Hate alone is not enough to nourish. But there’s rage too.

phew. lot’s of bright and cheery posts not so lately. a lot has happened since my last. i was bombarded with family for three weekends in a row. first my wiw sister came in and we had a nice visit. took a trip to the statue of liberty and ellis. spent a lot of time but we were both intrigued. then i met my dad in sleepy hollow for a birthday dinner for my uncle dom. he and e had a long involved conversation about religion. not exactly what i would have chosen for an 81st birthday party but they enjoyed sparring (and reveled in the fact that they share birthdays).
then my bro, sis-law, dex, cuz and wiw sis came down for a weekend. walked the bridge with the ladies, got some maggie brown fare. good times there too. never long enough but that’s my fault either for living far away or not having a nice enough place to make it uber desirable to visit. then the elder came with her kids. had a great time there too. made some music. made them walk the brooklyn bridge. all in all a great success. and i only had to give the place a stern cleaning once.
other than that, i’ve been extremely mal-motivated with work and un-work. haven’t made much headway on the imbibing front or the mitigation thereof. probaby contributing to me not getting my stuff in order. been reading a bit more so that’s good. buying and seeing music.
