JINGLED DAY

The boys put up the LED icicles today.

One turns out to be one of the flashy ones, at least three programs as I could count them.

So much for my arch assessment of the carnival glow of the house down the street, although our glow in three flashes and cascades of light are more tasteful.

I think. We are waiting for dark to see how they look. There is always the plug to pull.

Also today my favorite card holder in the shape of a abstract nordic deer that looks more like a swan.

We got our first card yesterday. They beat us.

No other holiday developments although I see John getting more stuff out of the storage.

I have had some hassle as I used the wrong checkbook to pay out some big money. The big money should have been written on a different account.

A quick run to the bank quickly took care of that problem and they did not bounce the check. Fortunately the one that came up short was a check from me to me at the other account. I could explain this but the fact is there is no explanation than, as John reminds me, we are getting OLD.

Shit.

But most days are good and a little more self monitoring is called for. Slowing down. Easy does it.

It has been busy for two weeks and I am tired. One more interview tomorrow and then I expect a longish break between events.

It didn't help that I got "the people's" cold. Everyone we know has had, is having or, it seems, will have it.

This is what happens when you hang out with a crowd that hugs and kisses more than is healthy for them.

But that is a small downside, one cold a year, for the hugs and kisses.

Is it news that gay people tend to kiss and hug a lot? Men and women.

My belief is that we generally lacked enough of the right kind of physical contact through our adolescence and are still catching up. Or, having caught up, we like to hug and kiss and do it as much as possible.

I kiss men in the gym and in the supermarket and don't think much about it anymore. I can sense when the other won't be comfortable and pull back a bit but that is not very common.

Of course, I can kiss lesbians as often and wherever I want and no one will wink an eye. Strange world, eh. All that shit on the surface. It is like La Bachman said yesterday. Gay people can marry as long as it is with the opposite sex. Well, of course! That is exactly what she has done with Marcus!
