I just looked up and it’s 1:30 AM… That means it’s my birthday!… It also means I’m no longer 57 years old. The funny thing is I just made the connection with the “Heinz 57″… Whatever that means. I went a whole year… I might even add as a prime number… without making that connection .
Here’s to finding special significance in 58… It’s as old as I’ve ever been… And so far it feels fine!
Tehan is on her way here to see me… Which makes me happy no matter how late it is
About 1 AM. I I am winding down after a long day. One of the interesting things that happened to me today is that I got a new computer for my work. That’s good news… But that’s the good news is that the transfer process is taking hours… Maybe 5 hours or something like that. It might be the lousy connection I have year at the hotel… It also may be because I’m such a packrat and have saved every file I’ve ever written.
The baby good news is that the process of transferring all my information is blocking both of my computers and keeping me from doing about the work that I have brought home to work on.… I think that’s good news 🙂
I was in the air last night fro the super bowl.. Ok.. i’m not a football fan.. but it do like those commercials.. And I have a guilty pleasure attitude towards lady gaga.. .. and I wanted her to say something political.. did she ?!?!
All that said, I was deeply happy when I heard that the Patriot won last night . Not because of my new england roots. .but because of something that happened in 1967 when My mom was bedridden during her difficult pregnancy with my beautiful sister SPG ! .. Mom was forced to lay in bed for the last 3 months of her pregnancy .. THat meant she could not chase after me and my brother ages 8 and 7. At the time my dad was workig for the football club the Houston Oilers.. One of their Linbackers, John Meyers, either liked us alot.. or h needed some extra money so he became our ‘Nanny’.. John was huge.. well over 220 pounds and 6 feet tall.. he had cool black rimmed glasses.. and was so nice.. He drove us around, fed us.. and di that sort of thing until my sister was born in april 1967.. Form that time on he was ‘nanny’ to us. Eventually Nanny moved away o play linebacker for the NE Patriots.. from that he went on to play for buffalo and eventually the patriots.. and then the packers…
On my way to Munich again.. reading a great book by one of my favoorite authors, Michal Carbon.. the book is called Moonglow.. and i’m finding that I like it more, the deeper I get in it. It was a bit of slow start for me.. especailly as I tend to read about 2 pages before falling asleep..
I wont give any spoilers here.. but it’s a story that evolves from fiction to fact without ever acknowledging it’s doing so.. In doing that.. it has triggered many memories I have of grwoign up in the space craze of the 60’s and 70’s .. it mixes in quite a bit of the zany neuroses of grwoign up with liberal jewish parnts.. and a little bit of magical realism.. I think.. or maybe just elements of a charmed life.
Their aren’t many characters. but I still get them confused.. they have complicated histories.. they are good people doing not always good things… trying to get by.
I only have a few more pages till its over.. and dont want it to end..
