And don’t pet the sweaty things.      -Mike Carlson Next to me is sitting a “Chronic Movie Forgetter” who has just informed me of that title. I’ve written about her before, under aliases such as “Rae,” “My Angel,” “My girlfriend,” etc… I have to say that being here in close proximity with her… even when I’m […]

Yeah, I know, I know… it’s been a while. But I have excuses. Here they are, listed chronologically for your viewing pleasure: The suprise! Everything I’ve wanted to write about lately would have ruined the suprise! I’ll say a little more about that later. I was on an airplane I am in Michigan with limited […]

It started on December 7th, at 9:10am, as he kissed his fingers and placed them affectionately on the glass that separated him from her. Then she was gone. He walked around in the airport, staring hopefully at the “Departures” screen. On Time. The flight was not delayed, and she really got on it, and she […]

So Rachel is spending a day in Colorado on her way back home from California. That’s exciting! What was really cool was that since she was delayed out of Detroit, she ended up with a 5 hour Layover in Denver, so we got to hang out for a little while. It was definitely worth the […]

This is filed under “Rachel” and as such, many of you may not find it entertaining or appetizing. If you fall into that category… deal with it. I’m sitting in front of my computer, 30 minutes after she left a message on my cell phone that she was going to bed and if I was […]

Also posted in My Poetry Standing still, looking all around, I could see for miles, but still I say: All I wanted was standing next to me, Holding my hand where the clouds play. Freezing cold, but warm inside, Midnight temperatures in the light of day, Holding on tightly to what I need, In her […]

Well, yesterday was bittersweet… except with a little more bitter than sweet. It was great up until about 10:45am, when I let go of Rae’s hand as she headed beyond where I was allowed to go… the security checkpoint. I miss the days of being allowed down to the gate to see off a friend, […]

The current time on the official countdown is 11 hours and 27 minutes… and I am pumped! This is sure to be a weekend to remember. While I’m on the subject of Rachel coming out here (For those who were wondering, Rachel and Rae are the same person (somebody asked)), I’d like to say a […]

This Thursday, the sunrise is coming at night… and She’s taking a plane! That’s right, my Rae of sunshine is coming to Colorado springs on Thursday night! If any of you in Michigan read this before she gets a chance to tell you… It’s really not a secret… just very spontaneous. So here we go… […]

The life of the Stevish trudges along on its merry way. Any attempts to stop it or slow it down always prove to be futile. Work continues to own most of my life. I’m working probably 65-70 hours per week at both jobs combined. I’m hoping to cut that back a little, but until then, […]
