I am considering republishing some old poetry on this forum, written under the pseudonym “glenn”, the first being written on September 25, 1996:
Sonnet #11
These events have opened a flood, a streamdeep in thought of your beauty, of your eyesI am melted by their luminous gleam --a green brown to make jealous the blue skies
On top of that, your voice mesmerizesmakes the day easier, takes the mind awayfrom worries and pains; it emphasizesa pinch back from dreamland, the real McCoy
Who could call it insanity? Not I!And the soft touch, ever so sensitivethrows me into a realm, I know not why,I thought was only imaginative
your beauty goes unacknowledged by you,which confuses me, as I can't help but view.

A near week with no AC is now over!
Seems pretty weird to have to “camp out” in ones own house, but that’s precisely how we managed 6 full days without AC in the warm July of Virginia, residing on air mattresses in the basement.
The new AC was completed about 6pm Thursday, with the actual in the house reading of 88 degrees around 6:30pm - by 9 it was still 83 degrees, and by 11:30 only down to 79 degrees, so one more night in the basement it was. It wasn’t until 7:30 AM this morning (Friday) that it cooled down to the programmed temperature.
And it has been wonderful ever since. And best part yet - tonight I get to sleep in my own bed for the first time in a week!
“England is closing in, cutting off our air; there’s no time, there’s no air” - Ceasar Rodney (Delaware)
Figures it is a hot July day that the compressor would fail - when the actual temp is higher inside than out… should be interesting to see what the $$ damage will be…
Not that many would know it, but I used to blog under this name on PDT - pleasedrivethrough.com - a board community with all the news that’s fit to abuse. It’s a real happening place - with some very left members and some very right members, and quite a few in the middle too.
I highly recommend a visit - drop in, register, and post some too, new members welcome.
