If anything I’m glad I went
And was present to listen to one of the most powerful sermons I think I’ve ever heard. So much so that I was moved enough to introduce myself to the pastor that gripped the gospel gun afterwards. I’ve never done that. Methinks perhaps a blessin’ ain’t a blessin’ until it’s declared. Just had to shake…

Didn’t want to write today
But alas here I am. Therapy. No drugs. No meds. No alcohol. Just taking it straight on the chin. Meeting it head on. I didn’t have a journal entry for Saturday 10 September. I had posted early on Friday 9 September then headed back to Houston from Oklahoma. Turns out Emily and I met for…

Thank goodness for Twitter
And thank God I’m not on it. Surely folks would think I belong in a straight jacket. Too much sleep. Way too much coffee. And much too many – WAY too many “but what if’s” regarding her. I’m driving out to work and just make sales calls. So glad I found my “therapy” in penning…

If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s her.
The silence is deafening. The routines we get accustomed to. The daily “thinking of you” or the “can I call you?” texts, gone. Whether near to me or far No matter, darling, where you areI think of youDay and night. Night and day. Why is it so? That this longing follows wherever I go?

“That lucky old sun……
……..ain’t got nuthin’ to do, but roll ’round Heaven all day.” It’s a single made famous by Frankie Laine in the late ’40’s. I like how Asleep At The Wheel sings it better. Today hopefully she’ll get a good work schedule to have the time to lay out in the sun. And today we had…

Don’t send flowers. Ever.
Funerals notwithstanding, do not send flowers to anyone. Ever. It’s too cliché. It’s too cheesy. However, if you’re a man that finds yourself in an unenviable position then surely you should entertain it. Send flowers only when nothing else is working. Send flowers if you haven’t done anything egregiously bad yet remain in a gray…

Sinatra, i can relate
Something about a Sunday that just ….sigh. Makes me want to get away. Old Blue Eyes had it right. Maybe it’ll be my anthem from now on. Yes I’m singing his lyrics as I type. I don’t sound near as good though. “……In me you see a man aloneHeld by the habit of being on…

Missed Call Friday
Today is “missed call Friday!” You called!!! I’m learning technology at the speed of life. I’m in a very remote area and can’t get to you. But you don’t know how a missed call on my phone brings an indelible smile. And thrilled to have learned to post from a remote area. I might be…

Oklahoma!!
North bound across the Red River into foreign territory. Road trip, but with a purpose. Well timed also. Maybe to ponder the text she sent. Healthy for sure. Leaving here at 4:45 am. Full moon out. Gosh that’s so romantic. This trip (2 days) is business related. Much more fun when it’s a business that’s…

Hope
Awakened unexpectedly by a text. It’s her. 10:17 PM. Not that it’s bad timing but I really need to sleep for a quick trip north. Happy to have heard from her. It’s a sermon. And yes, I listened to every minute of it. Hopeful.
