GIVE

Furniture of the Disappeared...

Here's a bed=frame & a double bureau

and a cedar hope=chest, a blond bar &

book=case---moving as they did from

2035 and 229 to their honoured Places in

the Hovel which Hane & Mack left behind

for me to resolve and dissolve. The good

people of Good Shepherd gathered up

Them^ to their next Adventures in Thrift

Shop land...i pray their perfect service to

persons i have not met but who are probly

very much like me---scraping together a

Fair life in a harsh werld as Events un=fold.

BLESSINGS on mere objex which console

by having only Drawers & Shelves & hidden

memories! They also live by travelling well

from haus to haus with Usefulness. Truly.

As for the Books which have a had a much

longer life of Adventure, passing from old

hands to young hands, from boxes made of

wood to boxes made of card=board...My

antiquarian told me i could continue carting

them to the 'lending library' undre the bridge

OR let the Auctionists offer them for Pennies

on the Pound. {Amembre this when you are

your=self confronted with this Effort: FIND

and GATHER all the cruddy tomes together so

the book=man can see them all=ta=once!}

Early on, he made the prescient & precious

statement: "The books are Usually the Last

to go." mirabile dictu per diem! Twas ever

Thus. The mattresses go first. ~slac~

FROG

The riddle answered...

What does an expired amphibian read

@ the Top of its to=do list? *CROAK*

*

Anothre favourite Question...

«Do you werk here?» Altho it contains

only four (4) evenly emphasised werds,

i usually reply,"esso uomo." That is,

«i am the man.» It satisfies most people

when i say this...acause they are not

overly concerned whethre Essence

proceeds from Existenz OR vice versa.

What troubles my filosofy is when my

customers refer 2 me in the plural with

an up=follow query. Such as: «Are you guys

gonna be here Monday?» What is the

proper response? "esso d'uno uomo."?

OR, the more naturalistic,"If Monday comes,

We will be here." (you & me, all of us...?)

Hegel, Heidegger & Heisenberg! The

Monday is it=self already come! *QED*

^^^the Proof is Flawed^^^ ~fslac~

04/24/06: Satisfaction Piece?! What the

devil is that? Never Mind~it only means

that Uncle Jake is looking after me. [he

was a banker afore i was a banker.]

So i'm riding the W in=bound with two

girls in the back talking on cells. Then,

the driver pickt up her cell & schtarted

a conversation! What is it about these

portable fones & buses??! They must get

the fantastic reception 2 be so useful on

people=movers. {OR, maybe i'm just old

school...when i ride with others i try to

sit quietly & let them drive.} *Media!*

NB: i didn't forget earthday; i live it.

CLOD

Essential Gleanings:

Suggestion: clean up the hovel, and you won't

need a garage to sleep in.

*

Tell Hane and the girls that I appreciated

the watch=over.

*

Have a wonder=filled holiday, a long drawn

breath of spring air,

and Enjoy the unexpected delights - which are

sure to visit.

writing many notes to RM, very alert

RM goes to Mass, MOM watches mass.

1150: Doc G cheks MOM

...MOM remains Intubated, but very

uncomfortable; she is slightly frustrated

with writing & "signing" but her mental

alertness is exceptional. Some pain.

1400: Bim spells us as RM and i go to

1410/1420~buy gas & hoagies

Toni & Todd arrive and visit for a

little while--a very good visit.

Doctor B [group] checks on

April 20, 2006: And that^ seems like it happened

about a million years ago. By my reckoning.

I kid people that Hane now has the best hausing;

she has a two-room flat at the bone=yard which

the Bishop has to mow. As her secondary and the

glorified haus=boi, i find consolation that she is

enjoying the humour of it. {secret: i knew @ each

turn that i was Appointed to such matters...from

Trust to Estate, i am not heavily laden.} Now, if

only i could find as good a deal as i move Resolute

out=through the crasy Werld! Schtep upon schtep.

