101 Things I have not yet gotten around to...
10 Major Great Loves of my life...

Well Happy Birthday, Captain! The Big 4-0 !
If I recall correctly, you are a July baby...

14600 spins divided by 365 spins/days = 40 years.

Yes, still astutely observant. Glad to see one of us still dancing...I'll get back to it.
Just graduated 21-mo. program, I am starting my Massage Therapy career all over again.
Licensed by the State of MA just yesterday at long last.
(Gee whiz, I miss California!)


And now, a present for you (My favorite poem)
because you are the Lengendary Captain Erotica, God of Erotic Love
Nothing personal, but I think you might like it), because your passion allows you to feel all things deeply. That was always conveyed by your writing. (How's the book going?) Well, Happy Trails, Captain!

"Night on the Island"
By Pablo Neruda

All night I have slept with you
next to the sea, on the island.
Wild and sweet you were between pleasure and sleep,
between fire and water.

Perhaps very late
our dreams joined
at the top or at the bottom,
Up above like branches moved by a common wind,
down below like red roots that touch.

Perhaps your dream
drifted from mine
and through the dark sea
was seeking me
as before,
when you did not yet exist,
when without sighting you
I sailed by your side,
and your eyes sought
what now--
bread, wine, love, and anger--
I heap upon you
because you are the cup
that was waiting for the gifts of my life.

I have slept with you
all night long while
the dark earth spins
with the living and the dead,
and on waking suddenly
in the midst of the shadow
my arm encircled your waist.

Neither night nor sleep
could separate us.

I have slept with you
and on waking, your mouth,
come from your dream,
gave me the taste of earth,
of sea water, of seaweed,
of the depths of your life,
and I received your kiss
moistened by the dawn
as if it came to me
from the sea that surrounds us.

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay forever young.
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the light surrounding you.
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay forever young.
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay forever young.
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
