Well, Margaret, I have had a very wild ride this past year! I am definitely older, like you, and probably wiser, but better? I am not really sure, and better is important to me.
Have you been in some sort of religious seclusion? It sounds like you may have had a revelation or something!!! Your emphasis on the NOW is certainly intriguing. I thought you might be in Bangladesh or a similar place, beyond the reach of brokers wanting tangible cash to cover your exciting but risky bets. I suspect you are an intriguing and clever creature, Margaret!!!
Running the coffee shop? Me? The coffee shop at SI is a maker and breaker of dreams of all kinds, a tease, a pain, a compulsion and an energy drain, a puzzle which holds all the answers and none, a place which is definitely powerful in its own right but can be run by no individual, a synergistic function and a fine, futuristic imaginary community with all the problems of your own neighborhood and the people next door, and can run you down, run you around, run you into your dreams, run you into the ground, run you right out of town . . . |
