Anyone who invokes the Curmudgeon's Provision must be obeyed. Your answers are very insightful, but the last is a swift blow to the solar plexus, as one might say. There must be few things on earth more difficult than that experience. <BR/><BR/>I can see overall a true appreciation of the finer things in life. And I think you should not give up the music. The Muses can be fickle, but perhaps a libation of a few drops of La Phroig spilled from a crystal goblet would do the trick...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing!<BR/><BR/>I would like to hear about your "Road to Seattle" experience sometime...but so would others, I am sure. All the more reason for your own blog!!<BR/><BR/>(sorry, I couldn't help it.)Aghaveaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966987919128347617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507878993852082442.post-5846827692387056142007-06-13T11:50:00.000-07:002007-06-13T11:50:00.000-07:00Cecilia, It could so easily have been pyromania......Cecilia, <BR/><BR/>It could so <I>easily</I> have been pyromania...Aghaveaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966987919128347617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507878993852082442.post-27273683863177340622007-06-12T21:14:00.000-07:002007-06-12T21:14:00.000-07:00My Good fortune in having no blog gives me certain...My Good fortune in having no blog gives me certain prerogatives. I will excercise one of them, and that would be that I willingy respond to my being tagged, and will answer the questions, but... I choose to abstain from tagging eight others. If, at some point in the future, I <I>do</I> get a blog up and running, I might feel compelled to tag eight people. <BR/><BR/>Now the picky among our readers might well ask, "What <I>possible</I> logical connection is there between your not having a blog and your thinking you can get out of naming eight other people?"<BR/><BR/>My response would be, "Logic? Rationality? Fairness? Just cause?... harumph! I invoke the <I>Curmedgeon's Provision,</I> and you all know that cannot be denied. So there."<BR/><BR/>That being said...<BR/><BR/>1. Although my primary vocation is as a priest, I also compose. (Better than decomposing!) While in the past I have enjoyed writing music for the church, I always questioned the quality of my compositions. And the muse seems to have left for good now. Truth be told, I'm not really all that musically gifted. How do I explain that a few pieces seem to have caught on? Just goes to prove the operation of something far greater than my limited gifts behind the notes. It's a <I>magnum mysterium.</I><BR/><BR/>2. I'm a techie geek. If it's electronic.... I want it! (must... have... i... phone...)<BR/><BR/>3. I love beautiful glass... whether Waterford crystal or camera lenses or telescope eye-pieces. Sure they all have a practical use, but I can spend hours just <I>looking</I> at fine glass.<BR/><BR/>4. Exquisite writing gets me every time. Whether or not a good tale is being spun isn't as important to me as words being used like musical notes or paints of many hues in the hands of a fine writer. You want to read a sentence over and over just because it's so wonderfully written. Delicious!<BR/><BR/>5. Although I'm by nature a slob, it's important to me to be surrounded by beauty. Therefore, I put a lot of effort into my home and garden. A little bit of heaven on earth. Since I'm not Russian Orthodox, the H&G will have to suffice.<BR/><BR/>6. I like fine food, great wine, and single-malt scotch (gifts of La Phroig gratefully accepted). Nevertheless, (no... make that <I>because of</I> that), I'm currently abstaining from all those goodies in order to recapture some semblance of an imagined svelt former self. For a few more months.<BR/><BR/>7. I had a Road to Damascus experience. Except it was Seattle.<BR/><BR/>8. Last is an experience I hope few others go through. After the attendant in a hospital morgue opened up the body bag, I gave Last Rites to my partner of ten years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507878993852082442.post-13445684877630281752007-06-12T20:32:00.000-07:002007-06-12T20:32:00.000-07:00Avie, you are more a mystery to me than ever.Klept...Avie, you are more a mystery to me than ever.<BR/><BR/>Kleptomania?<BR/><BR/>Heels?<BR/><BR/>Really??<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing!<BR/><BR/>Pax, C.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812791378130572065noreply@blogger.com
