I had my first Heath Bar Blizzard in years as we came upon an old school
Dairy Queen in the town of Ghent today. It was quite superb.
We also came upon a sculpture park literally out in the middle of
nowhere in The Taconic Mountains down a mile long dirt road. A guy name
Roy Kanwit has created quite a few sculptures over the years on his
property, the largest being a 19 foot tall head made with a steel frame
and concrete completely accessible from the inside. My favorite is the
one above, I don't know why. They're all pretty interesting if you care
to peruse
them.

The neon lights on Broadway are sometimes LED.
The colors are amongst us. The greens, purples, reds, yellows...all just
like that it seems as I sit on the back porch taking it all in as I type
these words. I did have the music playing but it seemed wrong so instead
I listen to the wind which seems pretty brisk on this sunny warm day.
Watching the
lilac
bushes with their giant purple blossoms blow around, the bird with the
bright orange bill eating off the bird feeder, and the wind chimes
making a distant sounding chime but being right above my head. What a
great day to be off, but then again, any day is a great day to be off.

This is the room I grew up in. It didn't have a door at the time, the
walls were brown knotty pine and there was red and black carpet on the
floor. Looks like it's a den now. My mom said it was for sale again so I
looked it up. My folks bought it for $15,000, sold it in 1987 for
$63,000 and it's for sale now for $250,000. It' been seriously remodeled
and it's more beautiful than ever. The things I used to do in that room.
I was a freak kid.
We're going to see the
True Colors
Tour next month. I'm just freaking excited. I truly love Cyndi
Lauper and The B-52's. You can see that by my much out dated
about me page. How will I make it until
then?
And, this evening, as I was driving, everything seemed different. I
drove the neighborhood, it was the same, yet different. I don't know if
it's because everything has turned green in the last week with all the
rain or what. It's just different.
And even with the new revelation that I have old woman hands,
specifically my moms, I got carded going into a bar Saturday night.
