the phone with gReg key... he's visiting his mom in slo-town
for the holidays. wHas so nice to catch-up with oNe of my
oldest tribe members. like a brother.. or as a brother..
he is to me, as close as they come. he's a only child like
me raised by a single mother.. we both were born and grew
up in good ol paSo robles... like brothers we also speak
alike.. deep voice with the same inflections. wHen I talk
with him.. i hear myself and sometimes .. if people get
the chance.. mistake our voices for each other. we share
a sense of humour that can only come from growing up where
we did. he gets my jokes.. and sense of humour because we
created it together. He's living in AZ. now going to gRad
sChool - studyin' middle east Translations.. completing
his first semester.. he's been back and forth to Turkey
and USA for the last decade or so. suCh a distance since
our high school drama class days.. he wHas sHy in high school
but sHined his talent on stage taking most leads through
his acting career in high school. finian's irish accent
is wHat i remember .. playing the cowpoke woody wHen we
did finian's rainbow.. i remember getting a record of Finian's
rainbow - the moVie with fRank sinatra and practicing our
parts.. so many memories of greg in my life that will never
go away..
he is my past
.. part of how i have evolved and reminds me of that "cowboy
hatt" feeling of knowing wHere i come from and the
connection with that and how i wear it. im proud of it..
happy new years
greg!
iM still so glad
you are part of my life!

You
have the secret. You know the score. You could tell people
all about it, but the words would be meaningless without the
experience. Who cares if they think that you're being too
smug or flighty? They're probably suffering from hangovers
and are jealous that you seem to be fine. The answers to these
troubles are all there in your message. Let the New Year take
you in its loving embrace, comforting and inspiring you. You
have a lot of work to do, and many new ways to play. You can't
wait to get started.
