  christmas lights remind me, that we're closing in on the second anniversary of our disassociation.. two years ago, around this time, "gifts in men" from our old congregation paid us a visit regarding our christmas display.

  we invited them in, ushering them slowly past our decorated tree, and seated them at our dining room table.

  they said that it had come to their attention that we appeared to be celbrating christmas..."indeed we are," i saiid, "as we have for the last four years.

  driving home after a long bike ride last sunday, i turned onto my street, just a couple of blocks from my home.

  clad only in lycra bike shorts and jersey, i had my window down, my shades on, and a nice endorphin buzz from a great outing.

  without warning, a large, dense, golf ball sized pine cone from one of our towering neighborhood evergreens careened through my window like a meteor, and nailed me right on my left testicle.

  i spent father's day weekend in the foothills of washington's cascade mountains, a couple of hours north of my home in edmonds.

  The Minds of Billy Milligan

  "the minds of billy milligan" was written by daniel keyes, who may be better known for his work, "flowers for algernon.".

  a few of the remarks made in recent threads regarding "enlightenment" and "spiritual awakening" made me recall the book, although it's been roughly 20 years since i've read it.

  i can still remember the day i bought it, at my favorite half price books on guadalupe, in austin, tx.. unlike "flowers for algernon", tmbm is non-fiction.
