Who's Zoomin' Who

[Ger]

Whoa, the Christmas shopping traffic is crazy today! All this traffic zooming around. 'Nuff to make yer head spin. Anyway, it's a bitchin' snowstorm here, I was scared shitless as I slid half way down this huge hill part of the road we live up. I ain't lyin', I thought I was a goner...

Whew, calming now, trying to gain balance. Last night I listened to Binaural for the first time in a while. Lately it's been Sunny Day's The Rising Tide, Radiohead's Kid A, Diana Krall's Love Scenes, my son's music, even Brad's Interiors made me feel a little better.

Actually, I kinda still feel a bit sick right now. Hope I am not coming down with anything, but everyone around me is a little unwell. I still have to go to work though, right through the weekend. It's the thing when you work for the gov't.- obligations & expectations.

What would make me feel better? I don't know...some rest, I think, some peace & tranquility. Something I can hold onto - need a heart, need a heart, need a heart, need a heart, need a heart, need a heart, need a heart, need a heart...................................god, I love the way Pete & Ed did that song. I cry every time I watch it.

I've got 5 hours till I get home. Wish me luck getting back up that snowy hill, pray for rain to wash it all away.

[brokenarrow]

I just read what you wrote!
Please BE CAREFUL DRIVING HOME!..
remember when you're in a slide......go with it and ease out.......don't use your breaks or you'll make it worse!

I wish for lots of rain to wash it all away.....

give me a soul that's tailored true......
give me a heart to hangonto........

I always hear the Ronnie Lane/PT version of this when I think about it......
maybe it's because I played that album to death when I first got it in High School!/images/wink.gif

Today, when I was cleaning my basement, I cranked the turntable......did Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy....then Live at Leeds.....then Reel 4 of The Kids are Alright soundtrack.........
fucking heaven........sang at the top of my lungs......air guitared every chord.......plucked every bass line.............and I danced like an idiot Ger......
it was fantastic!

Hey Ger...hope you made it home safely!!!!

I did a little slip slidin myself today....another 6 inches here today....I can hardly wait for the first day of winter!!!!

What are you doing driving to work in a snowstorm anyway??? ESPECIALLY when you are sick!!!!.....take a day off will you????
You NEED it and you DESERVE it!!!

Wow, thanks for the good wishes......I was pretty freaked about driving home. The main roads were okay though. I am home now, but I had to abandon the truck down at the highway, about a mile & a half from my house. Even in 4-wheel, it's too icy. They never even plowed our road at all today.

So......I packed up my gear, threw on my backpack & started walking. The lights of the stars reflecting on the snow were guiding my way......& I felt fine, almost as if someone were walking right there beside me......I felt warm enough in my Cowichan sweater & Russian PJ hat....

Then about a third of the way, some neighbours came by & picked me up, delivered me safely home. It's all about community & people helping people when they most need it. Well, I also started to feel a bit better as work neared its end. As we cruised down the long driveway, I just couldn't believe how *beautiful* everything looked. I am going out there with my camera first thing in the morning. Hey, if I could stay home I would, my loves. $$ call my name though.

How is everyone feeling tonight? I'm in a rosy glow from the fire now (had to chop up the damn wood first), & listening to Long Road, hollering my head off.......;)

I gots ta get to know all these toys!

Love,
Ger

You know? You have such a way with words. I could see your walk home in the snow, the starlight, the safety factor of feeling like you weren't alone. You most likely were not alone, who could let anything happen to you?/images/smile.gif

Isn't it wonderful when you feel the safety of the people who live around you? They sound like good people....I know I'd give you a lift...of course I'd make you pay me $5 bucks first...but then I'd deposit you safely in front of your door!/images/wink.gif/images/wink.gif/images/wink.gif/images/wink.gif I'd even have a pair of taxi-cab driver gloves on...you know the kind...with the fingers cut off!

KIDDING.......I'M ONLY KIDDING.........I wouldn't REALLY have those taxi-cab driver gloves on!
******~~~~smooooooch~~~~~~**

$$$$, that and guilt make me go to work! I hate taking off of work if I know everyone else is busting their asses.....even when I'm sick. It's a fault of mine I guess!

You cozy up to the fire and drift off after having some supper....you need to rest dearie!

[Ger]

My way with words...it just tumbles out...I have no control...perhaps sometimes I should. You make me feel soooo good. I am feeling as cozy as I can. Right now I'm listening to Let Me Sleep (It's Christmastime) & feeling more cozy than ever.

"Oh, when I was a kid, how magic it seemed........."

Trying to recapture the magic is...a challenge.

Soon to be driftin'.....

Love,
Ger
