Unwoke never sleeps! there's a Zen koan for you.

Or is it, more properly, an oxymoron?

Consider: our founder is exactly half way around the world from us Ettes, his noon is our midnight, so we've got all 24 hours covered. Andwe've got followers from all the time zones in between!

Still I've been , er…caught snoozing, i reckon you might say (and thanks, dear Liz!) Its true, posting the occasional poem is something i could do in my sleep. I owe you better, higher quality posts!

But this wont be one. Today i hafta start Christmas decorating . i want to be ABT (all but tree) by tonight. Last night on the way back from the shooting range we passed so many houses illuminated copiously, looking great—although i pass those houses every week, and in the cold light of day they are fairly modest and unassuming. It made me nervous. All my usual Christmas events are BACK ON this year, after last year's non-Thanksgiving, teensy Christmas "party" , and NO Birthday luncheon for my BMD , whose natal day is Dec 24! (Ive always pitied him, it sux sharing a birthday with God.)Of course there's still time for Faustus, (physician to the Damned), Bygone, and the CDC to fuck it all up. But I must be ready, it cant be MY fault.

Our week in Boulder, CO, was a bit of a distraction. we were staying in a small dormer room every inch of which was covered with a vine-patterned wallpaper— very frontier. It all seems like a dream now, especially the first night when i very nearly brushed my teeth with my KY jelly. The comic possibilities of that have kept me giggling ever since. You're welcome! plus I did learn sump'n: the room had a TV but it was positioned so you couldn't really see it from the bed, so i did NOT start every day with the news, and i recommend that. Trouble will find you soon enough, you really don't need to start every morning with a trailer of the disaster movie you'll be living as the day unfolds. OMC! (No, thats not a typo, it stands for "O-mi-cron "……)

This has been your daily dose of Hypatia. Bottoms up! (Which is also the posture i will be assuming when i dig out my Christmas decorations. In 3..2…1!)
