let me explain...there's this scrabble game called wordfeud and it's on my new phone. i would never have known that if it wasn't for frank (screen name - muggydoo) inviting me to play. he has one of those phones too. that was how it began...oh lord, do i really need a new addiction? on the one hand, it was like having buddhafrank in my pocket the whole time i was in florida...i felt the connection. he was right there with me...all i'd have to do is look down and see the little "w" which meant that he posted his word and it was my turn.
one night mitchell said he couldn't sleep because it was like moonlight shining in the room...i tried to put the phone under the covers, because it was my turn. i told him in no uncertain terms that i wasn't going to sleep until the game ended. but there was something i didn't know... something muggydoo knew... this was an ongoing type thing...like, for when there's nothing else going on. here i was, waiting impatiently while muggydoo was being frank, going about his business...at one point i actually used the phone to call him. i wanted to find out what the heck he was doing...i mean weren't we in the middle of a game...
i found myself looking for the "w" when i first woke up...and then during the fancy dinner with mitchell's family. irv, in his gentle way, mentioned that a lot of kids nowdays are texting at the dinner table...oops, okay, i put it away until we got home...but i admit, i was looking forward to getting home...
when we returned from vacation, i didn't call frank...i was waiting for muggydoo...but there was no "w" to be found...i didn't want to appear too desperate...so i waited till tonight to call him. it was awhile before we got around to talking about anything other than our wordfeud...eventually we found other stuff, (we tend to do that) but i admit, i was happy to get his "invitation" after the call...
i was half jokingly mentioning to mitchell that valentine's day is this coming monday, asking what he was planning for me...he said, "no it isn't monday, valentine's day is on wednesday" (we have a dinner date)...i was about to prove it was monday and pointed to the the perpetual art calendar on our dining room wall, and this is what i saw...
I love what Mitchell did with the V day-wednesday~~ calendar...I laughed out loud. Precious!
Today - being Saturday. And being Feb 12th. Is Mark Charles Waldheims' birthday....imagine that! He brought us special energy, laughs and sweetness with his music! We miss him, don't we wave...xo

Welcome home! Sounds like you had a great trip, I'm so glad. But ain't it nice always to get home to our kitties and our own beds? xo
