Seems as though I will be learning new initals for some time to come. Here's another "becareful what you wish for..." scenerio. Today marked my husbands 1st full day of training for Corrections Officer for the county prison. It marks a huge step on his part to continue to expand his world and his experiences. Poor bastard is married to me and I am never just content to be. If I see potential I try to Love it into being for that other person and myself. I could be a lot more loving with myself, I suppose but I digress. I really wasn't sure where this would lead us but its a ballsy move at age 45. Movement is ballsy at any age, really. The irony is the law enforcement bit. I did my share of police certification in my day and like all professions it attracts a quirky lot. For the most part I like them as a group. They gravitate toward law enforcement like shrinks do...to find something out about themselves, others; to work out personal shit or just collect a paycheck. Something about working with people though, you always get more back than you think you give.always. Kudos to everyone who takes risks.

Cormac McCarthy's " The Road" is one of the best books I have read since "Love in the TIme of Cholera" and for polar opposite reasons. "The Road" is spartan in words but lean and tense in its description of a father and son in a post-apocolyptic world. Mighty gloom and doom in a narrative voice so unique I hope to savor it for some time to come. Luckily, he is well published so there is alot to catch up on. "No country for old men" is also his. Should I see the movie or read the book first...hmmm...?
