Attitude

Hi,
What's this? Overcast skies? Cooler day maybe? Just what I need for running around town. And isn't it silly of me to trip on cooler days when I'm about to jump into a furnace? Yes. Yesterday's high will be the average low in Chiang Rai. Hmm, is this a cold snap?
I promise to give you an easy song for the weekend, even though Lane said this one was easy and Frank got it fast. What happened to the rest of you? I know, it's an odd one but you can do it. Here's the hook and that 'phrase':
"__ __ __ __ Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night" (x3) Clue: Now that you know what that line is, the song should be looping in your head. It was written by the Boss and the reference is to a '32 Ford hot-rod. Oh, but he wasn't the artist. Initials M.M. Good luck.
The August Chronicles, part 2: During our strolling adventure through the grounds, we took him to pool number one, which he hadn't seen yet. He decided, like last week, to lead us back. Only thing was, we'd gone farther with more turns. He started a little game with himself. At every fork in the path, he'd consider both directions, knowing that some led to garages and others to condos. We all got a good laugh from that and he finally got us 'home'.
Yesterday August pulled out his Leggo Phone, ask his mom where his numbers were, and began making calls. I got one at about 11:30 while I was getting dressed after a session with Franco. I needed adjusting after all the moving. It was perfect timing, that he called when he did. A few minutes earlier and I couldn't have taken the call.
Tomorrow is Lisa's last day of work! The end of an era is upon us. It's been a great career, which she embraced with much enthusiasm, and now she must go to detox. (Ha) We'll be watching for the physical signs: reaching for the Blackberry to check emails, thinking of things to do that are not her job, dialing numbers, etc. I'm making light of it, but after 30 years, there's bound to be a part of one that tries to hang on. Hmm. Transitions.
Speaking of transitions, 28 days and counting, to the biggest transition we've faced in a long time. I thought buying the house and moving in was major (it was) but now the perspective changes and relativity has importance. Life is always changing. How it seems or feels is usually based on what it's changing from. Or, to quote a famous hook: 'Tryin' to make it real, compared to what..' (tell me who that was, for bonus Cool points).
I've babbled quite enough for today. Off to continue to continue. Have a Positive Thursday.

Peace,
Danny
