C) “You can’t make everyone happy”
This page is gift. I was created for me and presented to me by my best friend as a way for him to know what I was doing, thinking and probably saying about him on the sly. Little did he know. (it’s all about me!)
It was brought to my attention by another wonderful friend that the ‘disclaimer’ I had put here - for just one day - skewed the view or expectation of readers. Kinda like the researcher influencing the experiment simply by being there. I weighed that against what I had written as a warning (nicely if I say so myself) and decided to remove it.
The disclaimer has found a new home – you can read it by clicking on Disclaimer page to the left.
This is part of what it said and I feel belongs here still:
“So, read what you will, respond as you choose. Make up a moniker if you do not want those that read this to know you do too. I have the option to edit and omit replies. I do not except when spam. After all, your opinion is as valid and meaningful as mine is here. I am tempted to apologize in advance for (cut). I will not because I do not want to owe myself an apology later.
With great appreciation and no small amount of wonder,

So, there I was, with an hour to kill and a morbid, if not ridiculous, urge to peruse my past on the web. Lo and behold, there you are. Are you kidding me? Did you have a ‘come-to-Jesus’ moment when my back was turned? To say I am surprised would be akin to saying the Titanic was bumped by an ice-cube. I am stunned. I am also curious. Why? Weren’t you the one who always proclaimed that God was out there somewhere, but not here? Never here, with us, looking over our shoulder and peering into our thoughts. Minding our business when He should have been seeing to the world’s business. And for the love of Mike (or Michelle, whatever), WEDDINGS? Shouldn’t you believe in that venerable institution prior to committing others to it?
Life is ironic, isn’t it? Or else, you’d have to admit, God has a wicked sense of humor.
It occurred to me that I should let you know that Half-Cat passed away on May 4th of this year. She still chased foil balls and string up to the week before. She never shut up, but she did stop jumping on my back about 6 years ago. She lost her hearing last year. Vet said it was old age, but I think the noise level in my house made her decide that silence WAS golden, and preferred. I miss her. She was the last remnant of a former life, that while at times tense and sad, has formed my opinions and defined my person.
What the computer hack you’ve become! A web AND a blog. What surprise (but less so than seeing you as a wedding officiant).
For all my sarcasm (which is tongue in cheek, BTW), I do wish you well in this endeavor.

Ruth,
We all evolve and change, yes?
Glad that our friend Anthony is moving in an affirming direction and not a negative one. Aren’t you??
