NedRaggett

Ned can turn into a cartoon at will. I want to learn how to do that. :)

After being on his “people I want to meet” list for something like 7 months, and having our major form of communication (myspace email) cut off during the day while he’s attached at the hip to a computer at the library and I’m at work slaving away massaging mortgage data, I guess that he finally decided that I’m not all that scary of a person as he initially thought and he asked me out for coffee. Well, I drink tea – “that’s fine”, he said and suggested that we go to The Gypsy Den so gave him my cell phone number. Then life happened. He had a cold, then he traveled twice or more. We just could never catch eachother at a good time. So finally last Sunday (3/18/07) was a good time. We met at the Gypsy Den at 8PM. I was on time and he came with a book, as if I would be tardy or not show at all. Hrmm. Anyway, he was quite smiley and nervous, talking a mile a minute stringing together stores of travel, people, and experiences that he had went through. I’m a good listener, so I just did my thing and let him talk… alot. Finally, after about 30 minutes of this frantic verbal pace, he let out a little sigh and we discussed things at a slower cadence like living in California, my son, his job and my boring job. I think I almost saw his eyes roll up into the back of his head as I explained my former job which is even more dry and baffling than my current one. That’s o.k., discussing finance is not for everyone. So in a nutshell, the tea as good, the place suited the meeting and now I can’t say I’ve never met Ned in person anymore. He’s an interesting person, indeed.

I assume this is Molly. I have to. ;-)

Why, she sent me a very friendly question the other day and appears to have much spirit and good sense to go with the dreams. And that is enough. :-)

Good grief I had always forgotten how busy the start of the school year is—and how tired it makes me feel! ;-) I will be posting more regularly on the site here in a bit when things finally calm down some (but please, do always drop me a message!)

It would be nice not to be sick…but I am. sneeze Typical common cold bleahness, but if nothing else I will happily not go to work tomorrow…

he rocks the south park avatar and he wants to learn the cookin’ ways of ethiopian cuisine … what’s not to like?
{{ and so much more! }}

Clearly an intelligent person to embrace a combination of humor and darkness. The only way to live as far as I’m concerned…

Back from Carmel, been catching up with work, yipes! More coherent thoughts and active cheering soon. ;-)
