It Would Have Been 35 Years Today 20120618

I am feeling a bit wistful tonight, so please bear with me.  On this date 35 years ago the former Mrs. Translator and I were married.  I was 20 and she was 19.  We had both been in relationships before, but as soon as we met we knew that we were going to be special to each other.

I was at a friend’s house one afternoon and a powder blue 1976 Camaro pulled into the driveway.  I do not recognize the car.  It pulled up to where my friend and I were and driving it was the most beautiful girl that I ever saw.

She was my “type”.  Petite, with long, dark, hair that had just enough natural curl.  Her voice was not shrill, but not masculine either.  As Goldilocks would say, it was just right.  I was 18 and she was 17.  It was not what is termed “love at first sight”, but we were immediately attracted to each other.

INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY…

INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY WAS YESTERDAY, THE SAME DAY AS THE FULL MOON, OCTOBER 22, 2010.  UNFORTUNATELY WE ALL MISSED IT.  BUT MAYBE NOTHING IN OUR WORLD IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR CAPS LOCK ANYWAY RIGHT NOW.  YA THINK?

SO I PUT THIS OUT NOW, 13 MINUTES TOO LATE, IN ORDER TO GET US READY FOR NEXT YEARS’ INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY, JUST IN CASE THERE IS SOMETHING TRULY DIRE BY THEN, SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW RIGHT THEN AND THERE, RIGHT THEN-NOW, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

IF IMPORTANT THINGS HAVEN’T ALREADY HAPPENED BY THEN AND WE ARE ALL STILL HERE FOR INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY 2011.  

AND, IF NOT, REMEMBER WE CAN ALL USE THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COMMEMORATED IN WITR AS A PONY/REC OPTION:

   

KHAQQ TO ITASCA

IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS, IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER.  BUT YOU CAN ASK, IF CURIOUS.

IN THE MEANTIME, STAY WELL, HEALTHY, AND ALIVE UNTIL NEXT INTERNATIONAL CAPS DAY, UNLESS YOU CAN THINK OF SOMETHING BETTER TO DO.

Ten Drops of Wine

Turkana has a post up speaking to the many deficiencies of the soon-to-be-passed (or not) health insurance legislation.

In comments, a poster, GN1927 speaks to something that hit a chord of memory in me:

Blessings to your family

But with all due respect, can we please celebrate what’s on the table for two seconds; everyone knows that this legislation is a start, not a finish.

God bless your cousin and sending healing energy that way.

The memory was of Obama’s election and Proposition 8’s passing in California, all at the same time.
