to the turf.
He tests everything now.
His growth is as much a fascinating spectacle to him as it is to me.

After a water break I tell him we should run.
We should run as fast as we can towards the end of the field.
He looks off, then he looks at me.
Now we are running, and of course I am faster,
but we both know this is only for now.
He is right on my heels.
Breathing down my back.

I am running to preserve my stamina, speed and strength.
He is running full on into the joy of his physical youth.
With his eyes so big, and a smile so huge.

Relief on the Radio.



Calmer times. It's been a month since I had this doughnut. Oh how I enjoyed this doughnut.
This was when I still had an appetite. Oh what an appetite. A month later, my appetite is returning, and the doughnuts still find their way into my life. Keep your eye on the doughnut.
I just put tape up on the windows, of course I had moved all of my blue tape to the studio, so all I had to make due with was Green Bay Packer duct tape.
Well, better than nothing I suppose.

Other things that I got to prepare?
-Water
-Candles
-Crackers
-Bread
-Apples
-Bananas
-Gatorade
-Batteries for flashlights
-Canned goods

Things that I wonder about?
Will the car be alright?
Can we watch movies without power?
Why did I never buy a nice pair of rain boots
Where are places I'd rather be right now?

Oh my.

So, we will see what happens. It may be a while before I talk to y'all again.
Until then, don't worry about it.
Everything is going to be okay.
Everything is going to be okay.
