Missing Baltimore a bit, just now...

Art Crawl!!!

I just googled to find out what that is. (I lived in Baltimore many, many years ago -- I'm sure that Bea Gaddy was there but I had not heard of her.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm tired...pooped. But, I did finish everything I needed to finish this weekend, so I'm going home and I'm gonna sit and do nothing. And like it.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

My mom was 25 when she had me. Seems like a Baby Bear age.

Lots of my friends are pregnant now, which made me think about how normal it seems to me to be having your first child in your thirties. It just doesn't seem old to me.

I did feel old yesterday when I ran into one of my students from my first year teaching high school. He was in my 5th period Spanish 1 class and now he works for the TSA. Crazy. Oh well, at least he recognized me, so I guess I don't look over the hill yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I feel kinda pouty and childish right now. There are people I wanted to see four hours ago, when I had energy and less pain. I told them there was a window, too. But they had other things to do, so I have come home and wound down, and now they're calling and I don't even have the energy to answer.

But even the slice of me that's judging my avoidance admits it's a bloody miracle I was up to seeing anyone at any point today.

I'm just too spent to suck it up, no matter how much I love them. I sucked it up on Thursday. Done now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That sucks ita. I wish your day had worked out better.

Yeah, me too. I feel somewhat better now, both mentally (texted her and I guess we'll try again next time they come through town) and physically (I'm even going to try eating).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

she's 56 now

Eep. I've dated women who were 13 years older than me. Which means they're 58 now.

Huh. I guess I've been with guys the age of both fathers and sons of b.org posters.

Makes me either old, young, or a bit easy.

There are people with sons older than Emmett on the board, right?
