but driving home alone I got so sad.

Friend, it ain't gotta be that way!
Just give me a call! I'll cheer ya up buttercup!
Ya know I can talk a blue streak!

I've been mopey (I've been calling it) quite a bit since getting home from that hightime.  It's been easing up quite a bit, but it's good to hear you've been bummed too, Lynne and Tru (you know how I mean that).

Truman, I've been watching a documentary/interview with Barbara Kingsolver, and I am reminded of you.  Do you know who she is?  If I make a DVD of it and send it to you, do you think you would watch it?  I think you would see why I think you would like it.

You sure can, I will be happy to watch it.

Hey here is something too, see if you can find a copy of an article by Joel Agee in Harpers Jan. 1989 called "A Fury Of Symbols" The reference dude at my local library had been claiming he is hunting me a copy since before Alberta, (the province, not your mother) and I have give up on him, but it talks of Serendipity to the extreme.

...but you are no LaShawn!

This is a good thing, no?

Thought for today, thanks to ZZ Top, and the numerous others who have covered it before and after the Lil' Ole' Band form Texas:

"I heard my Mamma turn to my pappa and say: 'Our boy is way down yonder in New Orleans, Louisana! We cannot let him stay out all night!'.

And I heard my Pappa turn to my Mamma and say: 'You let that boy Boogie-Woogie. Its in him, an' its gotta come out!'."

Happy, Happy,

I have heard from Mouk, she is back from her Native Adventure and residing in a condo near the Safeway in Canmore. She has been offered a partnership in the tour company, which is great, I hope, and hopefull all will go well with the immegration folks on friday.

She says the first snow came early this year, on the 9th of August, and the clouds are low today, hard to imagine since it was so hot when we were there.

That's great news about mouk, Truman!   

It snowed on August 9? I love it.  How Brokebackian!
