Well we are still making it through this wet and cool wintertime. Sunny day today, I'm baking some bread for my ill neighbor across the street, she really appreciates it and I can experiment on the loaves with various textures, seeds and grains. I know she's home when the Oxygen resupply truck comes in and the whistling noise it makes when it refills the bottles of the life-giving gas. She seems happy enough these days and has a daughter now living with her which must make things somewhat easier for her. Oat bread for her today.
Mike is still painting and cleaning the Swamphouse, getting in ready for either himself (his own reward)or some future renter. He has done wonderful work and even the pool is starting to sparkle. I sure hope he can wiggle his way out of his own house calamity (he IS going through a divorce after all!) and rent the bloody place.
The Chris's Club scene is getting better and better, lots of musicians are showing up and signing in on Monday nights, very cool. We love the place.
I told one of my old friends yesterday that I was an Atheist as he was deep into proselytizing and I had finally just had it. I'm comfortable with my Atheism, it fits like a good suit. His version of Christianity fits him I think not very well as it has some role in the absence of all of his children from his life. He said he pitied me my choice but actually I pity him and wouldn't say it as it would only serve to upset him more. I love him, he's a brother to me, but his religiousity was just too much. He's angry with me now and will probably remain silent (no emails) for some time. Maybe the ice will break.
