Randie has a vivid imagination… and she can see, quite clearly, a future event, should they move to Portland.

Tripping through married life…
Randie has a vivid imagination… and she can see, quite clearly, a future event, should they move to Portland.
Thinking about it makes it much more sad. It’s always tough to move away from friends. Even just in your head.
Indeed, Trev… I tend to imaginate… until I work myself up to a good ol’ case of the blues.
You ever notice the blues and the blahs are very closely related?
Blahs… blues… sense of yuck-ness…not at all pretty.
Sadness…
agreed. It made me sad drawing this page.
Just walked Cypress Drive yesterday evening with my wife. Blue placid water reflected a pallet of pastel hues from a setting sun, fog slowly drifting in from the south, a few horse-tail clouds over head. Lots of sea otters, some moms-n-pups; rows of pelicans flying in parallel lines low over the low swells.
I think when life moves us away from a special area, we just have to store as much color-light-sound-friends as we can in our hearts, to unpack later; kind of like ‘storing up sunshine for future rainy days.’
What a nicely told scene. It brought ME back. I can feel the marine layer off the coast and the smell of the kelp floating in the light surf. Sigh.
Yes… agreed… we have to store it up. For me… it’s the fog and “natural air conditioner” during our heat wave up here, in Portland.

RN… were YOU watching “Shakespeare in Love” last night, too???!
Never seen it. There’s this old play, where these families don’t like each other—except for two of them.
Change is needed. It’s rarely painless, but it’s frequently rewarding. If you don’t change, you can’t help other things change. Change is growth.
Yes, I agree. I keep this near my desk: “Change is what keeps us fresh and innovative. Change is what keeps us from getting stale. Change is what keeps us young.” -Rich Pitino
Change is what I keep in my pocket.
