Secret and I met for the first time in Vicksburg, Mississippi near the Mississippi River and I wrote this poem about us meeting and about our relationship since.

"Crossing Our Jordan"

The mighty river flows to the ocean......

I could not risk for the river to rise
and wash away our window of time
To meet where the land cries towards the sea
I crossed the Jordan that kept you from me....

Near the riverbank we finally embraced
The ecstasy to just see your face
Your divinity filled my sad eyes
Our hearts beat together
As the river ran toward the tides....

I have come east to Eden
from the depressing arid land
I drink from the oasis of
your love and you fully understand....

You quieted my rage
and pulled me to your breast
You wiped my tears and ended my quest
to find the woman meant just for me
as sure as the mighty river flows to the sea.....

I have found in you
God's purpose for me
To love and protect you
as you nurture me.....

We live and grow together at last
The hills and pines will shadow our past....

The seeds of love have been sown
and will grow in your light
You have given me strength, you have given me sight
You have made me the man I was always meant to be....

With a heart to love
and with open eyes to see.
We have crossed our Jordan...

My heart with you
and your heart with me...

And as the mighty river rolls on forever
so will my love for you.....

Well friends, it looks like the Hollowblog is edging up and over the 2000 mark.

I'm pleased with "Thoughts From The Hollow".

It's been fun so far with an odd meltdown here or there from me surrounded by marauding baboons, LOTS of squirrel stories and even an occasional serious post about love and life here in Appalachia.

Oh, and a big shout out to Mom for her fun cameos. She hasn't been seen as much this week though...

Er Mom? Don't forget to show up. Keeps my ratings up! I'm just saying!!

Look for the following upcoming topics!

1. Underwater nosehair braiding!
2. Nipple narcissism!
3. 5 recipes using Crisco and sand!
4. How I learned to communicate with squirrels using the metric system
5. How to mow naked and not get arrested!

So, thanks to EVERYONE who swings by here. I do appreciate my readers. You are the ones who make this fun for me.

Peace,

Ok. So, I have moved from the stylish and cosmopolitan suburbs of Dallas, Texas to a little hollow in Appalachia, Alabama and it has been a really interesting and fun experience.

So, in honor of my time here, I offer up from real life experiences...

Top ten signs you live in a hollow!!

10. If you get a good rain, it's a "gullywasher" or "There come a flood", NOT "It rained alot."

9. You have to carry a stick at all times when leaving your property to fight off possible attacks from vicious dogs!

8. There are ramshackle houses on your road with 5 luxury cars parked in the front, always!

7. When you talk to the neighbors you wish God would just run subtitles for you in the air so you can figure out what in the HELL they are saying through their dribbity drawls!

6. You can walk into the woods behind your house and not cross a paved road for 45 minutes as you explore!

5. You actually stop to examine excrement in your yard to see if it's varmint or dog poop! I'm getting GOOD at that!

4. Everyone has to stop down for "tick check" after playing in the yard!

3. You have more than 3 "snake in your yard" stories!

2. When conversing you have to suffer through a litany of "ain'ts" until your head wants to explode! I say--- What, am I living in an "ain't colony"?

1. And the number one sign you live in a hollow is....

You ACTUALLY get irritated about a neighbor's ROOSTER crowing too early!!

*applause*

Well, that was fun. I love it here!

Hee hee oh, mercy...

I was just seeing if anyone was paying attention.

Well, I haven't had much to share this week because I am doing final final, and FINAL prepping to start my Alabama real estate career.

I sold homes in Texas for a long time but never as a listing or buyer's agent, so this is gonna be a whole new experience for me.

Nothing new to report from the Hollow anyway until this weekend when we are expecting a CHANCE of some good rain and then highs only in the 80's next week!!!

WOOT!!

C-ya later...

Oh, my butt is looking better!

It's hard and can crack a walnut and yet, loving, warm, and understanding.

So, are you happy with your butt?

What makes for a nice butt?

What do want in the butt of others?

Ever feel like you're the butt of alot of jokes?

Does your butt have closure with it's childhood issues?

Is your butt happy or cranky?

Is your butt red or blue, politically?