Sepulchre Saterday, 2006...Belated Condolences: Reverend Coffin was a classmate of my progenitor at preparatory school. Fighting for Peace takes the radicals early. Their peace is Perfect now. Yes, i saw the Pointer Sisters at the peak of their fame and popularity...i am truly sad their beautiful Voices have been diminished by one fourth. J musta needed a choir leader for His on=going Easter services...These^ children provide Miraculous countre-point on the Werld as it is!  As for the other un=named victims of Tornadoes or War or othre more gentle Takings: They are appointed to a general Purpose we cannot yet Apprehend. But, the G of our G wanted them joined in that Grander plan; they are serving the mysterious unfolding of all good things. AND that is just as it should be. RESURRECTION SOON! Monday, April 17, 2006...What a gorgeous Day to do either yard=werk OR taxes. Unless one is preoccupied with more Astounding matters! Yesterday~i had the most excellent dinner @ Cat's manour with the cats & the kids & Rocky's boy=friend & the most entertaining mutual friend of the Fambly, Jane. Blade helped with the fruit salad and probly the green salad; Cat cooked the wonderful Ham with green beans, potatoes au gratin, crescent rolls AND cheesy=meaty=ziti. [the Ziti is their recent addition to the tradition...and i liked it.] For afters, we Seven (7) partook of Jane's WALNUT brownies with ALMOND vanilla ice creme & chocolate syrup warshed down with actual decaf coffee. It's a good thing the Lord had already risen acause it was a fine indulgence all=to! And One (1) of the Best dinner parties i have most recently attended. {i go where i am invited and contribute most Fully...}  The left=coasters also had a schmall but Perfect Paschal repast from what i heard. The COLONEL and his BRIDE fed GROPER, CHELLY & JAY=JAY many middle-eastern delicacies centred around the flesh of Lamb. Which is in many ways, the more enduring tradition of celebrating the Rising of Our Good Shepherd---to eat fine food as He enjoyed it from the Stable to the Tomb in memory of that most gentle life & its certain Victory! Communion!Eucharist! Coming down to us from the manna which G provided for MOSES and his company...Blessings on You who celebrated the Day & Season: this werk of peace has just begun. Glory. ~pslac~

ROUT

April 11, 2006...Thomas Jefferson once opined,

and i para=frase,"It's a poorly intellectual Man who

reads a Newspapre everyday." Agreement!

So it was when i had finisht my Cleanliness and

the Engineer called after me,"It's the papre...they

want to send you two (2) extra Days at the same

Price you already purchase." Never mind that my

wonderful brother hardly wanted to answer the

land=line of the Hovel in the first place! I told him

to refuse the offre right=out---Saturday & Sunday

are too much already for this Executif. Plus+, We

are presently moving too fast for journalists to

catch Our traces. Anothre papre we don't require.

Altho~most of what they Publisht yesterday, i am

probly 4square against^ or better off not knowing.

CAT werks in a chinese puxxle of a rat=maze which

i visited after Lunch with Patutca & ourselves. I was

more than glad to meet & re=meet all of these

bright people; but i wish only i had worn one Pair of

some of my new shoes. It impresses the occasional

feminine persons to arrife on=site with Leathre

schteel-tips instead of those worn out suede Hikers

which i chose 4 adornment on this off=day...Well,

at least my hair was Warshed & my tunic Buttoned.

A good shave would probly endear me to my very

own Customers on the morro; that could Happen.

{i travel fast & fervently with Companions and come

to nearly Nothing; it's my VITALISM.} *BOOTS*

Wednesday, April 12, 2006...anothre busy day in the

Parish Yard. After such a mild winter, i'm not surprised

that my regulars have beaucoups de yard waste. They

are all wishing me a happy schpring and wondering

if i'll be Open on Sepulchre Saterday. [i will.] OH! And

i enjoy signing up the Newbies & filling them in on the

finer Points of parish recycling. It's nice to be nice...

Antiquarians! Auctioneers! Rubbishers! He jumps on

his horse [or bus] and rides wildly off in all direxions!

With kindnesses 2 small animals & children yet.

April 06, 2006...the Green=Ghost may

be gone but her Schpirit has transferred

into the Engineer's black beauty. ZOOM.

Between the transfer=station & the

uffizo de Posti, Bim handed me his fone

cell & a complicated WIRE and said,"Here!

See if you can figger this out!" It took me

all of Twenty (20) seconds to plug his

explicable Device into the available Current

for re=charging. {i do not Own a fone=cell,

but i do know how these fleegle Monsters

werk} Then, we tried on Shoes...

It is Much the Same with me and Dogs.

Annoyed by: small moths

Sunday, April 9th, 2006...It was entirely

too dismal a day yester=day to werk out

of doors; yet i made the best effort in my

new sneakers. [which are NOT anti=wet]

Later, Bim & Cat ferried me to the hovel

AND liberated my way=ward wallet from the

bus dispatcher. {This^ was not Obliquely

intended; it was a sight=over. I would ne'er

consciously lose Maizy's present of And5}

Recovered of that, WE walkt 2 the RITZ for

afters & decaf; it is the least of dessert i

can offer to those who ne'er desert me!

To=Day, i missed exactly two (2) lettres in

the Puxxle, called after & Visited three (3)

available PROPERTIES, mowed the 'grass',

schwept the EMPTY garage And vacuumed

the SOLEMN second floor. As well as othre

shark=like mannerisms. Epochally Thus!

Biblical Obsveratum: afore J entered the

Holy City on a burro, He broke the departing

seder sun=down by proclaiming: "JERUSALEM!

How long i have wisht to gather You to me as

a mother-bird protects her Nestlings!" It was

His own city to speak of...with or without Palm

fronds and lingering Hosannas. Mirabile

Apparently, the gators did win

that tournament. The Engineer

took it as a sign WE should all move

to RM's beach=cottage. But he is

renowned 4 saying unusual things

out=the=loud. Such a helper!

Taxes?! i am nearly done with them
