Shall this be a new day
Or an old worry, a restless night
Brave are those that try
Drifting within Shadows of Color
Love and Enjoy Every Day for it is a Gift

Mr. Martini's random blurts are pretty darned organized!
Lol..."Organized randomness" eh? I'll try to be more disorganized in the future...but, I can't make any promises...

I wonder if he wants a critique of that random blurt...
Just out of curiosity...about how many pages would that Word doc. be?

Greetings. It's me and I'm back again. Number two daughter has been officially married off in due and ancient form. With luck my old nerves and checking account will begin to recover before long.
Thanks for the birthday good wishes. Things having been a tad hectic in what passes for my RL, I haven't been able to respond individually, but they all meant a lot.

It happened at a church summer camp so it must be true, right? ;)

In the immortal words of, Randy Newman:
"Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it's gonna rain, today."
Well, rain-wise, there's at least an 80% chance here in Austin town. As for human kindness, Gov. R. Perry and the GOP dominated legislature still refuse to take Medicaid money from the Feds. Probably don't want to crowd waiting rooms with poor folks who can always go to an ER.

Damn, it's hard to believe it's coming up on three years since I met Nancy K. Baldwin...I met her April 10, 2010, the day after her 53rd birthday, and we were together until December of that year...geographic separation is what ended the relationship, without going into details...she was a huge influence on my writing during that year though, starting with the poem "Nancy" written April 22, and was the influence behind some of my most popular poems, like "We Started As Friends" which may be my most popular poem...heck, I would not be using the name DirtyMartini if it was not for her, that was her idea...and she did introduce me to the drink, which is a good thing btw...
Just reminiscing...this picture was taken May, 2010 at the Chinese buffet restaurant on Main St. in Somerville, N.J...my father took the picture when he came up from North Carolina with my step-mother for a visit...

How did you know I needed you?
That I really needed someone new,
How did you know I was alone?
When suddenly you came along.
Did you know you’d brighten my day?
That I really needed a friend today,
Did you really know it’s been a while?
That I have seen so bright a smile,
It’s been so long since I could share,
Time with someone for which I care,
I think we can both shed our past,
And make this thing really last
It’s been way too long since I felt like this,
A natural high, a state of bliss,
To be with someone who can understand,
The simple pleasure of holding your hand,
And after years of perpetual night,
Suddenly the future looks bright,
You brought me up from an all time low,
You came just in time, but how did you know?
04-22-10.

The following is currently on display in the intro passage of a story on another site.
"The tower's single room was dark, except for the light that entered through the window."
And before you ask, no, I am NOT making that up. (shakes head and stumbles away mumbling the alphabet)
