I wrote out a bunch of checks today, which burned the 6/30/09 (or 30/6/09, if you drive on the left) date into my mind. I cannot believe we are already at the midpoint of this year.
For years, I can't quite remember why, I've followed an old superstition of beginning each month by intoning the words "rabbit rabbit rabbit" as the first English-speaking sounds out of my mouth.
That probably explains the speed of the year. Fast-moving hares. Bunny hops. Multiplying like rabbits. Wabbits wuv cawwots, hahahahahaha.
Em is more than halfway through her first week of her first month away, and from the sound of it is loving every minute of it.
We will end the first half of 2009 far more solvent, far more confident, maybe even far more Pepsodent (if the Crest and Colgate run out) than we began it.
And despite the losses to our pop-culture population in the past sixdays months, the inspiration of this piece, himself a former child star but one who didn't turn into a freak of nature, is still with us.
Isn't that lovely?
