Being able to stay in one place long enough to get to know regulars in several different places (Jerry) is also amazing to me. With my family, I move around quite a bit...well, twice I have lived in a place for 5 years, but that is the longest. I think you give me a great deal to consider on these pages.<BR/><BR/>I know I will come back here to visit you and read some of these really fun musings. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and commenting on my art today. I am always eager to hear what you find appealing in my work (who would not be, right?) I hope you will visit again, Jay.<BR/><BR/>Have a Beautiful Day!Andrea and Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337904921232330088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-69233440628116483662008-10-23T07:41:00.000-04:002008-10-23T07:41:00.000-04:00Good to see you on mine.Had an old friend who spen...Good to see you on mine.<BR/><BR/>Had an old friend who spent his time looking for a woman who had a brain like Einstein, cooked like Fanny Craddock, and had a figure like Marilyn Monroe; rather than a brain like Marilyn Monroe etc etc....virtualjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653404509129835617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-29032483583441023262008-10-23T04:33:00.000-04:002008-10-23T04:33:00.000-04:00Hey you with rock star ear problems and a perfect ...Hey you with rock star ear problems and a perfect caffeine buzz, I hear you.

I think yoga is "supposed" to teach us to leave the violence toward self bit out of the equation, but I doubt anyone is entirely capable of that. Your honesty is what attracts and gets to the root of the dilemna... so keep on truckin'.Christine Vyrnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15125525692093575724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-15032551956455484642008-10-22T16:06:00.000-04:002008-10-22T16:06:00.000-04:00Congrats on the award, thanks for sharing the sufi...Congrats on the award, thanks for sharing the sufi tale & I agree with you about dog personalities. :)Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-12791736053092733892008-10-22T00:57:00.000-04:002008-10-22T00:57:00.000-04:00Just get over it Jay, and learn to accept the fact...Just get over it Jay, and learn to accept the fact that people might actually like you <I>"just the way you arrrre!"</I> ~Billy Joel<BR/><BR/>'Sides which, maybe its the other curmudgeonly folks that like your stuff anyways?<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, I think that what shines through your crankiness is your care factor (definitely not zero) and the passion for your beautiful works of art (the writing).<BR/><BR/>So just say thank you, smile and shut up!<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-53794487227539114552008-10-22T00:04:00.000-04:002008-10-22T00:04:00.000-04:00I am trying to survive by not spending time in a c...I am trying to survive by not spending time in a cafe. First, they cost too much for my current circumstances. Second, Starbucks and its like still dominate DC. Terrible thing. But I do allow myself to have fair trade coffee sent from Dean's Beans, and I can sit at the table and see trees from my kitchen window.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, had too awful a day to be curmudgeonly here too. I'll leave that to you, though I am one of those who apparently doesn't get it, since whatever darkness you have seems pretty light to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-79946537497665624552008-10-21T21:25:00.000-04:002008-10-21T21:25:00.000-04:00I am just glad I am not the only one who writes er...I am just glad I am not the only one who writes erotic poetry about their coffee Goddess/Muse. And I have a thing for Curmudgeons. I am one, I married one, I have sprung two from my loins directly the rain hell on earth--Or not. They may be way too cool for that. Sense of Community, why do people get in here and feel good about your bitchiness? Because it validates them. Misery loves company, especially nihilistic misery in the midst of political and social upheaval- that is so twisted up on itself, that you have to generate Hope because its the only way to make your middle finger glow in the vast darkness of mass-self imposed ignorance that swallows the world in the great Cloud of Weaponized, Dogmatic Pooh! <BR/><BR/>Whew..
