I have been Royally Foiled.
~
Okay, so the news is out. And then later i got a very touching card from Ph-R-D. Um. Yes. (Cheese, anyone? ;) But, no: truly much appreciated. I was born at home in Saskatoon on the winter solstice in the mid-80s, many years ago, just before noon in the middle of a winter storm. Today, i spent much of my day reading old entries into Notebook Of Fame, thinking of my grae past and grae future. ("Behind is pain, and ahead lies only pain: come, then, sit a while..."--memory-paraphrase: poem as epigraph of something by Manicom) Also spent much of day eating cheesecake and tarring skiis that are about 15 years older than I am.
Last night at about 10:30 i was walking to the mailboxes to drop off a letter and watching the stars and I startled something(s)--two deer, perhaps? Actually, they startled me. i couldn't tell what it was: one of the darkest nights in memory.
