[...] Apparently, that murky, fallow period I was bemoaning only weeks ago has passed, because I’m now neck-deep in corn, rushing madly about the fields trying to harvest the fucking stuff. [...]

[...] What about the collection of aches and pains that consume my body? How old am I? Old enough to kick my father’s butt? Am I ready to accept my rheumatic disorders? Or more? Where do I draw the line? On my birthday? When I die? Does death end my life, and me? [...]

Your post made me see again that for me this is about me. And that's because for me it is a question of who is me. I say I but this I is not me which is because it is me who says I. It's a word, a picture, a concept, an idea, whatever. It could even be me. In any case, it comes down to me about me. Thanks!

Great blog, dude. I’m always pulling myself out of that well. I got the duffel bag of all family ailments: High Cholesteral (spelling?), High Blood Pressure, Genetic Ulcers, Essential Tremor (that’s the worst!). Most days I just live it, love life, don’t get introspective at all — but once in awhile ,when I’m swallowing my 10 pill a morning breakfast, I get kicked back down into that the well. Thanks for the inspiration. You’re awesome.

And now, I must go make myself an omelette and rasher of bacon. I have some weight to put back on…

Really great post, Colleen. Thanks for the reminder, and I hope you’re feeling better!

Also, I don’t ever want to have the image of Neil lowering a basket down to anyone in a well, because of course, all I can think of is Silence of the Lambs.

Great thoughts here — for everyone.

And if you do fall down a well, I promise not to lower down a basket with a DVD player and a copy of Basic Instinct 2.
