Mine is sometimes happy (and that may be defense or rationalization, but it's not idle), and sometimes unhappy (incomprehensible, at cross-purposes, foreign in-country...); is that what Tolstoy means by, "...in their own way?" Beats the shit out of me - sort of leaves the door open, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>Might have been different if I hadn't been separated at 17 for a whole new life, and been away for many years after that. When we got geographically closer, we'd all shifted planets.

How many times have I typed that today? :)<BR/><BR/>It was probably a good thing to be without technology for awhile...I wonder if my head would explode if I would have to go without for awhile? Probably did you good.<BR/><BR/>When you wrote about Tom Delay -- that seems like *ages* ago! My how it's life in the fast lane these days. Just one horrific story waiting to zoom by as another begins. And so on and so on and so on.<BR/><BR/>And *not to be mean* -- but I know this is going to sound mean...<BR/><BR/>Mike Allen of TIME is NOT ready for prime time. I always feel so bad for him when he's on TV. He's so jumpy...I wonder if he's as uncomfortable as he looks? And if he is, why is he putting himself through that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10525820.post-1145959396586946862006-04-25T03:03:00.000-07:002006-04-25T03:03:00.000-07:00O - she's very dear to me, AG; it's just that over...O - she's very dear to me, AG; it's just that over time we've diverged and it's not always clear to me why. I have another sister, and a brother, and when we are all together, it can be like a well-tuned quartet, but in duets - arghhh! <BR/>Really, the great Troubles were always between the grrls - they were in the middle, maybe that was it - but they both chafe under it, even now. My brother and I consider ourselves BLESSED in comparison.grishaxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730729116978062510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10525820.post-1145937609104885472006-04-24T21:00:00.000-07:002006-04-24T21:00:00.000-07:00Yeah, Grisha is back!

Somehow then, I can totally relate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
