Yesterdé was flag day, but i was busy, busy at the Yard

uberfilling the bins with storm damage and what=not. AND,

making stern Correxions to the infrequent 'Independent

Thinkers' who clog the lines with a sense of entitlement.

Saturday, June 18, 2005....[what! anothre reposit?]

A cautionary note for recent grads~It's a dangerous werld out there,

even though you think your Education is over. Regard the fambly

Holloway and their pain---ponder the lives cut short by over-exuberant

Partying. Cry out against random criminalities. We adults may have

frogged up this place, but it's your WERLD now! Be careful. Much.

Happy Fathers' Day! I've got enuf cards and scarves & funny Boxers

myself...I wish i knew who keeps sending them. Anyway~Dad may look

like a protoplasmic ATM to you, but he has feelings too. Plus+, he has to

live with Mom. Smooch the grizzled old geezer when he least expects it.

{the things which were true and actual in the past, continually recur}

Friday, June 18th, 2o1o...Welcome to the Hotel symbiosis. It's a lovely

Place & i'm the manager of the second floor. As MIAMI guards the gate,

i schtand firmly with utility & humility at the top of the Schtairs...it is

the best werk i've ever done. But enuf about me. There are dozens of

Persons i am exquisitely connected to and through. True dat.

Sunday, June 20th, 2o1o...acause i am the Father of my own miseries,

i'm gonna recount some of the past which has escaped previous

entries {Quoi?} Last SunDay, i brot sauerkraut to the MORAVIAN

cherch picnic; how would Blair's flock eat hot dogs without it? [it is my

second such outing--i fear i will become known as the kraut man.]

Monday was multiply blesst: the new Roomy, INDIANA, ferried me

to werk in his borroed car; my one Italian elderman customer gave me

a Toaster=Oven. [Toasters in the bunkhaus have been routinely

destroyed by MIAMI; i'm gonna wait a bit to bring this gift 'home']

Also, some=how, the concierge put out the garbage and nothing was lost!

The walk home was three and a half (3½) times as long as a bicycle

ride, which makes one Appreciate the invention of the wheel. {Does

a bike have one wheel in front of the other OR one wheel behind the

other?} Tuesday morning, after the antecommunion, SCOTT was kind

enuf to let me change my rear tube Yet again; he patcht the tiny

puncture that i had incurred last week. Ergo~i have a functional bike

and three (3) tubes. The lunch at Saint Paul's was adequate, and who

can fault free=food? The bread was 'ebony & ivory' yet it molds too

fast. {i took the lunches this week on account of the shortness of my

Memorial dé earnings} For these and othre sins, i was Commisioned

to warsh the schtanding showre...Five (5) men can go thru a lot of

showres in a Summer & the Soapiness doesn't clean itself.

There are many gifts which Presently come my wé Unbidded: CARL,

the customer who has Advanced lung cancer, brang me a tiny flashing

light which can be attached almost any=where SO that people can see

that One is walking or riding on the mean streets. {it pondres me much

with all this gear whethre i am riding the bicycle Or that the bicycle is

riding me} Customer/friend DON came by in the afternoon to show me

pixtures of the last Aer=Show he attended. It is part of my employ

after ten (10) seasons to entertain the lives & loves of my clients! They

are bettre to me than i am for my=self, goes a lyric i scarce Amembre.

Thor'sDé, STONY did not haf Time to do the morning office acause

he had to take his new car to D-Town. It was a schmall pity considering

that a new Person had come to Pray with our mere two. WE clapst

hands and did the Great supplication togethre. For the rest of it, i went

late to the EPISCOPALIANS, with Ellie in the chapel. Only the second

Time. Hey! it's right off my living room that's fillt with squirls. Mop!

It was the bike all Friday to the Food Pantry, and WE had just the

perfect numbre of People to do the werk. The efficiency of the restock

is nearly constantly Improving; i am glad to be partnered with it.

DELROY had a good time chuckling at my Pianoism as well...i go where

the instruments are. [it may be said,«Slac goes to cherches becos there

is music there AND he can sing & play.» i won't argue agin it.] Plink!

That night, in solitude, i finally warsht my dark, dark Laundry.

Of Yester i will say it wasn't as Crasy as it has been, 'tho WE filled the

entire six (6) roll=offs to Topping. Customer DALE came at one thirty

and askt me,«Where's the guy in charge?» It was the best ride up AND

the best ride back, alltogethre, undre summer skies, warm & sunny.

Aday was just as good, of a consideraxn. That^ wheeling~slac~
