Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Sunday, November 28, 2004
An honor.
Over the years I have added several blogs to my "must read" list, including The Daily Pequod.
My online friend Robert had a little celebration upon the 5,000 hit on his blog, and I had the honor of being the chosen one. The winner received a poem and a beer on him. I took a raincheck on the beer until we get to San Francisco (probably in February), but Robert did go ahead and wrote me a haiku:
Little bird on stalks
Flits from encroaching wave
Live crab in hungry beak
I've never had someone write me a haiku before. I find the honor very fascinating. And I look forward to the beer.
In other fascinating news, I've hit a month on my beard and I must say that I'm digging it this time around. I had mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was going to do a "Beards For A Cause" charity, but I'm going to help out by contributing to their website instead. I don't think I can commit to a beard that goes untrimmed for year and keep my lover, family and employment.

I LOVE Haiku. It's simple, yet eloquent. That was cool. Indeed an honor JP. I am inspired to go write one.
Take care!
