dear old college buddy, may be a flashback, a memory long buried by alcohol finally bobbing to the surface like… like a mob hit victim off the jersey shore or something. no idea what happened to mike, haven’t heard from him in what, 20 years or something. or almost.

jessica, it is the feeling of the absence of a lion in my back. it is an empty, lion-less feeling. i couldn’t call it pleasant, or a feeling of relief, because i did not have the corresponding feeling of a lion being there before.

and there is a badger in my stomach. if it would be gone, now that would be a relief.

Wait: was that a normal old gutteral-howling veldt-ruling lion, or a mechanical lion? http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/war8.html Did it feel good or bad to have the lion out of your spine? 'Cause I can see that going either way. Me, I could maybe do with invoking a spine-lion once in a while.

When you are lookin up University Avenue, this isn’t a flashback to when you and I and Mike (whatever happened to him?) drank 3 pitchers of beer each while wandering from bar to bar? Nah, I only remember that vaguely as well..

looks like you got enough material there to last you for a couple of months. Good jebus, my therapy just sounds like me, whining. something to be said for sublimation, I think.

Now THAT’s a storm, dude!

my computer died so we’re replacing the parts that need replacing, and it was suggested that i step up and get a better memory while i was at it. a better memory capacity. i’m still in the place where i both realize that the joke has been done to death and think it’s funny anyway.

your memory seems okay, though. no need for an upgrade when you’re conjuring summer in the middle of a snowstorm that you’re going to remember when the sun is driving the rivulets down your lion-less back, in july or august.

Oh, right. Forgot to mention that: we’ve come to our senses and postponed that trip on account of this weekend heavy snows are predicted in that part of Europe (Alps) as well as school-vacation begins that weekend in Holland, parts of Germany and Austria, and, eh, France. And that being a ski area, roads would be snowy and jammed. So we just thought, Beta can wait until early March for her harp. She’ll be busy and distracted the first month anyway.

O, the anxiety.

Be careful hauling that harp all across kingdom come.
