setting up setting
“The upset of setting up”…or “How Earthlink stole five hours of my week because of my need to stay connected.” I love how we are now responsible for the screw ups of big companies. It is my job to spend a couple hours informing Earthlink that Time Warner does NOT operate Earthlink’s cable program in the state of Washington. Ok, so now that we have THAT sorted out, can you please stop sending me “Welcome to Earthlink” mail. I have been with you for five f–g years. I am starting to look foward to our ending. In the mean time, my two friends here invite me to EVERYTHING and I thank them. I have a beautiful new table thank you Matt…and I will see L and K and little M soon…that is cool. A Big move is a big move. You feel moved. I feel moved. I go from feeling ok, to infuriated with attention to details of setting up, to bored a little (not a usual feeling), to wondering what you do in August when you’ve ‘moved’ a long long way. In NYC or in Ontario I know exactly what I do…I find lakes and build fires. there are lakes here, and the sea, and the world’s biggest octupus apparently. Names anyone? I have melodies. I have really great melodies and I am inbetween having anything to say except, “Hey Matt, what are you and Hillary doing for dinner?” again. So it goes. All in all I am very thankful for a roof, for food, for good friends even if they’re far away, for change, for life while it is mine here and now…for the fact that last night Bruce Cockburn closed his concert here with Circles in the Stream. ‘Dying trees still grow greener when you pray.’ Amen
