Moments of Perfection

 As the sun is deciding whether or not to rise, the fog clings to the ground in the pasture across my street as a reminder that Halloween approaches.

The aroma of coffee permeates the air as my fingers soak up the warmth of the first cup.

That first taste is bliss and as I sigh in contentment, the dog lays his head gently in my lap and gazes at me with adoring brown eyes.

This moment in time is perfect.

Occasionally, you cross paths with someone in life whom you have respect, but as time goes on, you become friends. Such is the case with me and Yabu.  Our initial meeting was at a blog meet in Helen about 7 years ago. He actually had two blogs that I liked and bookmarked. One of those blogs, however, was written by a ghost writer, unbeknownst to me at the time. At that initial meeting, he had a twinkle in his eye, and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Sam. AKA Yabu." He was a small guy; that surprised me. Like many small people though, he was larger than life. For my part, I was extremely grateful that he didn't perpetuate the misconception that the ghost writer stories were real. They had a very real feel to them, all the more testament to the actual author. For his part, he expressed admiration that I was in the process of getting my teeth fixed. As I got to know him, I learned that this particular subject was extremely important to him. I often heard him express frust...

Anyhoo..social media is fun, but really too inhibiting.  Sometimes you need more than 150 characters to make a point. My Members of the Week series is definitely going to be over here because I need more characters to really do them justice. Plus I missed writing. Something about putting these words out there soothes something in me.   Anyway, that's enough for now.  Stay tuned and holler at me if I haven't updated in a while.

Ponderings

 I enjoy playing video games a little bit.  I'm not a die-hard, but there are a few of the ones that are story-rich, single-player, role-playing fantasy games that I like. I like the people simulator one, too. Any of us that play that one often wonder if we aren't a video game for some omnipotent seeming being that pauses us and deletes stuff and *that* is why we go into rooms and forget why we were there. I started a legacy family today and I set the lifespan setting to long because a legacy challenge is when you play through 10 generations. The next generations will be set on a normal, or short lifespan. The first one starts with pretty much nothing. The rest of the family tree is started with this origin person. That got me thinking about how the lifespans were so long at the beginning of the bible those folks lived 150-plus years. Now we live roughly half of that. Could you imagine if 75 was middle-aged? I haven't decided if that is a good thing or a bad thing, or just ...
