So when you mentioned skimboarding it brought back some great memories. Have you ever tried it, because if you haven't you have to try it at least once. It's really fun!

I just got home from work a few minutes ago and I see it's currently 10-0 bears but your boys are driving in the red zone so hopefully this is going to be a good game tonight. Pulling for you guys! Meanwhile we have the Rams on Sunday, and the 49ers get to play the falcons. I've been hearing it all week about their 6-0 start. Schedule is much softer than the Raiders so I'm really looking forward to when we face them in a couple of weeks. One of my coworkers is actually taking that Sunday off to come hang with us and watch the game. He's a die hard 49er fan so it should be fun!

Everything else is going fine my friend thanks for asking. We're finally getting some rain. Oh, and don't even get me started about the holidays. Remember where I work. Our current backroom is packed to the rafters with Christmas merchandise, and it's supposed to be all on the floor by the end of the weekend. Keep in mind we still have a photo contest where the pets and owners dress up and win prizes this weekend. So they can have their photos done with a Halloween backdrop, and then turn down the next aisle and start shopping for Christmas. It's insanity!

Anyway bro, I'm off to grab some food and watch the game but I'll catch you soon!

A few years ago I shared some photos of my city where I grew up. Not sure if you had a chance to look at them before the site closed, but I grew up in a very affluent town about 20 minutes south of San Francisco. The city itself was actually built on landfill, it borders the San Francisco Bay, and when you drive through the neighborhoods most of the houses are on the water. So you could literally get anywhere if you have a small boat or raft. It was really cool growing up there, because not only that was that at our disposal, but there were several inlets straight from the San Francisco Bay that formed its small lagoons. The Parks and recreation department did a wonderful job of setting the City up, and each lagoon had its own Park and small Beach. So instead of having to drag all of my stuff to the actual ocean front, I was able to practice all of my skimboarding right there in the city. It was what all of us kids did at the time. Not to mention there's a huge levy that circles the entire city and Bay where you can walk, bike, skate, etc. However beyond the levy, there was about a good mile or so before you actually hit water where someone got creative and literally dug ditches out there to form an awesome off-road BMX bicycle course full of different jumps.

all is grand in the land of milk and honey,
we did a vote to stay in confederation,
it wasn't close, the vibe to get out was weak.

You can find me where the wind blows

And the frost upon the heart.... "

Absolutely—
there is a big difference between happiness and peace.

But what brings you peace?

i took the test
don't ask

No problem man, its why I said you dont have to leave your mark on it. In regard to relationships, dont say that, you've a lot to offer, if you can find a lady worthy of your eloquence.

You don't have to leave your inimitable stamp on this one if you don't want to. ;)

"Me? It’s not a state of horniness, but I would like the fairer sex to enter my life and attempt to quell my need to be complemented <<< not the flattering compliment but the one where someone completes us. Easier said than done and akin to an ideal that’s never met. A bit of serendipity wouldn’t hurt"

A...MEN brother, A...fucking MEN. I have discussed this with you before, so you know how I feel...and I you. Company is what I'm looking for, a pair of arms. All too young in my class bro, all too young. But Nadine said she would visit me over the holidays, some time around new year's. I'm hoping I'll get a kiss out of it on new year's eve. (hint hint Nadine, if you're reading this) I've suggested it and she hasn't seemed recalcitrant to the idea. But I'll presume nothing, for fear of jinxing it lol

Have you by any chance been watching the new seasons of the sitcom Scrubs? Along with Frasier, it is one of two of my all time favorite U.S sitcoms to be given a second life. But...sadly, just like the revival of Frasier, I'm sorry to say that Scrubs is more of a Zombie than a glorious resurrection. The magic just isn't there anymore, a poorer quality of writing than before, and an aging cast who's hearts are no longer truly in it. There's no chance of a "Friends 2.0" on account of Perry's untimely passing, but perhaps it's just as well, because in the case of Friends, we'll get to remember great art for what it was upon it's unveiling, rather than what it may have become after a potential reboot.

Always good to hear from you bro.

That's very true, how did you know? lol Yes they're throwing an avalanche of material at us. No time to breathe. It's all moving very fast, and we haven't even reached criminal or corporate law yet. Phew! Very interesting though, I just wish I had more time to fully absorb it all before we move onto the next thing. I have three long essays to research and write before November 2nd. Wish me luck. 😔 For one essay, I wanted to write about free speech and hate speech. I was thinking of making mention of the recent fracas between Trump and Kimmel/Colbert. Not sure where in my essay I would insert that, but I'll figure it out. Hope you're well, do share what's happening with you, if you wish. We talk enough about me.
