The Good, Better + Best News From The Courthouse

THE SUPREME COURT

OF THE ELEPHANTINE EGO

has given me both its location
&
the freedom to 
"resume my blogoholic ways"
if and only if 
there is a total absence
of comments
 
The judicial review board 
has been delayed
due to 
Post-Suberbowl
Media obligations
BUT
there will be 
no media coverage
of my trial

HER Last Words To Me = Lo Siento


____________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Cat E. Clism's 
last words to me
were in Spanish:
 Lo Siento
 
Translated to English = "I'm Sorry"
but it sounded like
"You are my hot toddy"
 
All correspondence from her
was texted
  

Then I received a summons from... 

THE SUPREME COURT

OF THE ELEPHANTINE EGO

__________________________ 

 It looked very official

and it demanded I go

Blog-free until that time

PRELUDE TO A WEDDING PORTRAIT
 
Do you miss them at all?
 
Impossible to do so,
answered Paul
 
From a lack of love?
 
The exact opposite:
They are in 
every breathe I breathe.
It's like they never did leave
 
Anything more you want to say?
 
Yes:
