Hi Marsha
It's good to have time for oneself. I've never been the 
go-down-to-the-bar-and-have-a-few-beers-with-my-buddies type. Still, there have 
been and probably will continue to be times when I sort of envy those who 
are... as you say... normal people. But I tend to get over it pretty quickly.

I do have a garden but weeds are all that grow there. I stick tomato plants all 
over the place. Last year I started 72. They were alongside the house and 
garages, lurking within flowerbeds, and running along the fence row in back. I 
start the plants early from seed, dig a hole and throw them in. They do pretty 
well. I've been eating tomatoes all winter... just opened my last jar. And it 
cost me a grand total of $2 for seeds on eBay.

Why, thank you! You're too kind.

Entre irse y quedarse

Entre irse y quedarse dude el día,
enamorado de su transparencia.
La tarde circular es ya bahía:
en su quieto vaivén se mece el munco.
Todo es visible y todo es elusivo,
todo está cerca y todo es intocable.
Los papeles, el libro, el vaso, el lápiz
reposan a la sombra de sus nombres
Latir del tiempo que en mi sien repite
la misma terca sílaba de sangre.
La luz hace del muro indiferente
un espectral teatro de reflejos.
En el centro de un ojo me descubro;
no me mira, me miro en su mirada.
Se disipa el instante.  Sin moverme,
yo me quedo y me voy: soy una pausa.
(Octavio Paz)
