After noon. This morning you drove to Otterbein Retirement Village off St.
Rt. 741 near Lebanon to see where the funeral will be for Vic Feinhaur, Ann's
husband. Ann was one of Carol's fellow teachers at the old Blue Ash Elementary
School in Blue Ash. Tomorrow, One of Carol's other retired Blue Ash teacher
friends, Marita, will join you for the
drive up. On the way home you discovered
the Honda was using too much fuel so you stopped and had the air in the tires
checked. All four tires were down. You figure you were getting about twelve
miles to the gallon for these first forty-six miles since the fill up.
Normally, you get about twenty in this extremely cold weather pattern. -

1311 hours. My watch says it's
ten degrees presently.
Later, dude. - Amorella
You had lunch at Longhorn with Jenn as
your long time waitress. You are feeling extra good about it because while
Carol left a seven dollar tip you secretly got away with adding another three
just because you haven't seen her in a while and she is special. When she
brought the take home box for Carol she chatted for a bit then as she left she
gave you a touch on the right forearm as a 'thank you'. - Amorella
1535 hours. I was afraid she
might say something, but then I remembered I had to stuff the other three in
the folder. No doubt she realized what I had done and didn't say anything out
of the ordinary. I realize three dollars extra was uncalled for from Carol's
perspective but heck, it is New Year's time. We will both miss her when we
move. She has our choices down pat and delivers our drinks when she takes our
order. Plus, she is always cheery with a real smile. Once I saw her at Chipotle
and she said 'hi' and gave me a quick friendly hug. We like her and we will
miss her. We always try to go to Longhorn's when she will be working. If she
had been in my class she is one of those boys or girls that I secretly adopted
as family in my heart. (1548)
You are home. How many do you remember secretly adopting? - Amorella
1647 hours. I have a terrible
time remembering individual names but in 37years, probably one every three
years, maybe two. Usually girls because they were more interested in
literature, that is whoever these people were they had a passion for literature
and reading, some also for writing. I'd say one every three years plus five
more at the end; that would be 17 or 18 students. A few were C students but
most were A or B. They had poetic or philosophical hearts, that's because they
are the individuals I related most to. As to family almost all I would have
adopted as nieces or nephews. I had two or three girls and two boys that I
would have adopted as sons and daughters. Most were not going to become English
majors or even minors in college though a few did. Some did become school teachers
or academics. Shoot, one, but not on the list for obvious reasons, is my real
daughter. That's how I grade my heartanmind on such things. (1701)
Why didn't you include your soul when it should be included in choice-making?
Amorella
1703 hours. Probably because I
think it is morally wrong to think about adopting a student and I am somewhat
embarrassed and ashamed to admit I cared so deeply about one student or
another. Keeping them as nephew or niece in my heart was being protective in
the secret relationship I held for such a very few, but to deny it with an
Angel present would be wrong. When I write about students on Facebook I always
say, "I love literature and loved my students". I had the best
possible job I could have in this world. I have been a very lucky individual to
have worked and not taken a dime if I could have afforded to." (1711) --
All this is rather embarrassing and actually private, if you will. It is
between me and me.
Speaking of Angels did I ever tell you what he thought of your little
theatre production in philosophical humanity? - Amorella
1715 hours. No. I wasn't
thinking about 'him' consciously anyway. There wasn't much there to 'review' as
it were. Each had her say, her part. I can't remember what was said now, but the
important thing was that heartansoulanmind agreed the soul was created and immortal
before Nature existed. I agreed with them which sounds about par for the
course. What did he think?
He thought you or your parts would not have changed a word if even an
Angel of G-D was in attendance. - Amorella
1724 hours. I would hope this
even if G-D, as such, did not exist. It is that important to me.
Indeed. So secret this is, and impassioned. And, yet you fail to note
this in consciousness. - Amorella
1727 hours. I really have a
hard time even comprehending what you say, Amorella. And, I think it is just as
well.
You watched the news and another full
episode of "The Crown". You have both been watching parts of Rachael Maddow
and Lawrence O’Donnell until now. Post. - Amorella
2253 hours. The 'news' about
Trump's tweet on how his red button is bigger than Kim's red button is on about
the boys will be boys level of six to ten year olds. Why Trump is allowed to
remain President is beyond the two of us. We would have both been better off
not listening to Rachael and Lawrence tonight.
