Notes - Trivia / Frozen Thought

        Mid-morning. Housekeeping chores, breakfast and the paper, chores. In the Enquirer there was an article on George Clooney and his family visiting the Blue Wisp jazz club last night and you wonder if he has stopped out Mason way to see how things have changed since he lived here as a child. He is in Cincinnati directing and starring in a movie for the next month.

         It is silly to think on such things, Amorella, -- perhaps a chance to see George somewhere about. It would be fun though. Why is it we are attracted to those with fame or a sense of history? I remember when I took Kim, who was about ten, up to the Lebanon Countryside Y to meet Neil Armstrong. She wanted to go to Space Camp at the time so it seemed like the right thing to do. He even autographed a napkin for her. Now we have no idea where she put it. We were both original members of the Countryside Y. I liked Armstrong because he has an engineer’s mind. I don’t remember thinking of him as famous though, not like George is famous. This is very weird to think about – the differences in fame. I wonder if others also feel this way? George creates an energy, i.e. ‘it would be fun’. Armstrong created an energy too, i.e. ‘it will be interesting to meet this man in person.’ Not the same energy. He moved from Warren County to Indian Hill, to be closer to the University of Cincinnati I suppose. We don’t belong to the Y(MCA) anymore.

         Don’t erase the above as trivia. The human mind is full of it. Post. – Amorella. 

        Egypt had its so far successful rebellion, reminds me of the wall and even the Russian revolution also a few years back. It helps to have the military on the side of the people and the people not to be divided so as to promote civil war. Perhaps a sign of civilization, that and the power of the cell phone in hand. Amazing.

         As the sky is sunny, you took a drive towards Lebanon this afternoon; on the way you and Carol saw two flocks of wild turkeys in two different fields, each had about twenty turkeys. It is only the second time you both have seen turkeys in the wild. The first time, in December, you only saw one.

         Going on twenty-two hundred hours and you are at Kroger’s on Tylersville after an early night of copied weekly TV shows. Coming over you have been thinking about how it would be in the front subway car as you are driving. Speeds, thirty-five, forty-five and fifty miles per hour in town. In doing so it appears you are actually driving pretty fast, or would be running a subway train.

         Tunnel speeds. Somehow I am connecting with them. I assume it is at a subconscious or unconscious level. I keep thinking of the taxi driver in Florence taking us to the airport – forty, forty-five, fifty-five kilometers per hour in town. Maybe even sixty. Very fast in town even early in the morning. Relativity of speed in a tunnel. In the Underground one is really moving at those speeds.

         Rich G. sent you photos of water on the Great Lakes freezing instantly this Winter. Put one in here to demonstrate. I say this because when you saw them you immediately thought, “frozen light”.

Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing! 

The water froze the instant the wave broke through the 
ice.  That's what it is like in Lake Michigan where it is the 
coldest weather in decades.  Water freezes the instant 
it comes in contact with the air.  The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.  Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!

         What does this have to do with the books? Thoughts freeze too, boy. You freeze them as they are, not me. This is what I have to deal with in communicating to your fingertips, not through you. No mediums in here, boy, just me. Just enough, I assure you, a very, very tiny amount of what you call Presence. An echo of that dancing moment, boy. See how distorted these waves are. This is the best you can do, and you’ll have to live with it. Think this out and we can put it to use. Post, boy, and get a good night’s sleep. – Amorella. 


           I better understand the words, "Lost in Translation". My thoughts are frozen in the moment. All I can hope for is to gain some imaginative understanding from them. If not alien, at least they might be considered "outside the box". That should be enough to continue to stimulate my thinking toward the Merlyn series. At least that is the intent as I see it. - rho
