April is the ______- est month! (Apologies To Gene Rayburn)
Last night I revisited virtual and mental locations I’d been avoiding.
April is the birthday of my brother Glenn.
It is also the month in which my daughter will be born.
And uhm its 25 degrees today.
And uhm it was 60 degrees last week.
And uhm its not winter.
and uhm its almost summer.
So now that its April I notice all the stuff that was snowbound and buried.
The yard is covered with sticks and stuff that fell before the storms and froze.
I visited my fathers grave and my brothers grave.
And uhm they look good.
And uhm the decorations survived the winter.
And uhm someone left a figurine on the headstone.
And uhm the ground is too wet to kneel.
So I’m in between office spaces too. I’m remodeling my cellar and building an office and man cave but in the meantime my old office is now a nursery. So I have all this stuff in boxes. So I had to go through all this stuff and decide to keep it or chuck it. But its virtual now and some of the “space” I’m clearing is hard drive space. Keep it? Back it up to disc? Delete it? Those are my options. In the process of this I found some old videos of my brother in an iMovie project called “Glenn’s First Night.” It was his first gig with a “christian” band called -Forgiven-. I usually avoid christian stuff but THIS gig I went to. It was at a coffee house. I remember feeling really skeeved by the joint. All the people looked like Jim Jones Guyana people. I certainly did not drink anything from the snack bar. But the people were nice. And the owner was nice. And the band played and then my brother spoke. He had been speaking at AA meetings for a while so he was quite comfortable with the idea of public speaking. But tonite I was there and the audience were not understanding drug addicts. They were god addicts. Some of them in denial. Some of them in full acceptance. Some of the audience, like myself, were former god addicts…ya know… in recovery. But anyway it was surreal and it sticks in my mind and for some reason I want to share this with the world. So I updated my brothers web site GlennMorello.Com And I also posted a you tube clip of the night. Want to see it? View it below. Feel free to watch it.
And uhm feel free to share it.
And uhm thanks for reading this far.
And uhm in your comments feel free to pretend you are T.S. Eliot for a few seconds and fill in the blank of subject line.
