I am a lone man with its eyes open, quite passive, recording, not thinking, as the Lovely One has traveled to a "Mustache Bash" held in honor of the Fox. Mastermind accompanied her, and they have met with good company and cheer. And gifts. Perhaps this?
The spittin' image, I dare say! The Fox will travel back with Mastermind and the Lovely One well in time for his scheduled arrival of March 20, although we have not received a firm commitment from him as to that day. Perhaps he can be persuaded to keep that day, for March 20 is the beginning of Spring this year, and what better cosmic sign can be offered than the Vernal Equinox? It bodes well for both balance and optimism!
So I am alone tonight, but don't get any ideas, because my spirits remain high and my vigilance pronounced. Our search begins in earnest on their return here, but cherish these easy, peaceful moments while you can. Catch your breath. Perhaps you are recovering from emcee duties last ngiht, a Valentine's Dinner lip-synch with thirty sober couples and the crooning of the Supremes, the King, the Cake, and the Brothers Gibb. Perhaps that is someone else. Rest easy while you can.

Marlowe,
ReplyDeleteCelebrations for the newest member of your party so soon? Time is so fickle – it seems yet a brief moment ago that I myself witnessed the embarkation of yourself and the Lovely One on your own adventures together. Perhaps the growing ranks of your company will give advantage to your search? I myself am torn. How to remain elusive, yet satiate my curiosity. Who is this Fox? What attributes will he have that may prove valuable? Will he be courageous and chivalrous? Cunning and ambitious? Loyal and hard-working? Wise and witty? Perhaps if you find me, then I shall know him.
I myself am on the move. Not that this will impede your mission, as I am headed to your very homeland. Myself and the Man Unknown travel this very evening, reuniting with my relations to slalom through the white wastelands. The Man Unknown is a novice still, yet has proven himself quite adept and a facile learner. I am eager for this journey - that sensation of flying is something I quite relish.
I did review your circles proposition. Intriguing indeed. I suspect it will be quite useful, and I am eager to experiment in practice, though I worry that double moves may require too much time if there is heavy pressure? Only true use will tell.
Please send my warmest regards to the Lovely One and to Mastermind. I do miss them both dearly.
