I am remembering (correctly I hope) some similar loss in your own connection and I appreciate your sage words here -- we do "what we do best" in response.

But I think that's rare. I saw the fox kits approach the adult geese who were larger and they were just kind of sniffing each other and so forth. but i digress. thanks for the kind words, and as for waterfowlz, Up The Swans! --baDAN / DANIEL GUTSTEINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440571794661801261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371137905089559599.post-90004372135170708802024-01-02T07:57:08.267-08:002024-01-02T07:57:08.267-08:00Downright infectious, that is, all that rolling do...Downright infectious, that is, all that rolling down hillsides in "Happy Holidays" ... Exhilarating exchange of words & music. The phone booth w/ its fractured handset must be an emblem of the culture. <br /><br />The geese really got me. The fourth adult waddling in during the last few seconds - consolation for a wretched heart. My old dad says never count the goslings, but it's the adult geese, who mate for life (like the barn owl, puffin, swan, condor, albatross, crane & macaw), that bring on the vapors.hthrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653557767832908780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371137905089559599.post-44369532600700571432024-01-01T07:40:52.602-08:002024-01-01T07:40:52.602-08:00well, i don't know about genius, but i appreci...well, i don't know about genius, but i appreciate your kind words. i am however quite jealous about the speedway stout. i haven't had that in years! did it have the vietnamese coffee in it? ffs. casey smith forever! up the swans! yanks out! btw SWA 0 WBA 0 41'. baDAN / DANIEL GUTSTEINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440571794661801261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371137905089559599.post-70148257323073253362024-01-01T07:36:16.039-08:002024-01-01T07:36:16.039-08:00yer a genius. i'm lucky to know ya.

As the great poets - and I realize here that greatness is relative to each reader - remind us with every rereading, the generativity of creativity, when so much else fails - the body, valiance, diplomacy, etc. - is a documentary act. Werner Herzog in his recent memoir contemplates what life in other universes will find when they visit post-extinction Earth. I don't really care, but there is something very beguiling about an excavation of Tny Fllr. <br />hthrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653557767832908780noreply@blogger.com
