Days semi-sans Petanque: Babe



If I had words to make a day for you I'd sing you a morning golden and true I would make this day last for all time Then fill the night deep in moonshine —Farmer Arthur Hoggett

I suppose the life of an anorexic duck doesn't amount to much in the broad scheme of things, but, pig, I'm all I've got! —Ferdinand the duck

I stopped by the park the other day and talked a bit, took some photos, and played one of those pointing petanque games. It was comforting in a very visceral way. I felt better about the world for quite a long time afterward. I write about how I miss it but being there with Maggie and Hollie and Bill an Peter and Rob and Tim and Ted and his daughters, made me appreciate what a very special company we keep and how blessed I am to have had the opportunity to join in on the game. While I had already planned to do the Cheers post, it turned out to be the most appropriate timing. The world sometimes works out that way. When I think of all the wrong turns Ive taken in my life and still managed to find my way here, it must be an Appointment in Samarra thing.
