Hey, it's your call, but it's rather maudlin to watch. Me? I try to
view my life through the good ones whether I've had them yet or not.
Tim

As it is, Tim, my life between 19 and 43 pretty much sucked.

As fate has it, so does everyone else's, if they will it. Have I had the
same experiences as you? No, very different, but, and I'm trying to say
this in the nicest way possible, you just GET ON WITH IT, man! Don't
carry ghosts in your pocket, and move from a bad marriage onto better
experiences with a good woman (as it appears you have), but leave the
past back there in the dust. Jeez - you dredge up your demons like they
are with you still, which is sad. One of my favorite roff acquaintences
out west (and you know who you are) has much to lament, but instead
provides me with inspiration as to why it's better to look at the
sunrise than the sunset. Try it - you'll like it!

That would be the understatement of the year, if the reigning Playmate
of the Year showed up at your place and was going to service you like
you had never been served before, you would complain that Hugh Hefner
had her first.

No, If I were single, I'd likely not be that picky. But even better, I'm
happily married now, and can afford to be that picky. So, yes, the
scenario doesn't thrill me.



But I survived my time in the Roaring Fork valley without ever
becoming suicidal, developing SAD or valley fever.

You make it sound like Dodge City Kansas or the Mekong Delta. I would
hazard a guess that most folks survive their time in the Roaring Fork
Valley without ever becoming suicidal, developing SAD or valley fever.

Can't say much about how it compares to the Mekong, I served north of the
delta. Dodge isn't that different from any cattle trailhead from Sedalia
to points west. Even at their worst they rarely had more than one shooting
a day during season.
While I lived there, most folks who could afford it took long mid-winter
vacations to regions with more sunlight. I enjoyed the area and don't
suffer from SAD.

it's better to look at the sunrise than the sunset. Try it - you'll like
it! Tim


Actually, Tim, I enjoy both.
Not all demons are content to be exorcised or forgotten. I've outlived the
easy ones.
Somewhere out there its still possible that a little house on chicken legs
surrounded by a white picket fence still rotates to face the sun.
I've never forgotten the old hope that morning is wiser than evening. But I
also never forget Tanstaafl.

Would that either could say the feeling is mutual........eh?

Not all demons are content to be exorcised or forgotten.

What REALLY ****es them off is when you laugh at them.......or ignore
them......or call them by name......or lop itty bitty little bits off your
own incomparable self.

I've outlived the easy ones.

Most of us have gotten past potty training.........big deal.

True. But then, lemon grass sometimes still ecrus swatch the chromium round
and round the old fistula, ainna?

I've never forgotten the old hope that morning is wiser than evening.

And weebles wobble. Of course. Who COULD forget it?

But I also never forget Tanstaafl.

One sometimes wonders.......have you read ANYTHING since 1967?

It seems you enjoy the demons as well. Just an observation. . .

.. . . but sometimes the lunch is just, well, lunch. And sometimes it's
bread and water, and sometimes it's smoked salmon, cheese, and crackers
with good beer and good company.

who could just as easily remember the same day as a flat tire, but
chooses to think of the salmon and beer. Mmmmmmmm. . . salmon and beer!

What is it? Near Aspen is a depressing place to live in the winter or not?
You implied it was.
