Funny Reminders
It's remarkable.
When you least expect it, a memory surfaces. Not "Funny" ha-ha... but "Funny" as in weird
Today, SyFy channel is running a Star Trek Movie Marathon. Star Trek - The Motion Picture; Star Trek - The Voyage Home and Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country.
Flashbacks ensued.
Flashing back to the first time I saw the Motion Picture. It was December, 1979. Then, another flash to May 16, 1981 between the Wedding and Reception... it was on TV.
Then I flashed to the Voyage Home memories.
How very many times Diana and I watched it. Laughing at Leonard Nimoy's, DeForrest Kelley's and Walter Koenig's lines.... ... sometimes to the point of tears...
Now, The Undiscovered Country's on.
My thoughts are now about Mikey.

Times have changed....
I have Changed...
Life - as I know it - goes onward.
Life's Pendilum has swung on more than one axis.
One can't just simply return to the past. The return swing of Life's Pendilum no longer returns to the path that I was once on. The twists and turns of life's path have altered the continuum and not only have the people (myself, my kids, my former relationships) changed - but the places (Maple Lane, Chippewa) are no longer within the family and one is completely gone!) So not only has the pendilum swung, but the axis has turned. Life has turned the corner and I can't return to what once "was".
But one can learn from it.
I don't know what path I'll be on - but I'm at the crossroads.
There are a nuber of doors in front of me.
I hope that whatever experience I have will be useful in this uncertain future....
... This Undiscovered Country.

Creepy Sideshow.
As time passes, and the roar of the whirlwind dies down, I see that, although I have "adapted" to the new situation, I still see myself as alone in this world.
The creepy sideshow that the political arena and the media has been distracting us with hasn't altered the fact that the world is still a very dangerous place to the Republic. The Creepy sideshow hasn't silenced the din of instability of Europe or the Middle East, both of which are immersed in either financial demise or civil unrest.
Meanwhile, the directors of the creepy sideshow dissuade us from the fact that the entire world is teetering on the brink, and something minute as an increase in gasoline prices could bring the entire world's house of cards crashing down.
Therefore, although much of the personal whirlwind has abated, I am still mindful of the fact that a good stock of guns and ammunition may be the best defense against the pending crash.
... that and a mountan retreat, plus a taste for rabbit & mutton
