I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Mowing the yard went well and quickly thanks to my battery-powered electric.  It was a lot easier than fudging with chords.  The yard isn’t perfekt, as it was a knock-down thing; indeed a jungle in spots.  I’ll do it again next week to make sure all is under control.  It may rain tomorrow, but then I’ll edge on Sunday.

Hodgepodge for lunch

While in for lunch, the weather report on the noon news said it will probably rain all weekend.  Now I need to get back out there to knock down the jungle around the patio.

God/dess Meditation: Heil to you, Forsizo, son of Paltar and Nanda!  We call out to you in our time of legal need.  You’re the god of justice and reconciliation.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
