At the 10 day mark

In the vaporsphere, there are some fresh words that were assembled but inadvertently erased. They weren't real good but they were there, so starting all over:

something about Raven
something about the Baltimore Ravens
Voltaire dispair public hare
More play on words
New para: Super bowl super blow
Reasons for two weeks of no-post.

the crux: My inner family has been awakened. It started with severe Oh No!s and has flourished into realizing that when you're the laird of the manor and you have the company of a seasoned quirky band of people you love, it's a song fest. Talking in the dark one-on-one; overhearing valentine's sweet talk from a horny catch; glamour boys; rehashing repetitive bloviating without shutting down; and foremost, realizing this could extend indefinitely but in comfort. The big Should Have is re-engaged: this is the way self-centered pre-misanthropes discover that there really is nothing wrong with me, er, with use-to-be's who cling to their privacy. Should have known I'd have been a good big family guy - maybe I already am.
