I'm Early

Some morning's I feel like I'm falling apart.

• the eyes are wonky and one of 'em keeps threatening to crap out completely.
• that damn Jupiter sized tumor squatting in my brain seems to throw off more annoying symptoms on the regular.

AND

• no matter how little I eat or how faithful I am in my gym attendance, I can't loose weight...DAMMIT!

Then I remember:

• I live in Valhalla where the sunrises are so stunningly beautiful they inspire vampires to risk sunburn by staying up late for a quick peek.
• Ten. What can I say besides, I'm SO fucking lucky!
• Jen. Same, same.
• Coco – the world's sweetest cat.

AND

• my pit crew at MGH and MEEI are amazing.

Just think, if that dart I hurled, post carnival days, hadn't landed in Boston, I wouldn't have had my cousin Carmel nagging me to get checked for the family curse. I may never have known until it was too late.

If the dart had docked in Dubuque I wouldn't have had The Amazing Bob in my life for 30 awesome years. For that matter I wouldn't have met Ten OR Jen!

I'd send the dart a thank you note if I could. Thanksgiving seems to have come early this year.

You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help.
