Sometimes life hits you with these moments when you realize there are some things that are over for good, that there is no retrieving them, no "tomorrow is another day" Scarlett promise.

Yes, I know. And how it is that the things that you love the most so often bring you the greatest sadness along with the happiness.

In recent years, I have had cause to think of my grandfather who lived to be 99 and often said, "It takes courage to grow old."

How right he was.

Next time you find yourself suffering the Cereal Aisle Blues, perhaps it would be helpful to gaze upon a box of Grape Nuts and imagine the late great Euell Gibbons asking, "Did you know most parts of a pine tree are edible?"

Transience is a bitch.

Anyway, I printed this one for my wife to read over her breakfast tomorrow (in all likelihood, cereal) as sort of a morning prayer 'cause we get caught up in the hassles the little bastards bring but forget to smell the coffee. I mean we forget to remember that soon enuf they won't be there and we'll be trying to remember what it was like and regretting that we were caught up in the hassle of it rather than the sweetness and well, you said it better.

Thanks.

Rambi, empty nest syndrome. We baby-boomers up to our necks in it. Not to mention Sudden Wealth Converted to Sudden Poverty Syndrome [due to dot.bomb and techwreck].

<I realize that this is terribly obvious, but I can't tell you how very, very sad it was. They are gone. My toddlers aren't there and they never will be again.>

Game Over!
