Froggy Bottom Cafe: For Froggy Bottom Night Owls
I guess we’ll start serving breakfast? But, the bar’s open too.
Hey! It’s all available. What’s your order?
Just for that, I’m re-posting my twilight scene, for the night owls. As a matter of fact, we actually have some night owls lurking about these evenings.
So there!
Thanks!
I was doing some random reading in Wikipedia and came across the following. While I don’t believe in everything Ken Wilber has written, he’s on the mark here and I thought it appropriate to share with y’all given recent “stormy weather” at the pond:
“I have one major rule: everybody is right. More specifically, everybody–including me–has some important pieces of the truth, and all of those pieces need to be honored, cherished, and included in a more gracious, spacious, and compassionate embrace.” – Ken Wilber
that storms, both literal and metaphoric, have their own beauty, power and purpose; they deserve respect and thoughtful consideration.
That is a lovely thought and a lovely photo, too.
speaking of storms, where the hell is Shirl?
We got a bottle of Franciscan merlot to kill off here.
I think she was disgusted with the tone in some recent diaries and took her leave – see diane’s entry.
but only for the day, right, or for the next few, at least that wasn’t to be interepreted as a CBCW or anything, was it?
I just talked to her on the phone and she said it is so. She is just moving on and can be found at the Village Blue or her site…Sorry to say…
Well, let’s give it a few days…let the dust settle.
Diane, I’ve since gone back and looked at some of the earlier pastor Lincoln stuff…I think Benjamin is right. Lincoln should come back in sans the heavy religious stuff, talk about his life in Africa and his business plans, but seriously…my advice to you personally….go down there.
If money’s the issue: hell, collect contributions for THAT here. Anyway, I’m turning in.
I was over at Village Blue today….tell Shirl g’nite and sweet dreams and she should not stay gone.
Btw, the outrage over the 2 diaries about dKos, yeah, I kinda wondered about that too. Like, is this REALLY necessary?
Some days you win, some days you lose.
Well its up to him, I told him so, sent an email. But when he did write about those other things there was very little interest…In addition he only has little snatches of time to write and I have been quite amazed at what he manages to do. He is a not so well treated servant more or less at the internet cafe, run by very mean India natives who seem to have a large stake in that country and use the natives for their work, much like here. He was named for President Lincoln, very much admired by his Mother. All the children have American names I think. Perhaps he will be on site tonight.
I do appreciate all the support I got from friends on this site, yours as well.
I’m off to bed now, hugs to you.
I am kinda a Wilbur fan, myself, although everything he says sorts of slips off my brain. I like that one. I suppose we’ve all got a piece of the wrong, too.
Hey, Is Kansas still around?
In the last Cafe you gave me a 4 but never answered my question:
What is the latest on KC getting another hockey team?
Inquiring minds need to know: I balance out the part of my brain that knows who the heck Ken Wilber is with the hockey part, LOL. Kind of a yin-yang thing.
Wasn’t going to be around, but how can I resist this thread?
Um, hockey in KC. I can only answer questions about that if my son is nearby. I think I vaguely remember that he said something about it still being on the table? Or maybe he was talking about table hockey. Or horse hockey. Or David Hockney.
Here, have a 4.
if I keep haulin’ this thing around, I’m gonna get busted
:{)
‘Nuther tequila, lime,no salt…gracias
Peace
Too much! Marmots Forever.
Now I really am checking out. See you varmits in the manana.
I am having the coolest experience. I just remembered that for a few years before I got a digital camera, I had my pictures stored on Kodak CDs as well as getting prints.
And I haven’t looked at those CDs in years. It turns out that I saves some of them to the hard drive (as jpg format) but there are a lot of nice photos that I didn’t save (for space back then? or just thinking I’d go back to the CDs?).
Any way, I think the kids are going to get a photo album each for Christmas.
katiebird, I need you to come here and bust my ass about this eating shiznit. I’ve been so good for awhile and now I’m just letting emotions get the best of me. I’m such an emotional eater…are you? I eat when I’m pissed off. I eat when I’m happy. Lonely. Nervous.
I’ve been successful losing lots of weight and I felt powerful and healthy and in control and swore I was never going back to indiscriminate eating. But the last month or two I’ve been a wreck. Gaaaaaa!
Ok, calm down. Do you want to talk in email? I’m happy to talk to you.
Our city had a contest for businesses to create swan designs. It is something our city is rather famous for…its beautiful rare swans. I managed to get pictures of most of them. They are scattered around town now, but they were all near downtown for a while. This is one of my favorites.
It’s snowing here on Long Island this morning. It’s snowing :o) Perfect.
The place we go to is a farm where there’s an old barn that’s full of home made wreaths, roping, decorated trees, and ornaments for sale. Not to mention a fire and hot cocoa. The smell of fresh hay and oak greatly pleases the senses. :o) Perfect.
Here it is.
It’s precious time spent with the whole family doing what we don’t do enough of, spending precious time together. It’s nice. My family is dealing with many tumultuous issues and facing some fairly stark changes, and my wife and I are not very close these days. That’s probably apparent to some of you who know me a bit more than others. I wish it weren’t so, but it is. Next year promises to be very different around here than it has been. I might not be married much longer, so I’m grateful for days like today. It’s snowing and we are heading out to find our tree :o) Perfect
I’ve been there and have gone through what you are going through. It’s hard and it heartbreaking and whether it works out or not better days will come. That sounds like such a hollow statement, but it is true.
Enjoy your precious time.
Thank you Sir.
Btw, did you say you are a Grandfather? ;o)
Yes I am. I guess I over emphasized it at the welcoming party. However, I never thought I would get to this point and I’ve always thought of babies the same way as puppies and kittens. They’re so damn cute and huggable. Of course as any grandpa would say “mine is the cutest in the world”, but I haven’t see any other baby that doesn’t run a very close second.
Well I don’t mean to give the impression that I think you overemphasized being a Grandfather. It’s my way of letting you know how cool I think it is that you find it so cool to be a Grandfather ;o) My oldest kid is 18, so I have a ways to go, but I’m definetily looking forward to it because you and I share the same affection for babies.
I know you didn’t and I guess I should have put a 😉 after it in my post. I’m in my early 50’s and my oldest is 22. I’m actually glad she didn’t wait a long time to have children. At least when the grandchildren are getting older I’ll still be able to get around to do a lot of stuff with them. I’ve already asked her when they’ll have another one, but forever being the logical person she is, she tells me when they can afford it.
Of course I’d like to be a Grandfather right now for my own selfish reasons. I’m almost 44.
But at the end of the day I hope my son (oldest) and my daughters (15 and 12) are as logical as your daughter and wait awhile for their own selfish reasons.
Peace
