When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide

Hey there, and happy summer to you all! That's right, it's officially a new season as of last friday. Woohoo. So, some of you might remember a lil something I wrote at the last cusp o' the seasons, the vernal equinox. I think I may have made a few predictions then, and some of them even came true. The days did get longer! And it looks (hopefully) like the free world will soon be led by a black man.

Anyways, I'm not here to toot my soothsaying horn--however, said horn can blow for you for just $3.99 per minute! Dial 1-888-LIE-TOME* and I will tell your future!-- I'm just here to ramble a bit.

So, how's it been? How's your aunt? Is the gout getting any worse? I'm sorry to hear that. Oh, I'm fine . . . getting along quite swimmingly, really. Well, actually, I dunno how I'm doin . . haven't self-analyzed for a bit. But that might just be a good thing.

Wish I could make it to my family reunion next week, but, unfortunately I'm lacking the money and transportation. It would be nice.

Wish I could fix at least some of the problems that afflict those I care about.

Wish I could dance.

No, not really.

At any rate, I hope you are all as well as can be and that you will do what this summer wishes of you, even if you don't think it's what I would do.

What is it in us that makes us do things? I know, quite the profound, original question there. But, really? Have you ever found yourself sitting and thinking "What happened to the last five years?" or "Where did I put that umbrella?" I know, sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Well, I'll keep this short as I'm lacking the motivation to write anything real or substantial. You may have noticed the diminished frequency of my posts and the decidedly diminshed integrity. My apologies, been in a bit of a rut I guess, or maybe just coasting for a time. Yeah, that's more like it.

Oh, well, I'll fuel up soon.

Before you point your finger you should know that I'm the man

I'm considering voting for the first time this year.
