I know why
the rum is all gone.
Well,
technically
I don’t. Since
there was never any rum to begin with,
it can’t be all
gone.
But I wonder
why clothes are pouring out of the hamper.
And I wonder
why the sink is full of dishes.
Again.
A cooperative poem

Friday Prince. Today Ireland.
Friday purple.Today green.
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising of Irish men and women against the occupation and oppression of England. More civilians were killed during the rising than were combatants on both sides. Guerrilla warfare followed that resulted in England leaving Ireland. The agreement to end that war partitioned the country: 26 counties became the Irish Free State; 6 counties in the north remained part of the United Kingdom. Civil war ensued but did not change that configuration. The Troubles convulsed Northern Ireland; progress has been made toward peace, the journey is not complete.
In remembrance and prayer, green was today’s color.
Note April 24 also marks the day the Armenian genocide began in 2015.
See you along the Trail.

I had fallen away from my exercise routine. After a stretch where I worked out daily, I probably logged five workouts in the last month. I put out an alert to my friends and support network. They responded. Some offered encouragement. Some shared expressions of concern. Some even used the “l” word. And some figuratively kicked my butt.
Joann Haejong Lee essentially said, “Get thee to the gymery and attend the Prince’s songs as thou moveth.”
Maybe her message was a tad more direct and a lot less faux Shakespeare. But I got her point.
And to the gym I went. And with a Prince playlist there seemed only one shirt and bandanna choice.
See you along the Trail (and hopefully in the gym).
