um... yeah. that's random.
I am fascinated by the way the skin on my hands heals itself - and how it heals differently on different parts of my hand. Like, I never get a scar on the palm, but I have LOTS of scars on the topside of my hands. So cool.
I don't think I would like to live in a place with the word "Downs" in it. Like, "Brentwood Downs" or "Sterling Downs" - sounds depressing. But a place with "Ups" in the name? Absolutely! "Willow Tree Ups" and "Hanover Ups" - let's do it!
I am encouraged by the fact that people will go out of their way to do something nice for you without expectation of a reward. That rocks.
I think it's time for viruses to just go away for the year. Maybe they can go on vacation for a while? I'd like not to encounter any for at least the next month. Oh yeah!
March 24th is coming up quickly. I am SO looking forward to fasting this year - what better way to prepare for the coming of spring, new beginnings, etc.? Wow. Yeah.
I miss having a bird's nest on my front porch with eggs that hatch into babies! Aw. At least I still have my windchimes - I just have to find a place to hang them.

hahaha, ez! awesome.
and i am ALL ABOUT you living in a place called "big ups" in texas one day, george!!! hahahaha! loved that.
and just to be clear, i have no aversion to the word "downs" - it was more a humorous quip that i made to steve while we were driving in the car one day and passed several gated subdivisions with the word "downs" in the name. i also joked about the fact that they all have gates because they have to keep the depression locked up. :-P just being silly!!
but yeah... i love open, rolling grassy hills, especially in "upland country" - interesting then that we use the word "downs", eh?
and wow - 100 definitions? that's both awesome and scary. mostly awesome though. he he!

I can see the aversion to what "Downs" has come to mean, or even in the context of the depression inherent in "Watership Down." But I don't mind so much the word itself. Especially the mental images evoked by the 58th definition of the word "down,"
down
–noun 1. Often, downs. (used esp. in southern England) open, rolling, upland country with fairly smooth slopes usually covered with grass.
Would you believe there are over 100 definitions of the word?

I do like your point about living in a place with "Ups" in the name though. LOL Were I to reside in Texas, I wouldn't mind living in a place called "Big Ups."
I too am encouraged by unexpectant niceties.
The fast will be a _perfect_ precursor to your new life. :)

You are not down with downing the masses with your elitist surroundings by living in a Downs locale? What a downer!?!?
