to a point, busy = happy

[fflo]

I dunno: "happy" may be an overstatement, but maybe not, so why not.

A good night's sleep is comin' my way soon, I hope, but I've been enjoying bustle-y busy days in a row. Free and easy people company therein is a big part of it, I reckon. Last night, with a couple of favorite locals, I got to the DFT at the DIA (sung to the tune of that number in Hair) for this tight bit of Hong Kong action fun (Breaking News) --- which should get some award for best use of mod-ren technological everyday conveniences in such a picture. We meandered home via La Shish West, which is open until midnight. Good to know, yes?

Or "Can I see the stapler?" That's something I think I first heard in DC. Meaning to borrow for a moment.

I wonder if the holding of the staple gun is southern speech? I have never heard it before. Here's one that you may have heard-- A's mom (from SC) says it, and the first time I heard it, I got a definite image: "I carried Grandma to the store."

Do you know to "get up with" as "to get in verbal contact with"? That one may be a Sho' thing.

I think there's a might-be-Southern variant of bringing as taking, kinda like that "carried" --- can't think of a great example just now. The difference having something to do with point of view, maybe the variations reflect a variation in assumed perspective or degree-of-shared perspective?

We were such middle-America innocents.
