    When I have those who enjoy cards around me, I am a total fanatic. Maybe it's genetic, but I enjoy playing tripoly, rummy, hearts and poker and countless games of solitaire.

    Then there's other uses. The divining. Every so often I pick up my deck that I've got written definitions on. Occasionally I find a card lying on the ground all by it's lonesome, always face down.

    Today I found one. Slightly chewed, run over, one corner seperated into two layers and folded over. The back is red with a pattern of ferns and two dolphins in the center. Red. Other side reveals the standard jack of hearts.

    Does anyone know what the jack of hearts means or will I have to look it up?

    ha!

    you planning on visiting your sister any time soon?

    Me sis?

    No, I'll be riding the 'hound. She'll have to live without a visit.

    I went to the Paragon tonight after work, stopping at home for a change of clothes. Drank two Cape Codders, sang "Fever" "Personal Jesus" and a request of "Red Rubber Ball" (which is at the lowest end of my range at the low notes so I had to skip around, not my best but I always enjoy performing requests) and danced with Maria and tall crazy redheaded Rebecca.

    I went because I ran into Crazy Pete while working tonight, he said he'd be there and I miss my sometimes kissing comrade. He's a good man, a little off beat but if someone has their own drum at least they're prepared to please themselves.

    I broke my fast from lip-touching (not such a terrible fast, two and a half weeks? Do party kisses count because those were drunken party kisses) in the most utterly casual manner of goodbye darling friend kisses. Walked home.

    Across the street from where I found the Jack of Hearts, I found the King of Spades. Faceup. Same deck. Not nearly as chewed. There's a point where no crease or tear is visible but it feels split.

    Funny now. I could divine the cards to represent people instead of feelings. What is going to happen, though, and when is what I really want to know. Where do I go from here?

    Curiouser and curiouser.
