new day, dawning, blue skies and bitter bitter cold. left with, resulting from, a blank slate. tabula rasa. and what next? will the current sunshine continue? are dark days ahead? if charted, do moods follow expectations, or is another surprise awaiting, an unknown reef, something to run aground, or maybe just an accident one too many martinis away? it's the micro look at the macro life, not knowing what's around the corner, even through trends look good, and you might say basement dwellers, with incredible upside. but there's always the chance of a sewer system breaking down, the septic tank overflowing, cracks in the foundation, or, just maybe, if i could be so lucky, good things in my future. and so we'll see.
