[Fwd: living in america]

I hope the cement patching of the rough is going well
there is something harder to do than what
i am going through
what is harder is helping melanie pack things up:
scientific, emotional, i think this is like death
only i am still alive in another place i'm done in here and you walk
into the room and say did anything change and then there is I'll be back
in three weeks to finish or i need to run to the knitting store and then
i want to go out in a few hours and let's go for a walk in the arboretum
i leave at noon tomorrow and you know you, the husband, are left with
mountains of things to do only you can't do them really because if you
do the choices you make will not be what your wife would like but she
leaves you no choice but to break her heart throwing something away she
did not have the heart to throw away herself so you are the one who has
to choose and right or wrong you are on husband island. I see all of
this coming but there is nothing i can do about it because every little
item has to be processed by some idiot and that idiot is looking more
and more like me.

all that i really hope for is to find my favorite pair of glasses that i
misplaced last summer. i know they are here somewhere. funny i never
thought of glasses as plural before but i guess they really are.
Remarkably that is what the extra s is for at the end of the word. One
item (your glasses) being plural. Amazing the twists and turns of
language. I could be
lost in that issue all day.

I have decided, once i reorient myself, i am devoting my personal time
to the study of phythagoras. he is the man. i think he lived just across
the water from you. we'll sail to
his hometown and walk the streets he once walked.

like i said, stay on milna, duck under the covers and instead of being a
weekender go through the winter there... i'll bring provisions in the
spring. This recession in america is not going away and might get worse
sooner than later.

also another thing to ponder, the right wing in america has truly gone
crazy in the head... how are they ever going to govern this country
again if they all sit around and clap
that chicago lost the olympic bid to rio, brazail... the last time i
looked chicago was an american city. obama losing is more important that
america losing. these crazies
are going to choke on their crazy. who would ever vote for republicans
to lead us as a nation ever again... let's hope the percentage of crazy
people doesn't go up too high
or we are lost.
