...as the liquor and exhaustion catch up I have a few things to add.

First: There have been three…oop…make that four close gun shots fired in my neighborhood. The sound is unmistakeable.

Second: thought—-will any of these blog posts effect my future as an academic genius….cage girls need love too…

Third: As I admitted to her and to you, my dear readers, no one holds a candle to my lovely Aarts: the charm, intelligence and dancing has no comparison…

...flings, however, are free to aply…

Last: These posts are the result of my first real encounter with alcohol in over 1 1/2 years. The extended break was a result of medical necessity, exercise in self control, and a release of those small weights holding back progress. Admitedly, I have a very intense personality that siezes on any particular activity and carries it to a near absurd maximun; alcohol, despite the health benefits of red wine, does not strike me as a subject that requires my hyper-attention.
