Infatuation

"There's something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You're never quite sure where they'll take you."

the 2006 film
"Miss Potter"

On April 14, 2009 I received a quote via e-mail from Alan's dear mother, Gloria Weiner-Freiman-Cohen:

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you would have rather talked.
And, oh, how some oldsters can talk!

It made me laugh because of how Gloria loves to talk.

Please say a little prayer of 'hope and love' for Gloria as she is still recovering from her pelvic fracture after a fall on a New York City street in SOHO on November 17, 2009. Ouch.

Twenty-five years ago today:

Today I chose 'The Lovers' as my TAROT Card for the day; however, nothing 'lovey-dovey' happened. Then again...it could relate to my many infatuations.

THE LOVERS:
The Tarot card meaning of 'The Lovers' is all about love and everything it entails. Without a doubt, this is one of the more straight-forward card meanings in the deck. The aspects of our lives that deal with passion, infatuation, sex, arousal, and all those things that heat us up. This card comes up when we are contemplating a new romance, when we're obsessed with another person, or when we are in more than one amorous relationship. On a lesser scale, card also comes up when we are developing a partnership in business. It may also indicate matters regarding friendship and family.

I wanted to go out on this evening to see Karen (the Cybil Shepherd lookalike waitress) at BAXTER's in Concord but I did not make it happen. I was sidetracked because mom took the day off.

The telephone rang and it was Cedric Green. We had a good talk.
"You know, Michael, I stopped by your place a couple of Saturday's ago but you weren't home."
"Oh, I was probably working at MACY's."
After that roundabout discussion we decided to make tentative plans of going out on January 11th. Who knows what could take place between now and then though?
I told him a fib.
"Well, I have a date tonight with Karen, she works at Baxter's in Concord," I fibbed to Cedric. I had to be on-guard in case he suggested going out tonight.
I was dreamin' on that date with Karen. If only I did have that date. Time will tell.

After I wrote out all of my bill paying checks I had only a measly seventy-five dollars remaining. I decided to spend time with mom and watch the three hours of VCR-taped "Young and The Restless" shows with her. I left her place at around midnight.

"I'm almost like a child.
I can hardly wait for the morning."
