Slowing Down for the Curve

.
A confession: I feel and look like death takes a holiday. When I feel this 'good', I just don't feel like blogging, computering in general, e-mailing or phone chatting. Not that there isn't plenty going on in the canyon but I don't have the heart to keep up with it right now. The move possibility is still pending and depending on pretty much everyone else but me. I will bring you up to date as soon as I have any truly tangible news. And maybe I am just a little blue that I will be losing an old friend. He's always been a fighter but sometimes the odds are just too overwhelming for even the toughest of them. Another chunk of my heart will go with him unless miracles avail themselves in very short order.

Sooo ... what I am going to do is post the odd photo or two here every four or five days in the interim, just something to let you know that we are still out here. Don't feel obliged to leave a comment since I will likely not feel up to answering them or be around very often to blog visit for the next little while .

Here is a very strange petroglyph which we discovered while out exploring with Red last Fall. Being sheltered beneath a huge overhang of rock, it has survived the ages quite well. Oddly enough, we found it after failing to find the remote Spanish inscriptions which Virgil had shown us earlier that year. Quite the consolation prize.

Here is a better detail of that find. You can see that someone added 'the barbell holder' at a later date.

I will try to be back by Friday with a most curious inscription from that same locale.

I know you said no comment required, Lin, and given you moderate, this one may not see the light of day for quite some time, if ever.

But. Just wanna let you know that I SO relate to the bits I quoted. I hope you feel better, soon.

If I've missed who you are referring to, I apologize, but whoever it is I thoughts go out to them and you.

I too am beginning to feel a slow down coming on...but I'll be at the end of an email if ever you need to talk.

That's some trippy shit fer sire. I was thinking, gymnastics?

You take care sis. We're always out here. Not goin' anywhere.

Lin said...

Thank you, my very good friends, thank you so very much.

Mark got the same bug yesterday that I had added to my existing miseries - talk about a joyous day at the Rat for all yesterday. sigh

Lie down in the dark and I prescribe some alcohol once you are both over the bug.

We will all still be here when you are feeling better - hope that it comes real soon.

Guess those 'glyphs are the early-version of "restroom-wall" art!

Well, it LOOKS like a good, tranquil spot to ME, anyway...!

Lin, Oh I am so concerned about you and Mark. I have been trying to get here as often as possible the last few weeks to read anything you have to share, but our life has turned into utter chaos with our move just a month away.

I wish I knew what to say or do. I know you have really been rocked hard by the possibility that you might have to move, and if it helps to know this, I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers every day.

I know when you are able to post again, you will, but till then, I sure miss you an awful awful awful lot.

Hugs.
Sharon
