Notes - The Wedding and other Considerations

You and Carol awoke in time to see the royal wedding and stuck with it through two kisses and the fly over.

         I do love the pageantry as it is not often on display. The wedding was an existential moment with all the British theatre in place and on parade. “Long live the Queen”, that I say with open heart.

         You are at Kroger’s on King Mills Road near King’s Island amusement park and what used to the Jack Nickolas Golf Course and the present Lindner Tennis Center, all incorporated into the City of Mason these days. You and Carol have been up to the Warren County Democratic Headquarters to petition against the Ohio Republican passed Senate Bill Five. You and others want it on the ballot a year from now. Earlier you spent the morning reading the “Shakespeare” book and are now at the point where Edward DeVere’s wife Anne died unexpectedly at the age of thirty-three.

         Groceries home and now you are at Pine Hill Park waiting for Carol as you completed your much shorter walk with pains in left leg and hip (4-5) rather than the last walk a day or so ago where the arthritic pains were in the right hip and right knee (5 out of 10) instead. You like to measure things so we can measure that instead of heartansoulanmind. Your usual pains are a 3 particularly in the AM and when really bad 7 to 8. A ten, the first was when you were nineteen or so and having an abscessed tooth pulled by Dr. Thomas Pringle, Bob “the Poet” father. You moved causing the half out tooth to fall back into place and you raised yourself up out of the chair and fainted back down into it.

         Never have I felt such an intense sharp pain before or since.

         Papa John’s pizza for supper, last night’s “Bones” and “CSI” and tonight’s BBC News (which focused mostly on the wedding).

         It has been a good day, one of hope as far as the British Isle’s is concerned. People need hope even if it is some distance away.

         Hope, like prayer, is built into the species, boy. Sometimes they are one in the same. So much for putting such matters to measurement.  Post. – Amorella.
