- kitten, who has taken a break from delivering pizza and drinks of
- choice to the crowd at callahans, is ready to toast the new year here...
-
- "despite the subject line (thanks bloomy) this is a serious
- toast...1992 -- 'what a long strange trip it's been'...last new year's
- day i spent watching "wings" on the discovery channel...10 hours of
- it in fact...because my house guest enjoys that sort of thing...my
- house guest was a dear friend who flunked out of school and went away
- for the semester and summer...and when he came back this fall he found
- a new dear friend...so we are still friends, but he doesn't need me
- any more...
-
- the reason i spent one of the most important days of the year with
- somebody else than my beloved t.c.....he was in texas for awhile...but
- he didn't particularly like the supercollider folx and unfortunately
- the feeling was mutual...so he came home ... and i am glad, because
- this is home.
-
- we had an unexpected addition to our family unit...a bouncy baby 15
- year old... my youngest stepson, lee. he got into trouble and for the
- second time in 6 years his mother said that we either had to take him
- or she was going to have him put away...since we should never have let
- him go back the first time, we said okay...but this time it is
- legal...the lawyer said he is ours...we paid the fee and she can't
- have him back...no matter what she does! and it's good....
-
- i was diagnosed as clinically depressed after being sick (literally)
- for a year...and we are working on getting that fixed. it put lots of
- things at risk (including my job) but things are more secure now...
-
- i had a spiritual awakening when i went back to "the land" and spent a
- week in the wilderness with women and music and myself...
-
- i heard spider robinson sing...in person
-
- here in the Place...people have come and people have gone...and i have
- found some friends who are forever...we did some major
- partying...didi's surprise party comes to mind...we all did that and
- it inspired her to do nick chopper's birthday in oz.....she organized
- it... from her bed in geneva where she nearly died...and i helped her
- post it.
-
- there has been lots of joy here....and some sadness...and lots and
- lots of fun...and love.
-
- and that brings me to my toast...'to US....to the spirit...to shared
- pain and shared joy...to 1993!'"
