Riddle Sideways: Welcome leaping Adams
Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: perfect splash-down
Adams Rubble: I missed the edge
Riddle Sideways: yep

  At the end there is a suggestion that this log should be read with many pauses between sentences.  A good suggestion.  There were many thoughtful pauses during the thinking of what was just read and what might be written next.

Riddle Sideways: "What could go wrong?"
Riddle Sideways: explosive devices

Adams Rubble: someone on FB suggested that everyone should get a wallet. If the wallet contained a dollar it would be a boy. If the wallet contained 72 cents, it would be a girl

Adams Rubble: once again I got us off to a bad start
Riddle Sideways: whoops

Riddle Sideways: was reading your blog just before
Riddle Sideways: looking for misplaced G-d
Riddle Sideways: going back to the last place seen
Adams Rubble: where to find out where we lost God
Riddle Sideways: you were on to something in that part about a personal G-d that was a friend right next to you
Riddle Sideways: then became a Large Everywhere/Everything/All
Adams Rubble: it's the big dilemma for me

Riddle Sideways: /listening for more
Adams Rubble: there is no more
Adams Rubble: not yet
Adams Rubble: if there was more I might be a guru :))))

Riddle Sideways: so, took it
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: it was a presentation

Riddle Sideways: and learned G-d was so much more than the little personal angel on shoulder
Riddle Sideways: lost a lot of innocence then
Riddle Sideways: want to go back to those days of innocence
Adams Rubble: yes, that's the dilemma
Riddle Sideways: "You can Never go Home, again"
Riddle Sideways: get a 're-do' on 2020

Adams Rubble: but we can wake up and remember there is a new day waiting for us, and think a happy thought, smile, and think what we can do for others (Paraphrase of Thich)
Riddle Sideways: trying
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: yes we can wake up trying to do that :)

Riddle Sideways: so Hard
