Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

It's hard to think that it's been 5 yrs--but I guess it makes only sense. In the end, you're dead soooo much longer than you're alive. No point in arguing with God. She always wins.

With every day, I get closer to it myself. Jackie reminded me of a quote from the last unicorn: (paraphrased) "I feel myself rotting all around me..." Such is the fate of mortals.

One day, I'll have a console stereo like my dad used to have. I'll restore it myself, oh so carefully, and on Saturdays at 6:00 a.m., I'll play the platters greatest hits... Can you hear it now? Can you see him smiling?

"They said someday you'll find / All who love are blind. / When your heart's on fire, / You must realize..."
