Launch

And so it begins. (Bonus point for anyone who can identify the movie reference. Hint: It was said by a cross-dressing dwarf...)

Not sure what this blog will evolve into -- no one ever is, I suspect. I anticipate random, infrequent and innane. But maybe we'll rise above.

I lived in a cloud today. A gray mist envelope that never opened. I stayed at my desk, the door to This Land open, and watched autumn extinguish summer like a wet wool blanket on a dying fire.

I swear, I couldn't script a better life.

I blame Dave.

Steve said...

Seems reasonable. He is still the new guy, right?

Sonnjea said...

(For the blogging, I mean, not the rest of it. Certainly not the dwarf. Can't blame him for THAT).

Steve said...

But don't dwarfs have big heads too?

Sonnjea said...

Well, you are off to a very rude start!

Wow! In one post you managed to offend my husband numerous times! I do blame Dave for the blogging thing though. I didn't do any posting for months, but once you start it is a pretty easy way to stay in touch with people. Even if they talk about the size of your husband's head! And just think of all of the pictures of motorcylce parts you could post.... - S

Oh sure it's all my fault. The big head speaks and you all just follow. blah blah blah.

P.S.
See you in the World Series.

Steve said...

at least both our teams actually appeared to want to get in the playoffs. Can't say the same for everybody.

And yeah, as you figured out by now, the three of us all share a brain. You bet we follow a good suggestion!

Diane says that putting out a fire with a wet wool blanket would stink. Still, I guess it's better than throwing a wet sheep on a fire

Sonnjea said...

the sheep certainly think so.

Although if they DID have fire-extinguishing properties, can you imagine the sheep-dropping helicopters?

Right, I have to get up VERY early these days. Apparently, my brain doesn't come along with the rest of me...

Next Stop Oregon said...

It's killing me. Are you ever going to say what movie that quote was from??? I don't remember any cross-dressing dwarfs...

Steve said...

The quote is from "The Year of Living Dangerously." Cameraman Billy Kwan said it. Billy Kwan was played by Linda Hunt, the only person (I think) to win an Oscar playing a character of the opposite sex. The blog title, of course, is a reference to Firefly, which came to the big screen as Serenity.
