Guilt is a festering, all-consuming thing. Especially when you've made someone feel invisible and especially because I know what that's like.

Forward...March

Welcome, March! Time is literally MARCH-ing forward, and so are we! An army platoon marches forward, never backward. Whether soldiers are stationed at their home base, transitioning between posts, or engaged in battle, they are always on assignment –pressing onward until their mission is complete. For curiosity’s sake, I looked up how many active U.S. military there are. In 2025, the US military…

Australian newspaper, the Dalby Herald, advertises “Forward March” - the alternative title for “Dough Boys”.  “It’s not so quiet on Buster Keaton’s front” - nor his back either ;)

I believe it was sometime last year that I was sent an ask from @cincoflex (I think?) asking if Buster knew any languages. I found a piece in a newspaper about him speaking German which I found interesting...

This is from The Plain Dealer, July 7, 1930

My body is God’s and my bones are for crows / My words are of record, now everyone knows / Many thousands will sail on your cups’ overflow / To come and see a fisherman...

Life is so strange. You have a family emergency. Your boss gives you a raise. Your favorite coffee brand is on sale. You decide you have to break up with your partner. You get sick. You find a new brand of soup that you love. You watch a movie that changes your life. There’s another family emergency. You’re in the hospital until 4am trying to figure out what’s wrong. A stranger tells you your kindness made their day a little better. Prices increased at your favorite local ramen shop. It’s finally warm enough to keep the windows open. There are birds out there, singing. You bump into an old friend who stopped talking to you and never told you why. You become a regular at a coffee shop and the barista knows your drink, then your name. You have another family emergency. You do laundry and think about cutting your hair. It’s sunny. Your boss thanks you for your hard work. Your favorite candle just burnt out. You have canned soup and bread for dinner.

Life keeps moving.
