i. everyone involved must be somewhere on the spectrum of getting loose to full blown drunk.
ii. no negative nancys, "that looks great" is the only acceptable declarative statement.
iii. ears and or necks are going to get cut. it is inevitable. no crying.
iv. cigarette breaks offer perspective.
v. "we'll fix it tomorrow" fixes all.

we're going to a party. it's a birthday party. it's your birthday party.

To the man who serves his country and family,
Balances temperance with humour,
And kindness with strength of character.

To the man that could fix anything, survive anywhere, talk openly about any issue, and would always, always, pack a snack for us.

You taught me about nature, music, art and philosophy. You taught me how to fall without hurting myself, instead of teaching me to not fall. And you encouraged a spirit of adventure that's been a source of joy throughout my life.

the thing about geese is..

2010-09-30T07:46:00.000-07:00

they can only remember you for a year and one day. this is to say that inevitably, no matter how cosmopolitan their upbringing, all geese return to the wild and they forget the family they grew up with; it is a sad truth that colours one's experience with them. ...but they do remember you for a year and a day - there is the one day a year when they come home, just the one time. Usually it is very early in the morning while you are still deep asleep. You are awaked by a familiar sound, the sound of honking, and so you rush out into the yard with the rest of your family, all of your bleary-eyed. You check the pond and the lawn and find no sign of your old friends. And then you look onto the roof - up to the roof's crest. There are your old friends, standing on the summit, plump as Thanksgiving turkeys, blaring the happy trumpets that lay rejoicing insider their hearts - letting you know for just this one time, as you stand there waving to them, that their love for you is greater than those forcers in the universe that would split any of us apart - that would erase that best part of us - our memories of what once was.

"aint you old enough to have learnt that yet for yourself? don't everything you do, everything you have ever done, work itself out right or wrong before your eye and usually before the sun has set? have you ever got by with anything? no you aint nor ever thought you would," he said. "you might as well drink all that liquor since you've already drunk so much. once you pass the moderation mark you've passed it, and that gyration you feel working down from the top of your brain, " he said, "that's the hand of God laying a blessing on you. He has given you release. that old man was the stone before your door and the Lord has rolled it away. he ain't rolled it quite far enough yet, of course. you got to finish up yourself but He's done the main part. praise Him."

When you are young, you always expect that the world is going to end. And then you get older and the world still chugs along and you are forced to re-evaluate your stance on the apocalypse as well as your own relationship to time and death. You realize that the world will indeed continue, with or without you, and the pictures you see in your head. So you try to understand the pictures instead.
