Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah!

Lawry is back in town. Well, he will be in town intermittently until the 2nd of January, and by God, it was good seeing him again.

I can hardly believe 7 years have gone by since I first met him. It seemed like only recently we were goofing off and horrifying Mr Weibe with P.Diddy's mangling of "I'll Be Watching/Missing You". Where did it go? When did time pass us by so fast?

Like I said to Lawry, it's less about missing college than missing the friends I had in college.

It was great seeing ya tonight, Lawry honey. We've got to play that pool game again sometime, only with less beer for Irvin.

... Or maybe more. ;o)

And there was once that I wrote about Mr.Tall-Dark-Silent-&-Utterly-Gorgeous aka The Husband. It was great seeing you too, hun. Your caring and beautiful smile made my day. No, hun, he's not the married-man, and yes, hun, he treats me well. :o)

Just as an aside, the papaya tree in the house I'm renting yielded a wonderful harvest today.

We therefore hereby decree that Today was a Great Day.


:o)

Blue Skies, Smiling At Me

Walking from the carpark into the office, I looked up at the sky and thought of my sister.

CocoNad: Abang, I'm going to ask my kids, "Kids, what colour is the sky?" and if they answer, "White, Mummy!" I'm going to say, "Cle-ver children."

She's right. We rarely get blue skies here, and today, it was a dirty, grey overcast. Still, with the dawn lighting, it was beautifully breathtaking.

But sometimes I wonder if people who live under perpetually blue skies are happier people.
