(Umbrella –  by Existrance/deviant art)

 This is where I come to talk to myself by dredging up an old photograph or a memory and beating it to death with my keyboard.  One day all this blather will be treasured by my progeny.   Deluded as that notion might be, it’s what keeps me here.  Just to clarify things a little, no part of my past or present life was ever spent actually living on a sidewalk.  Life in the fast lane would have been a big fat lie;  life on a skinny railing high above the railroad tracks with an umbrella at dawn – damn.  Didn’t think of that one fast enough.  But it’s sometimes how life feels.  Precariously tense,  but insanely fun.

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” (Agatha Christie)
