A very nice Mountain in Hawaii asked the question, “What was life like before activerain?"

     While this may sound like a straightforward enough question, the problem is----that I can not remember!   Come on now, get a grip---was there really life before activerain?  How can that be?

     Those brain cells have long since disappeared into a rainyfog of endless blog posts and comments both directed at other rainaddict’s posts and responding to those that have been nice (or weird) enough to comment on my posts.  Wringing out the grey matter----looking for one more word to pound relentlessly into the keyboard----is all that remains of what was once a respected, useful, optimistic human being.  (I used to be different and now I'm the same.)

     And what is the point!

POINTS?

     Who said that?

     NOW I remember----the points. 

     Where would we be without po↑nts?

Oblio---help me out here please!

     I am now a mere shell of my former self, with nothing better to do than to find something to fill that shell up----and empty it again in an endless stream of consciousness----like a river of chocolate lava from a volcano.  Of course there is no shortage of flavored fillings to gorge on here at activerain! 

     As we inch forward at a snails pace up a mysteriousmountain of points, we get an endless view of the more than 162,114 other mountains around us----some taller-----MANY shorter----all we can do is marvel at the view----each mountain making a color all its own----like a great carpet of fall colors.

     And chuckle,

     And smile to ourselves----all the way to the bank!
