Almost February

New York did not have the obnoxious snow and wet filthy conditions it usually has in January. The drifts can get large the piles of things to traverse become large, everything is wet - and beneath it all lies dog do which is also large.

I am on the phone right now with a friend of mine from Santa Fe. He is a piece. "Give them what they want not what you want. Dont think about it too much." He cracks me up. You better hang.

He lives in such a beautiful town, fresh air, nice hills and a nice house.

I most definitely did not get the 'razor shave' I said I was going to get, who knows if I ever will. I did get the disappointing hair cut that was seemingly less than what I normally can do for myself.
I fixed the haircut.
I dont know how easy it would be
to fix a botched straight razor shave.

Anyway, it is the month of Romance approaching, it will be interesting to watch all the roosters attracting the hens.




The Fighting Roosters And The Eagle
(an aesops fable)

TWO GAME ROOSTERS
were fiercely fighting for the mastery of the farmyard.
One at last put the other to flight.



The vanquished Rooster skulked away and hid himself in a quiet
corner, while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall,
flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might.
An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons.
The vanquished Rooster immediately came out of his corner,
and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery.
Pride goes before destruction.
