I need to get back to reading again.
I took my camera along on today's walk. (That was fun.) (I told Carrie I would shoot some pictures capturing the seasons and send them to her, since there is only one season where she is at now.)
Carrie says she has started to feel at home there and has made lots of friends. (She plans to stay there for awhile.)
She also says that, with women my age, I will have to be a lot of fun. (She says they have seen enough grief, and are even more interested in finding fun men than younger women are.)
I am just not up to making first moves, sexually. (Hell, I can't even do it with dancing, dates, .…)
My sister called and talked for an hour. (She says it's strange living alone, but she has starting to enjoy it.) (She already has two fellows chasing her.) (She is working full time and going to school at nite.) (She is almost 35 and she is feeling that her biological clock is running out. (She says she would like to have a kid, but that feels she has to get to where she can raise it on her own if she has to. (She says she has seen too many women end up divorced, unskilled, and really hurting because of kids.)))
I need to get back into reading again.
One of Carrie's comments about "Outlaws and poets" is that I need to work on character development. (True.) (But, in some cases, I don’t think it’s necessary. (There are characters that show up for just a line or two, and that is how they show up sometimes, out on the streets. (There are a lot of people who have had an impact on my life, who showed up out of nowhere, touched my life, and then disappeared forever.)))

(2am) Quiet nite.
My sister suggested that the reason I have problems with women might be something they see or don't see in my eyes. (Probably true.)
