Hypnotic Rhythm, and the color Teal
A Night to Remember
A Friday night like any other Virginia Slims, and a Perrier
Could we please enjoy the night, and forget a crazy day
His gaze was intense, and persistent as no other before
Tired from the week-we both got up on the dance floor
Seemingly shy, and dressed in teal he glanced my way
For two total strangers there was electric one would say
Dark, smoldering looks, and a groove on the floor
It did not take long for my heart to adore
We both danced to the music they would play
We both could not turn our heads away
From each other it was something much more
A glance from a girl in teal as we walked to the floor
We stopped, and glanced one another's way
Bruce Springsteen, and the lights were here to stay
Many years later, children, and grands
We did a lot more than just hold hands
Our love grew strong, and still will bloom
It started with a mere glance across the room

The Journey to Write
As a young child who could not put a book down, I knew then that words were my friends. They literally transformed a shy, extremely backward child into faraway lands, or crazy places such as Roald Dahl's Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, or in later years, Are You there God It's Me Margaret. Letters, words, reading simply calmed my soul, and enlightened my spirit. To this day-give me a book to read that I can hold, smell, and flip through the pages to divert attention from a weary day, a snowy day, or pretty much any day.

Message Me Afterwards
>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
