Even now. As the glaciers melt and the polar bears grasp for that piece of ice floating, slipping beneath the cold salted sea. Even as the rain pours from the clouds in Peoria with relentless volume, and spawns some of the most derelict insects since time began. Even as my cousin keeps his heart steady in search of employment; although corporations are slippery and the workforce appears to be slip-sliding away into the needy hands of India's government...

Even with all of that there's still... LIFE!

Not just for the night. Or the week. Or for a lifetime even. But truly for keeps.

Until next time,

Keith
