    One of the glorious things about being relaxed and real in #midlife is you can send your text-buddy mutual crush a Cosmo article about sex positions as a .... Birthday gift certificate, redeemable if we ever get to it.

  9. Success?

    The word for the day at Ragtag Daily Prompt is success

    I don’t “hate” a lot of things in life. I did when I was younger until I eventually reached a point where I realized it took a lot of energy to hate. But “success” is a word I hate.

    I used to have a friend (RIP 11 years now☹️) who would judge everyone and everything. We would sit and be miserable together and he’d say stuff like, “He’s had a lot of girlfriends, he’s really a success”, or “He’s really successful, he has a good job and a lot of money.” You get the idea. And of course the underlying idea behind everything is that he and I, by virtue of our not having the things that he defined as “success” in life, like girlfriends, or glamorous careers, or fancy cars, or big houses, or lots of children, were failures.

    Worse, for me, was that his standards of success and failure, they all flew in the face of my hard-earned (and expensive) belief that we don’t judge our insides with other people’s outsides. And as it turned out, hard-earned doesn’t always mean easily kept so there I was crying in my pizza along with him, failure that I was.

    Ok, I don’t totally hate the word success because it has some legitimate uses, but I hate using the word “success” to define a person’s place in life, or in contrast, to indirectly label, or imply, someone a failure. And I’m pretty much back to not judging my insides with other people’s outsides.

    Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile
    And if you take an inch, give ’em back a mile
    ‘Cause if you lie like a rug and you don’t give a damn
    You’re never gonna be as happy as a clam

  14. From my Sketchbook / Journal / Scrapbook 1977-1987 ... Pen & Ink sketches of my co-worker + flatmate Anita that I turned into postcards. It's funny how certain people inspire art - I drew Anita numerous times. A bit awkward in real life ... it seemed a guise for a coolness + elegance that few actually possess.

    Although we have lost touch I remember her every time I hear Joe Jackson or the The because she introduced me to both and they became absolute favorites of mine .... Thank you Anita! 💜💜💜

  19. This is Hank Williams Sr. He used to live above my studio.

    We used to startle each other. I’d open my door and he’d be there on a tree a foot away. We’d stop and stare at each other. Then calmly walk our separate ways.

    On this day he just leapt onto the screen and stayed there for a couple of minutes while I talked to him.

  24. The latest book by my Iraq battle buddy and roommate, Fred Minnick. I’d gotten word today there’s a couple pages where I’m a part of his story. I called him and he read the pages in which he tells of one of our experiences having mortar rounds miss our quarters and then, unable to sleep, he opened a Listerine bottle full of whiskey he’d received in a care package, I grabbed a couple cigars and we sat outside in the area between the trailers we were in dubbed “NCO Alley.”

  29. 3/ FYI, I pulled the trigger on the snapshot restore and #OldFriends is back up. Once accounts got cleared of the pg_toast chunks, it was failing in the status table and that would have taken another several days to clean and who knows how many other tables.

    Working out a better database backup solution...
