like a drifter I was born to walk alone

G, sorry I've been absent. I've still been following and silently sending you some positive energy. I don't have anything clever, wise or inspirational to offer but I won't let that stop me from at least telling you that we love having you as a poster on these forums and are wishing you a speedy recovery.

I think a dog would be a great idea. Dogs are about as close to perfect as anything in this world gets. Really. I've thought a lot about it, there really isn't anything bad about a dog. They are super loving, loyal, appreciative, enthusiastic, and happy. I used to think they were evolved beyond humans. I remember one acid trip when I was 18 I wrote a bunch of stuff down while I was peaking and the next morning I looked at it and it was mostly gibberish including "Animals are just people that are smart enough to have learned how to become animals". That and my hands were cut up because I had been so blown away by my kaleidoscope that I broke it open only to find out that it was just a piece of string, a marble, a short piece of colored straw, and 3 mirrors which had apparently broke and cut me. I still remember the horrible feeling of loss I had when I was just staring at that stuff in my hands wondering where the new universes of magic and color I had been convinced I was going to discover had disappeared to. I guess that's a lot like my marriage.

Anyway, excuse the trip down memory lane. Back to what matters. You and your D9 and your soon to be new perfect pet. That all sounds pretty good G. Keep us posted and hang in.
