I feel that feeling, when things are getting close to an end. Time slips by so fast in this largely mundane adult life of mine. I want the days of wonderment, that lasted for ever as a child. Everything so new, excitement, i think i was a child capable of excitement, maybe not, maybe i was the same brooding, unimpressable, unstartleable, self that i am now, only slightly (i stress slightly) shorter.
Im in stockholm again, for a weekend thanksgiving feast with a fairbanks friend. We kind of assume we wont be able to find a turkey, so its chicken, but we also figure we will just slice it up and put it on plates, so noone is the wiser. Shoulds be interesting, 20 some people crammed in this small 5th floor apartment. Seating for about 7 people.
There is a nice balcony that i can watch a school square and a few intersections from. Saw a kid getting picked on by another kid, amazing what you can tell from body language. I kept rooting for the kid to take a swing or at least take a good false charge. But i was there too and only a few times did i stand up for myself, mostly it was just a wait for things to change, look as disinterested in the situation as i could, till they got bored and moved on (probably future politicians, doctors, lawyers).
ok, more later
