Spring Bee Hiving Moon
The Woollies met tonight at Christos, a Frank B. treat. He’s in the O.R. on Monday at 7:30 and Tom goes into UofM hospital this Thursday at 6am for an 8am procedure. Tom will be out the same day, but recovering for three months; while Frank will be in the O.R. for several hours, but perhaps require recovery of only 2-3 weeks.
We also celebrated Bill Schmidt’s lucky birthday (his observation), 77. He had a candle stuck in some baklava. Tom, Warren and Bill enjoyed some retsina which was on special. Frank, Scott and I enjoyed the water.
We had some good laughs at my peccadillo in west Texas with the gas and even more about my surprise at ending up in Kansas.
At these times we bring 25 plus years of shared history so the sharing is deep without needing always to be verbalized. I’m glad and proud to know these men, to love them and to have them in my life.
Best wishes to Tom and Frank during and after their respective visits to the temple.
Charlie,
As you mature as a writer, you become more of a poet in your style. I appreciate your perspective on life.
I also appreciate our gatherings. Every time we get together new treasures are discovered as we choose to be present to ourselves and to each other. The willingness to share the self with the other seems to be at the center of our time together. Your willingness to share yourself in your writing is special. I am hearing what you are writing. Thank you.
