You are a dear. 
Damn. Brilliant
Sons, made of happy flesh but the spirals were broken.
Some part of the helix unwound with a bitter twist.
The oldest cannot meet your eye
and flaps his arms when there is too much anything
Too much joy, too much sound, too much sad.
The youngest bites and I have held him
On concrete, snarling
He tried to bite out my throat
Both cry...

That is a thoroughly acceptable answer.

Thanks for the suggestion! I do take glucosamine and have found it helpful so far. 
Frida & Diego at The High
Mrs. tadkil and I are still processing this exhibit. Prior to seeing Frida with Salma Hayek, I had not been exposed to her work at all, or Diego's. I think this was clearly the Anglo bias of the instruction I received. The movie opened up this work for me and led me to Neruda and others really wonderful...

The restaurant I went to served their carrot cake french toast with cream cheese frosting, raisins, and walnuts on the side. I haven't tried to make it at home yet, but I will, oh yes The thing is, I make an awesome carrot cake but it wouldn't hold up to being french toasted. I told my mom about it and commented that I thought you'd need sort of a dryish carrot cake to start with. She hypothesized that you'd bake the cake, then slice it and leave it to dry for a day or so before attempting to batter it.
(My mom then made me sourdough french toast, which I have also never had before. Yum!)
Because of this post, I went to the High while I was in Atlanta - wouldn't have bothered to drive in to see this exhibit otherwise. My first cynical take as I walked in was, "Oh, this is just a way to try to draw ATL's Hispanic population in." But I got past that. It was a great exhibit - loved the juxtaposition of quotes, paintings, and photographs. I wish they'd had more of Rivera's murals - those were fascinating - and perhaps a few less of his cubist paintings. Also I wish they'd had more photos of Frida. What a striking face and bearing she has.

thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it.
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered...

I bought really awesome danskos, but I think these particular ones are better for standing and walking than just standing. They help me out a lot in lab but I think for Pharmacy I'll need something else. I'm going to go to the Walking Company again to see what they have.
otoki:
It's carpeted back there, actually. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's just concrete under that.

A Brave and Startling Truth
We, this people, on a small and lonely planet
Traveling through casual space
Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns
To a destination where all signs tell us
It is possible and imperative that we learn
A brave and startling truth
And when we come to it
To the day of peacemaking
When we release our fingers
From...

Soon, starting on Monday. Government auditors in the house. Oh boy!
So, I am on a six month blog cycle. T. S. Elliot said,"Through getting and spending we lay wate our power." I certainly have seen my writing time obliterated this year. My life is commerce and local industry.
I am so worried about this election and where we are headed as a nation, and as a world body. We've found ourselves right back where we...

i have seen and known the peace. it is a welcome comfort after a long time in harsh lands. but it is only a brief comfort for some. it gets old. it gets stale. it doesnt smell like my job, nor my life. i have never done well with regular people. they baffle and intrigue me. but. that is life. most of my anger gets consumed in the gym.

Thank you!
