Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 12, 2013

Looks like a shrine to me.

Somehow I can’t see it.

Once Morgan finishes his introspection he’ll do his makeup

and que Stel

He’s concentrated so hard that his mouth has disappeared.

Morgan seems to have started a fad….

Everybody must be feeling pretty introspective tonight…. staying home and talking to themselves….Oh wait…. that’s introverted …

No one is at the Tiki practicing extrospection….. I mean extroversion…. I mean…. you know…. chatting.

I’ve had a busy busy week…. just winding down…..

Need to sit down for a minute then tackle some stuff around here….

Hi Fenton…. is anybody else here?X are you lurking?

Red used to come in this time of night….I always just miss Bev….and Shika before that….. Where has Stel been?

WOW! Look!I just got a postcard….

it’s from Stel anjd Bev!How pretty….. but…. they’re home…..

Oh I see… postmarked August 1st…. It really IS snailmail…..

Let’s see…..

Aw, you guys…. thanks…..

Stel and Bev, I mean….

Oh…. would the rest of you like to read it?It’s OK….

If you’re like me you’ll need my reading glasses… just click on them…they’ll help….

emjaycee…. You went to college in a lake?

Some people just can’t pull themselves away from the mirror.

Well…. I drifted off a bit….

Just resting my eyes, of course….

And when I woke up … I mean when I opened them…. my watch said 2:22:22

I will take that as a sign…time 2 go 2 bed.

Goodnight 2 all of U!

Oh… you sneaked in there, Grog….good morning and good night!

How do I love me? Let me count the ways…

And good night to you, Susan. I’m always working the day shift.

A cult of one.

Morgan may be doing a meditation series like mine where messages you get say things like

“This field of pure potentiality is within you. It is your inner space that gives rise with amazing fertility to all of the divine qualities of the universe, including love, grace, abundance, joy, creativity, and freedom. You are a unique expression of everything in existence, and you shine with the beauty of a million stars.Our centering thought for today is:

I cherish the beauty in myself and others.

If I were not busy it might have me behaving like Morgan, but I prefer to keep up with projects in the Barony and messages to my lover which I must send in spite of the fact I know I may just annoy him more.

Closing parenthesis and quotes is always a problem.

How does he get along with no mouth???

“Yes MOM!! In a minute.”Singing to himself a tune from West Side Story“I feel pretty Oh so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and bright!”“And I pity, any girl who is not with me tonight”(Lyrical change to a male point of view)

………..it’s past time for our tiptoeing through our tough years…..

(Psst…. Stel…..

You’re right…. Bev got the green glitter cos she often asks for green toenails…..I was going to remind her, too….but you know…. I didn’t want to upset her….I mean…. her memory is…well…. she IS getting a little …. you know, um… older… )

(Unlike, say…. moi… )

tyme fer a nanner donke DAKERY……

@Ling,My lover lost his only son around that age to lymphoma (he had three teens when we met – to my 4). The kids have all since married. He keeps his feelings totally to himself so I’m never sure just what he thinks (but he seems to think he has told me everything).

I was delighted when we got together after more than 2 decades last year, but it appears that I’ve done something wrong and I’m not even sure WHAT. Even with all my apologies it seems it is ending (again) but ?? I have to concentrate on breathing exercises and my BP and hope that someday before I am gone . .

Ooohhmmmm…Morgan listens to his inner mantra and tunes Millie out.OOOOHHHHHMMMMMM!!!!!

It is unnatural to lose one’s child. I am sorry for your loss LING. It seems unbearably poignant that he looked for his robust youth in the mirror.

DAZZ, I am sure you’ve done nothing wrong. Your man seems a very private man who has his own demons to deal with. Don’t pine for him. Let him come back on his own, if that is meant to be. Enjoy life to the fullest as it is.

SUSAN, what was it you were saying about older people losing their mind, er, memory? I keep forgetting what we are talking about. Green glitter? What colour did you do mine? Lilac, I hope.Er, I THINK I was getting a pedi. At 4:23 or something like that…

HAPPY, now there is a chicken dance to end a chicken Dances!

I love that postcard, STEL AND BEV.

Um, perhaps mine got lost in the mail??…

Good Night sweet BALLARDEERS.
