Today began with a Sunday morning peace - a crisp, blue, peace - and is ending in a calm, moonlit peace... cool., by the woods. In between all that, here's what happened:
1. I read a few morning papers, drank some coffee, smoked a few cigarettes.
2. I snuck out for a morning drive to see a house I thought might be a good buy - it is, there are contracts on it already. While there, I saw a friend, Bill, who lives near the house. We wandered around the yard together for a minute, catching up, talking about maple trees, neighbors, dogs, and stone foundations. The house is built of hand-made brick.
3. I re-arrived at the starting place of my day, began to get excited about the Titans game, sold my tickets because there's just too much to do right now, then I convinced my girlfriend Chandelle to come see the house I'd gone to see.
4. She likes it too, even though we think it's sold.
5 I watched the game. Vince is amazing.
6. I communicated with a teenager later, unrelated to everything else here I've mentioned; communicating with a teenager is always a risk.
7. I got a call from someone who wants to see my house, always fun, and a risk. They're coming over tomorrow.
8. So I bought some flowers.
9. My house is nice, even without flowers.
10. The Titans are cool, now...
11. It's getting cold outside, so I'm going in.
12, 13, 14: I hope they like my house (I do); I will sleep well tonight; I hope the teenager's doing well, because I love her.
