A Reprise

       

Pathway behind our apartment Trinity River, near-dark After dinner, we took an evening walk in the wooded area behind our apartment. We stayed too long and walked in the woods in the dark, and it was very dark by the time we reached home.

Throughout the park this morning there was evidence of a great natural harvest.   

I wish it could be this way always. I wish I could stay in the woods. So much has changed. Things have to change, they can't stay the same. The older I grow, the more past I have to haunt me. And when I refuse to grow up in some way or other, the world contrives to make it very unpleasant for me. I wish I could be young on the weekends. I wish I could slip off that shroud of adulthood and be happy. I thought I would escape, but I didn't after all. It's growing colder and colder as I sit. I will walk more.

1. Finish editing my footage from River Legacy; try it with Windows Movie Maker; add narration and a sound clip, probably "Sister Sleep" by Rasputina. I started it during lunch and had fun. It looks good but I may go re-shoot with the camcorder. I was just doing it incidentally to see how it would work. It was a really windy day, and that looked great. 2. Make a stylesheet for my Multiply site. That site is the awesomest best-kept secret out there. I don't bother using my web space because this is so much better. But it is very ugly, and I'm going to have to use my own design. 3. I need to start my spring planting! I've got to get some seeds when I next go to Wal-Mart.
