33. I take comfort in knowing I'm not alone.

We all have our little issues and struggles here in the Bonus Round. And it helps to feel the Love that still beats in so many Hearts.
In all the bad decisions and mis-cues in my Seventy-Five trips around the sun, meeting my Zaharula (The Gypsy Girl) is by far the best thing to happen to an undeserving young punk. The first Kiss every morning is the start of the Day, and that is the best reason to make it last. I cling to that.
We saw Jack Gallagher at our B St. Theatre here in Sacramento on Sunday as he presented his “Irish Goodbye” as his farewell to the city he has called home for nearly forty years and returning to his roots in Cape Cod. I was in tears for much of his show, and here I am again today feeling Philosophical. I wish you all a Great Life, and a Gentle Moment when it comes, bathed in Love.
I was a lurker here at DU for twenty-plus years and finally signed in, though not yet a Star Member as I’m a “Retired to Penury” kind of guy.
Wishing you all well, Peggy, Lucky, and KC and all the rest of you. Thanks to you all for being here day after day.
Love ‘em if ya got ‘em. Stay with it.
