...................................................................ignition
at night
when the streets are wet with rain
I climb into my car and drive
leaving my cares behind
the city is shiny and new
and whisper quiet
like it has never seen pain
silently rolling
watching the world pass by
and all things seem possible
even for me...

One more load to go...
Only one more load to pick up at my old place, pay for the divorce and it's all over baby...
(It's going to be a good year)

THE AIRPORT AT MIDNIGHT
THE AIRPORT AT MIDNIGHT
All the planes have landed
all the people have gone
back to their houses
their curtains are drawn
The Shops are closed
their gates are down
the walkways empty
no body around
The Airport is quiet
not a person in sight
only the Janitors are
up this late at night
The TV's are off
the music is low
if anything's happening
only Security'll know
The carpet is swept
the tile is shining
the Eateries are closed
there'll be no more dining
And here I sit
the earliest riser
six hours to departure
and none the wiser
The weather delayed me
my plane had flown
stuck in the Airport
I might have known
At A-Fifty-Five
I sit and wait
the first customer at
this particular gate
So I'm killing time
with my pen in hand
waiting to fly back
to my own land
St. Louis is calling
it's Detroit I'm leaving
a good night's sleep
is what I'm bereaving
So I've set the alarm
on my pocket phone
please do wake me
if it's ringing alone
So that's my plan
I'm sticking to it
listening for the announcement
I don't want to sleep through it
So if you see me
nodding there
please do wake me
from my slumbering chair
I'll be your buddy
I'll think you're real neat
for the St. Louis flight
I need to be on my feet
I appreciate the help
I appreciate the hand
to get me back to
my own land

I finally got my itinerary for my Sunday flight to NJ
I went by my old house today to pick up some things for my NJ trip and to grab my frog. Madie stood at the top of the stairs and smiled at me and giggled. I am going to miss her. It is hard for me to go over there, it breaks my heart.
I fly out of Lambert Sunday evening, and get into NJ at 10pm and then turn around and have 8 hrs worth of interviews starting at 9am...YIKES! Tomorrow I'm doing a little secret shopping of the stores in STL, so I can speak intelligently about the District's issues on Monday...
I'll be home Monday evening around Midnight...
They are spending close to $800 bucks to ship me out there, I will knock their socks off...

Not going down to AL
I don't feel up to driving all the way down to AL. I called my folks and told them I wasn't coming. My heart isn't in it.

the damn site counter reset itself...
I noticed the other day that the site counter on my Journal had reset itself. I was up to over 1200 visits and <WHAMMY>, back to zero. And another thing, this damn Journal sets all the fonts to black when it archives them, MY BACKGROUND IS BLACK!
...fu<k!^g $+up!> AOL.
going on a mini vacation to see my family
It looks like I will be driving down to see my family. My cousin is getting married and everyone will be there. I didn't send in my RSVP thingee (I didn't think I could go), so I can't attend the actual wedding (it's aboard a cruise ship) but I will be able to see my folks and my brother, and everyone else. I might be driving my Grandmother down, it depends. LOL, there is a joke there that I am leaving alone... My interview is the week starting June 12th. I am due some good news...LOL.
See ya later...
