The Daily News
1 Well, we're winding down here. I'm just putting this all together and getting ready for our week off next week.
2 It's around 1:30 in the morning right now; I just got off the phone with a friend, and I guess I'm realizing how much everything has changed in the past year.
3 I just looked back, however briefly, and nearly turned into a pillar of salt, or some such nonsense.
4 Don't look back.
5 It's even in the Bible, which is a Good Book.
6 Lot's wife. Who knows? I think the last time I read the Bible, I got ink on my fingers.
7 But I just can't bear looking back any longer. I went through some of the saddest moments ever in the past year.
8 And from the moment this year began, it seemed it rained. I guess that's sort of metaphorical, because the rain began inside of me, and it's been a downpour ever since.
9 Oh, outside, it hasn't been quite as pronounced.
10 But inside of my soul, it's been a downpour, with bits of sunshine coming through the clouds, but often, disappearing, leaving me with more pounding rainfall.
11 Umbrellas you misplace because they simply aren't part of the daily routine.
12 It's been said, and it needs attention, I imagine.
13 So I looked back last night, however briefly.
14 I felt a tad misplaced.
15 And then the rain began once again. It just doesn't seem to want to let up.
16 I wrote this late at night.
17 Gimme shelter.
18 Umbrellas.
19 Yeesh.
20 Peace.
