the blow stops here
There are some guys who can return good for evil...Every brave man will think so. He will not want to live by passing on the wrath. A hit B? B hit C? -- we have not enough alphabet to cover the condition. A brave man will try to make the evil stop with him. He shall keep the blow. No man shall get it from him and that is a sublime ambition.

makeout not war
"A personality without a center throws up a wall and lives in a state of siege." - Tennessee Williams, "One Arm"
you have a center.
everybody has a center.
it's easy to lose sight of it, but it's always there and you can close your eyes and be there in a second.
there the siege is over.
there the voice is rational and full of love and the voice is your own.
'the centering book' tells you to close your eyes and focus on a spot an inch or two below your belly button. send light there. send warmth there. it's yours.

nacho vs. the guest pillows
could he possibly get more fur onto every single pillow?
no.
at least he's comfy.
he had a traumatic experience with a dental cleaning recently, but things are looking up. i don't want to stir up trouble, but i'm interested in hearing from other people in asheville who have had awful experiences with getting their pets' teeth cleaned. maybe we were the only ones?

speaking of nekkid basketball
i've said before the local commercials around here are weird, but this is the latest weirdest.
it's a personal injury law firm. two older male lawyers dressed in business suits are on a high school basketball court.
with a girl in a half shirt and tiny mini skirt.
inexplicable.
who is she? why is she there? is she a lawyer too? secretary? just a woman for hire? how is this related? or relevant? in any way?
sex sells. but does it sell lawyers? makes them seem lecherous and sleazy and distracted to me.

february in chapel hill
red bud trees are already blooming. it was in the 60's and sunny
pasty legs were bared at the beautiful new baseball stadium.
we went to chapel hill for the unc vs. clemson basketball game. my brother gave us tickets for christmas. he said the seats were right behind the bench, and i knew they would be good, but i really had no idea how good.
turns out row b really does mean row b. as in row 2. as in there's the players' bench, a row of chairs for the jv team, row a and then row b. we were SO CLOSE.
close enough to hear the ref bark at leslie mcdonald 'find your seat' when he was dancing at tip-off.
close enough to hear roy williams scream at the bench after a turnover "THAT WAS CARELESS AND CASUAL!" i plan to use this phrase in anger for the rest of my life.
the black falcon made this shot, the heels won, played well, i didn't get any good pictures, other than the ones in my head, and those i will treasure always.
we followed the crowd out and somehow ended up in a room with balloons and punch bowls overflowing with brownies. score!
after the game we met up with old friends and new friends for too many drinks and dinner on franklin street. not much has changed at all in 10 years. it was glorious.
this is a damn shame and some more alcoholic readers may want to avert their eyes - but in classic bob-fashion, he ordered another round of drinks when nobody had finished their first ones, and then promptly left to avoid babysitter-fury when they realized the time. the extra drinks spell "bob."
