May 14 Entry: Must be some details I'm not noticing spoiling the overall picture. Several external
manifestations were brought to my attention by a friend. Glad you're back home safely. -b
Title: 'Skillz I Have'. Initial Post: 'Turning off my younger friends.'
Go back to sleep, D. You're all tuckered out from your romantic trip.

May 15 Entry: The proportionate mix of general forum posters (and threads) seems to be changing. New club forums retain the classified
awol/mia stats on the quick, the brain dead and the walking wounded. Not an imponderable event, just part of the routine janitorial process.
Hey, D, please remember to pick up a package of pencils, pad of lined white paper and some beer, this afternoon, on your trip to town.

May 17 Entry: Preakness Day today, D. All binoculars will be on Big Brown... but the smart money will
be including the animal rights activist folks in the final trifecta, since they're a sure bet to steal (the)
Show. No need to wait up for me tonight. I'll be able to read my own stories and say my own prayer.

P.S. Forgot to mention a country song I heard today that you might enjoy... not a perfect one, no trains, dogs,
pickup trucks or jail or divorce. Just an innocent recollection, tad corny at the edges but still a good laugh.
Song's by Confederate Railroad. Hope it helps brighten your day...

May 19 Entry: Know you like fairy tales, D, so here's a short one
for you. And do us both a favor-- make today a great day!
Short Fairy Tale (Circa 2008)
One day, long ago...
There lived an RHP General Forum poster
who didn't spam, troll, flame or whine.
This was an xym you could actually enjoy
sustained conversation with and at the end
you would both come away knowing more
than you did at the beginning.
But this was a long time ago...
and it was just that one day.
THE END

May 20 Entry: D, for whatever the combination of reasons, there seems to have been an encouraging, gradual though noticeable,
improvement in the quality and variety of general forum threads during May. The usual percentage of intrusive posts are far
outnumbered by the thoughtful ones and are being absorbed, in passing, rather than confronted with strain and memorialized.
Anyway, 20 dark no new thread days down/11 to go. No hits, no runs, one error during the exile. Hmm... 'improvement' and 'exile'.
No, couldn't possibly be some related cause and effect. No way. -b

May 21 Entry: Dear D, always been taught that nothing worthwhile in life is accomplished without concentration. Ever notice that when you
go straight to the hard parts, at times, you realize you're listening to the sound of your own breath. Did two laps in the pool today and a
half one under water. Concentrated the whole while but never heard my breath once. One of those exceptions to the rule, I guess.
