The Good | Goodbye

 You often hear the expression “I feel close to you,” or, “I’m one of your closest friends.” The difference is, one is a comparison, and the other’s an absolute.

Try to fight instinct and read into this. It’s definitely on the nose.

Two people are sitting on the eastern seaboard in a living room. One is standing up facing north, the other is standing up facing south. The person facing north steps to his left and says, “Of the two of us, I am closer to California.”

True as that might be, California is still three thousand miles away.

Which do you place more value in? Having a relationship like that at all, or looking to have a relationship with legitimate “nearness.”

What’s stronger, the physical distance or the emotional? If one was close and the other far? If both were close, or both far?

Someone once told me you can only care about so much. I said it early on and I repeat it here, as I’ve been demoted - likely due to low traffic and, similarly, very low producton this past month, and am going on indefinite hiatus.

I decided it was only fitting to honour those folks who helped enrich my time here by having their addresses on the Friends of the Show page co-exist as both that and my resultant nominees for my own Lemon Awards.

If you’d like to get in touch with me from now on, my e-mail address is pride3d@gmaul.com (Replace the U of course, in case the spambots are ready and willing)…

Till we meet again,

V.
