Dame Dreary Day...

Dame Dreary Day…

It is a dreary, rainy day here at Totem Hall, which means that really I have nothing better to do than to roll up my sleeves and tackles loads upon loads of paperwork.

There is the coffee...

There is the coffee…

I find it so strange how much paper gets pushed about in this electronic age of ours.  For some reason, I remember promises made by the powers to be that things would be different.  No matter, invoices must be sorted, taxes filed, forms filled, balances balanced.

Paper scattered...

Paper scattered…

Paper not scattered...

Paper not scattered…

Of course, when all this shuffling and filing and crumpling get to be too much, I can always tuck in for a nice winter’s nap.

Hmmm...

Recent Background Noise

Perhaps my ennui stems from David Bowie's death. I read somewhere that we should consider ourselves lucky to have lived at the same time he did. I do. Many years ago, there was a girl in my secondary school, Debbie P., who was very hip, very groovy, and very pretty. Now I attended Catholic schools and so, as you might imagine, we had to wear uniforms, except, of course, for after-school activity, and that's where I get to the point of the story. Our school was putting on its big play of the year, I had a small part, Debbie was working backstage. One evening during rehearsal she showed up wearing a Ziggy Stardust tee-shirt. I was young, naive, not hip, not groovy, and not knowing who the ambiguous Ziggy might be. During the weekend that followed that rehearsal, I went to a record store and discovered just what David Bowie was all about. It was a transforming experience. Now some forty years later, I farm, David is dead, and Debbie is into Christian rock bands. Did I say ennui...
