The last time I saw a reference to George Michaels in the media (before Dec. 25th) was in a movie last month, and (they didn't play anything by him.) the guy's girlfriend didn't like him.
I have a big bed; but it's so full of books and musical instruments... 3 ukuleles, some harmonicas, a saxaphone, an attempt at homemade musical bones, music books, a few Bibles and a Greek interlinear, the Upanishads, Mahabharata, the Poetic Eddas, the Illiad, the Odessy, some college text books, a disgarded library book about Uranus (Did you know Uranus is aquamarine, and the soft blue color we see is from the presence of methane?), The Life of Pi, a pair of dice (for intention experiments), a deck of cards (for practicing 3 card Monty), and a bottle of homade apple, cinnamon, ghost pepper mead: it's like sleeping with a bed hog.
I live on an island with people from all over the world. Too understand one another they developed Pidgin English. Pidgin English isn't just used on my island. They speak Pidgin English all over the world, but Hawaiian Pidgin is probably one of the richest dialects, being mixed with Hawaiian, Portuguese, Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, and English which is also Pidgin language being mixed with Basque, German, Norweigen, French, etc. It helps when you speak to somebody, to speak a language they understand... and learning Pidgin English opens your eyes to other cultures. I'm glad I can speak English... If I want to talk to people who don't, that's on me.
There's no way I even want to think about my worst feeling. When I had my first stroke, the right side of my body felt exactly like the mask posted on page 1. When I had my second stroke, I fell down and and couldn't get up. I called my doctor babbling. She told me I sounded like I had a demon, and hung up on me. I don't know how long I was down; but when I got to the hospital, I had a ding on my ankle that was scabbed.
