How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Sunset Havens

A wonderful parenting day, attending to the little man all morning, then a trip to CostCo full of compliments before a sleepy ride home.  Feeding through a Man City draw to put Arsenal top of the league and then a rest to avoid the crazy idea for a mama drive before the Garretts.  So funny to imagine him growing up on this street, throwing rocks at a window for his sister to let him in.  Then the inspired idea to beach it at Rainbow Haven, as Clam Harbour sandcastles a stretch too far.  Next year.  The sky and the water and the Congo elders a sign it was worth it exactly.  The real white noise machine. 

It’s approaching 11pm now, AA down for an hour, and a real belief he’ll stay that way until 5am or so.  The pleasures of the reveries and getting back to normal.  There is such a miracle in knowing the pattern and it working out.  Formula supplement the key to success.  Soon Jegede and measurements to see he remains on track and so on and so forth.  

The UK Visa came in and now it’s just the passport to go.  No writing yet but the application is getting readied and I feel it coming, as the mind regenerates in its new fashion, with new energies and perspectives.

Imagine the time traveller, and how his photographic evidence would be mocked at the Domus.  Strange.  And as a stranger give it welcome, for we know not, etc.

The GRA delay a slight stress, and there shall be other tests to manage, conflicts and otherwise, but all to the good and merry.  Focus on what is of the utmost importance.  The imminent first visit to the Thames of the family.  

The family.  Imagine that.
