             Silly Stuff... a grab bag of disconnected thoughts

Received spam entitled "You Don't IM me anymore", which I guess is this generation's You Don't Bring Me Flowers.

Preoccupation (to tune of ‘Anticipation’)

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway, yay
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasin' after some future day

Ref: Preoccupation, Preoccupation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'...

Romantic or Not?

Wonder how Annie Denver took it that loving her was a difficult matter.... The first two lines of John Denver's Follow Me:

It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done /
To be so in love with you so long


Chesterton wrote that for a thing to be entirely romantic it must be irrevocable... Love as an act of the will sounds much more romantic in the marriage vows:

For better or worse, richer for poorer till death due us part

Hiking in the woods Saturday, I notice leaves beneath the canopy flat as patens, seeking stray rays of the dappled sun.
