The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Amazing April


Well, though I'm still not over my fit of paroxysm about the gayest look issue, I'm going to post cause it's the first of April and the calendar has new stuff to show off. And there are a number of people who read this blog who are on my email list who I either barely know, don't know at all, other than through this blog, or don't know at all, who obviously weren't those whom I was chastising. It's the 10-or 12 people I sent that email to who have known me many years who didn't even acknowledge it, nor even pretend they would do it, well that's not true, Oldflame pretended that he intended to do it, but I know him too well. Hell he can't acknowledge that he has feelings, let alone that he is gay, so how could I realistically expect a public declaration of his feelings about Jay Leno or anyone else making fun of us.

But enough of that.

Above is April, and though the picture doesn't show it too well, it's the funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut which is cut into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahri in Thebes.

Next month...I'm tellin' you, is so fucking cool. I'm going to start taking pictures of it soon so I can get the best one for you. I fucking love this calendar.

I decided today that:

1. )I'll never go to Nebraska Furniture Mart again as long as I live. All I intended to do last Thursday was kill an hour before teaching my class. That was all I swear it. I came home, however, with a new living room..and of course a credit card to the damn Nebraska Furniture Mart. Nothing good can come of that. They delivered the stuff this morning.

2.) I am going to give myself a really cool birthday present. I'm going to ride in the Cottonwood 200. It's a 200 (duh) mile bike ride over three days through western and central Kansas. I better start training soon. I have a 62 mile ride on the 29th of this month so training for that will help, but 200 is a lotta miles. And when you belong to AARP, you gotta get a head start. It starts May 24 and ends on my birfday the 26th. I'll be taking a personal day on the 27th to rest the weary bones. Or! perhaps I should hire that deliveryman from this morning to drive me there and back! Now there's a thought!

3.) I'm going to do my best to stop obsessing about the teaching job I can't seem to find. I'm just going to keep plugging away at it and getting more and more credentials to bolster that degree and one day it'll pay off.

I think those are enough resolutions for one April fool.

Love
