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~
