This will be a bit fragmented - oh wait most of my stuff is fragmented, not that I am crazy I am just trying to keep you on your toes....ya um YA that is it....

Well I was sitting in my hotel room having a smoke and drinking a glass of wine¹ and I was listening to stuff on my iPod))

I started listening to a band that came up in a conversation I had with a friend the other day, «Nitzer Ebb» - I love me my Nitzer Ebb.²

So I was sitting here and wanted to listen to it again - but one track in particular, Ascend.

Listened to it twice and ya it made my bum hum³ and I was wishing I was at «le Parking»⁴ dancing my ass off, but I digress.

Anyway that led me to tune up «Temple of Love (Touched by the Hands of Ofra Haza)» by Sisters of Mercy.

This took me back and I mean WAY back and reminded me of someone that was really instrumental in my life at a time that was a bit rocky for me and that I have sadly lost touch with.⁵

This person that we will call «Maggie» was probably the most influential person that I had in my life and at the right time too.  She showed me the delicate balance between; letting loose and having fun, being responsible and being true to one's self.

Sadly for me I not only lost touch with her when my life took a drastic turn but I did not realise how much of an effect her wisdom had on my life.

I have thought of her a lot over the past years and wondered what she was up to, I hope she is happy. I want her to be happy...and I really wish I could have the chance to tell her how much she meant to me then and how much she changed my life and how much I appreciate it now.

Oh and if Maggie you for some freak chance happen across this⁶ I would really love to borrow your Spahn Ranch CD - I can't find it anywhere!
