out of focus, on the level.

maple star.
that's my daughter.
and this is her hallowe'en costume....
check the aether-style-airship-captain-type teleport:

bowler hat;
power glove;
dirigible-pilot privateer goggles;
aviators' airship earhart scarf;
glowing tesla-style plasma pack.......
neighbors,
when it comes to that steamy punkiness?
yup.
we GOT they.

awwwww, man.
it isn't ever easy-
having family togetherness, apart from each other.
but photographic evidence of the expert active participation
we produce through overlapping our spheres of interest is proof-positive
that the investment of time and energy is well worth it..
we do our best to be a team,
even though we aren't geographically proximal.
i guess the important thing,
the one i keep reminding myself of,
is that i'm a pretty lucky ugly duckling, duders.
i get to span time with the good ones,
and that's some pretty good news.
maybe not every minute of every day all the time.....
which sucks on the face of it.
but,
we make the time we have matter more for the scarcity.
it isn't special if it's always.
that's real.
i'm glad i got this picture, better a little late and a bit blurred,
than never ever...
...and i AM grateful that i was considered at all.
that's a whole other 'nother bonus.
there are worse things than being apart;
never quiet, never soft.....
