Out of Reach

These mist colored mountains

are a home now to me

but my home´s in the lowlands

and always will be

some day you´ll return to

your valleys and your farms

and you'll no longer burn

to be brothers in arms

-Dire Straits

I am alive and well. Still running around today putting in all my hours with the different companies so that I can get paid.

Our water heater broke, so it was cold showers all week till they fixed it yesterday. Hooray!!! Now I won´t have my balls in my mouth after a shower.

I have a ton written but forgot to save to my travel drive (I'm so clever!)

Happy today is Friday. 1st day I haven´t taught besides Sunday in three weeks or so. But i do teach 3 hours tomorrow. It´s all good.

This week is Semanna Santa (Holy Week). But basically the Spanish have just turned it into a week of partying, far different from what we know it as in the States. No classes on Thursday. I think Stuart and I are going to the South- Cadiz. He´s made all the plans, so I have no idea what to expect, but should be good craic.

It appears as if the Empire has been dealt a serious blow. Darth got fired by her job this week. They invoked at-will, which I knew they would when she tried to move back from CA. And she´s had some kind of complications, so she´s on bedrest. But things should be fine with the baby. That´s all I know.

Baby due in weeks. No husband, no job. Eek! We do lie in the beds we make but I take no joy in it. I hope it all works out, but anyone above the age of 12 could have predicted this. Still, kind of awful how it takes 30 something years to build a life and a few months to destroy it. I pray it all works out for her.

As for me - I´m dandy. I´m still rocking in the free world. Will try and post again soon.
