STAND ASIDE, CYNICISM
August 14, 2010

Sometimes words are not enough.  Case in point: I have not been considering any words for this here thing in five months.  I have failed miserably in the endeavor to dig for those words. I mean, if you can't find the motivation to start a search, the words will never be discovered and ejected into the atmosphere.  Instead, they lie dormant - they sigh with contempt, "You haven't even tried."

Distractions abound in my life.  I still write a freelance column for the Valley Citizen (I can find words for that). I work a full time job. I volunteer. Very occasionally, I will pour wine for Alpine Wines on one of their event nights. For the most part we have been anticipating the arrival of a new roommate, who happens to be my 12-year-old niece. She got here in mid-June.
