Quote of the day:
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting. e. e. cummings
It is time to pack the bags and travel again. Tomorrow we head out to California to see the gang plus two. Just for a few days this time.
And in between I will fly over to LA, just for one day, to see Danny after a long, long time, and meet Neil for the first time.
Well, Neil owes me a date, actually but with the brief time allotted and chaperoned by Danny and Sophia, I wonder just what kind of a date this will be.
Come to think of it, I have not seen Danny since he suggested I start blogging two and a half years ago. So, yes. This can definitely be called a Bloggers' Meeting in the making.
When I return, I plan to bury my head and heart into writing ... remind me of this plan, will you? Especially when I stray to playing on Facebook and Twitter, watching movies, blogging, seeing friends, walking in the Wissahickon ...
... ain't life grand?
A year ago at Mining Nuggets: There's a post in me somewhere ...
Mike, I love your new pictures posted on Facebook. You bring the SA coast so vividly for us all to enjoy.

Yeah....
I expressed exactly the same sentiment to somebody or other within the past 24 hours.
Why note it? Because it's a frequent feeling; "despite it all" life continues to amaze, bemuse, fill with joy, confuse...
It's truly truly grand.

You Tamars are all cut from the same cloth! Can't wait to see you on Saturday, Tamar (has it really been that long?), and look forward to meeting you one day, Tamar.

Thanks, Tamar.
I will send your regards to Danny, although, hopefully, he might have read your words here by the time I arrive in LA!

Nesiya tova (traveling mercies) and please send danny my regards. Last month he replied to a comment i left on his blog and added that he initially thought it was from "another" tamar, given the similarity in sensibilities. And i replied, oh, her, i know her — that dear cyberpal of mine!
