Cinnamon & Clove & Oranges

1. Stepped out this weekend on two consecutive nights & discovered much to my surprise that I'm not as rusty as anticipated. I suppose somethings are never forgotten.

2. Opium addiction accounted for, Sherlock Holmes is one bad ass dude. Shaft was a towering brother whose presence alone would cause encourage your complete cooperation. Holmes is an average built man, whom you were under no inclination to acknowledge until he started rambling about most personal matters of your life after having met you for merely five minutes. Each dangerous in their own right but certainly not equals.

3. There's nothing like coming very close to losing your mother to put all of life's trivialities into perspective. It all became clear as a bell within 2hrs.

4. I'm asked ever so often what makes up the substance of my dreams. The honest answer : I dream of the days when all of my friends, near & distant have succeeded in accomplishing their goals and the most stressful conversation we have trying to get everyone in one place for a gathering old friends. I dream of those sappy Baby Boomer backyard BBQs, with kids running amok, pets lounging in the shade, and the retelling of the same tales from our 20s.

5. There is no point in taking your significant other out on a date if you have don't plan on the spending the time out with them exclusively. S/He should not be sitting at the bar, drinking alone, while you & your friends sit in the corner laughing like school girls. I'm not saying ignore your friends, rather keep your priorities straight. It doesn't matter how much of a sure shot you have on your hands.

6. Acknowledge the surface, don't become engrossed in it.

7. I must find a way to wear boots, chinos, & sweaters daily. This has to be the most comfortable uniform I've had in years.

8. When taking a man's life, it cost nothing to be polite - Sir Winston Churchill on formally declaring war

9. Sweet Potato Pie is on my mind!

Variations of Self

1. You save a drowning person via safety doughnut. Why? Because their fear of death will kill you & the help your personal involvement could offer. 2.

Really Big Shrimp

1. I really wish I would have learned to enjoy the moment for what is a lot earlier on. I would've saved myself much confusion & disappointment. 2. To be critical or to be creative, that is the question. 3. In the event someone ventures to ask you what their take home message should be from a given exchange, respect their willingness to acknowledge the limits of their understanding & give them the blasted message. It doesn't matter how simple it is, just relay the message. 4. Is there such a thing as too much pop Chinese cuisine? The answer is yes, yes there is such a thing. 5. Every time I think to text you, I immediately remember that I don't care if I ever hear from you. I'd delete your number but I love the surprise of feeling that every time it happens!! 6. Touareg + Gun Powder= Yess!!! 7. Hand crafted items always rank higher in my book than mass produced goods. I suppose it's the old world charm that captures my attention, knowing ...

1. Hiking = my (re)new addiction 2. Its always interesting to be reminded of where you stand in someones life. I once believed that those whom I saw the most would hold me in closer regard than those I only see occasionally. I was wrong (yep!) and its never felt soo good to know the other side. 3. At some point in childhood we begin to remember days as seperate entities, Monday being different from Tuesday etc. I think its special when children don't recall the last day they saw but rather the emotion they remember you by. 4. Longer than (my) average hair is driving me nuts but I refuse to cut it.....yet 5.  Pity parties are worthless, costly, & over rated. Get over, you could be not living and then your worries would be reduced to the care of your soul... 6. I told you'd I'd call when something of merit occured.  7. I'm looking for a more p.c. replacement for odd man out. Any suggestions?? 8. Being told you possess untapped potential and actually tapping said poten...
