northern lights

hello to all of you who follow this worthless diatribe. i am away, again, looking forward to the usual welcoming committee when i get home. if it rains enough, and in oregon i think i can almost count on it most years, the dogshit will be erased from the porch with no effort on my part save stepping around it on my way to the laundry room. saw monster last night. a little dark, even for me. i was speechless, stunned. surprised by the twitters and laughter early in the movie from those who witnessed the transformation of the beauty into beast. it was complete. jesus. harsh. out to sauvie's island to check on the fishermen, the diehards, men who would fit the categories in earlier entries. reel men. okay, enough for now. nicole is reading over my shoulder.
