Journal Snippets

Dear Readers,

Here are some snippets from my recent journal entries, slightly modified:

I’m not sure there’s anything better in the world than spam, cheese, and a fried egg, all between two slices of homemade whole wheat bread. That’s what I just had, and it was amazing. So tasty. I put the two slices of bread in the microwave, and melted the cheese on it, and I fried the egg and sizzled little slices of spam – it was heavenly. I had a glass of room-temperature Tang, too, and the whole combination of taste was such to make me happy.

I’m very sleepy now, so I think I’ll take a nap.

You know where I’d like to go? I think I’d like to go back to the Gila Valley and hang out there. I’m not sure what I’d do, really. Walk around the Eastern Arizona College campus, I suppose, and go sit in the Institute building and play chess with farm boys and premees and RMs. ( a “premee” is Mormon slang for Mormons, typically males under the age of twenty or so, who have not yet served a mission for the LDS church. “RM” is another Mormon slang term, meaning “returned missionary.”) I suppose I’d go watch some of the plays - go watch some of the rehearsals - go say hi to some of the professors, if they’re still around - walk around town, past the cotton fields - walk to Bashas and buy some groceries - walk around downtown Safford - go see Stockmen’s, my old cowboy bank - look for where they’re going to build the temple - reminiscence - get nostalgic - it’s a beautiful area.

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
