The evenings linger

and the nights last forever

yet our lives so short…

sunset 1

sunset 5

And it was a very good day. It wasn’t a good day for any specific reason, other than I got to spend it with Jean, the love of my life. All of our days together are pretty damned good, heh.

I got up a little bit earlier today, about 10:00, and I’ll get up earlier tomorrow.

Jean and her girls are going to Las Vegas tomorrow… well, she’ll be leaving tomorrow, they’ll fly out of ArKansas and meet Meghan there. Jean’ll get back here on Monday.

Correction, Jean will be leaving on Thursday, not tomorrow. I got my days confused….

And Thursday – JD and Heather will be here! They’ll be able to stay until Sunday, I think, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them… I think it was the first of November the last time we were down there, and JD hasn’t been up here in ages.

sunset 2

Saturday night Joe’s friends here in Topeka will celebrate his life at a bar somewhere in North Topeka, Hunter’s Ridge, I’m gonna have to scout out the location before then, I’m not familiar with that territory at all. I’m looking forward to seeing all of those people but I’m very sorry for the cause of the occasion….

Jean went shopping this afternoon for some necessities for her trip… like, a complete new wardrobe, heh… not really. but she got some stuff that I’m looking forward to seeing her in.

And we went out a little later, looking for sheets but mostly looking for flowers at Gage Park… and there were no flowers in evidence at all. I was disappointed, of course, but not really surprised.

sunset 3

About sunset I pulled into a vacant parking lot and shot some images of the sunset… most of the clouds were in the south and hardly any in the west where I needed them to be.

Going to try to get to sleep earlier tonight….

sunset 4

“Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites.” – Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia

Thanx for being here… all these years!!!!
