boston town

out with likosky last night. the old haunts. charlie's kitchen, model cafe. both full of townies, but sprinkled with some kids. it was alright.



i am tired today.

long lost pint glass

first ghostie beer

post-holiday poor timing

saw this on facebook this morning. as a former consultant there and knowing how many people have been, or are about to be let go with the merger, this struck me as odd.

back to the front

slept in fits and starts. wanted to fall asleep under the tree first, so i ended up waking up on the couch at 1:30 am to a documentary on the history channel called "god v. satan."

when i got to bed, my dreams were crazy, lucid dreams - part ghostly, part feverish, intense.

woke up early to try to get busy quick. i feel rested after the holiday, but the work ahead weighs on me.

ghosts of christmas past

one of the best christmases we've had, but i can't help but think of years past.

i've lost lots, either left or left me, or passed.

you're still with me.

the unconquered sun

"Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still" by Gustave Dore, (d. 1883)

". . in thine own heart there comes those things that would make afraid. But fear is of the earth. The spirit of truth and righteousness casteth out fear."
- edgar cayce

"And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight."
- joshua 10:25

christmas eve lunch

at billy's famous roast beef in wakefield, mass.

this is sandwich #2. you gotta get one with cheese and mayo, one with
sauce.

it's good to be home.

sol invictus

after everything, i haven't given up.

the unconquered sun.

they're right about one thing...

"You'll be in a position to achieve some of your dearest professional ambitions. A good occasion to improve your material situation will present itself to you; seize it without fail, don't be careless. Don't let your situation worsen; tackle your problems without delay. You'll probably suffer from stomach heaviness and intestinal gas; eat cumin, refrain from starchy foods and delicatessen."

the hanged man

it dies today.

secret wars

blooming

You'll be able to assert yourself in your professional milieu and achieve a feat. In love, try not to privilege logic at the expense of feelings; to submit everything to reason is the worst error you could commit. Keep a good watch on the health of your children and the company they entertain. You'll recover a blooming physical form; however, beware of your gluttony.

can't wait to get home for christmas

"Come home and see our tree!"

astonishing

Even though you feel that what life owes you is given you too sparingly, this day will be rather favorable on the financial and amorous planes. Your sexual performance will astonish you as well as it will your love partner. Do not commit the habitual error of believing that you can do nothing about what's unfavorable. Give yourself wholly to your work, for your assiduity will be largely rewarded.

evidently chicks are gonna dig my cumin breath

according to my chinese horoscope.

"Your superiors will be very satisfied with your work, and they'll let you know it. Your personal charm will be heightened, and you'll have no difficulty whatsoever to make a fine amorous conquest. Some slowing down of the digestive function; refrain from fatty dishes, sweets, drink infusions of star anise, cumin and fennel. A very much complicated question of heritage may spring up; be diplomatic."

live. i am coming.

"Death tugs at my ear and says, 'Live, I am coming.'"
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., poet, novelist, essayist, and physician (1809-1894)
