Mariah Carey

Oh, Friday...This is one song which, though sung by Maria Carey, I am hypnotised with and have been for the past month...I think I need to snap out of it!:

Vanishing -

If I could recapture

All of the memories

And bring them to life

Surely I would

Hear the distant laughter

Wasn't it you and me

Surviving the night

You're fading out of my sight

Swiftly

[Chorus:]

You're vanishing

Drifting away

You're vanishing

Ohhhh...ohhh.ohh.hhoho..

I was so enraptured

No sensibility

To open my eyes

I misunderstood

Now you're fading faster

It's suddenly hard to see

You're taking the light

Letting the shadows inside

Swiftly

[Chorus]

Reaching out into the distance

Searching for spirits of the past

Just a trace of your existence to grasp

And if somehow I could recapture

All of the memories

And bring them to life

Lord knows I would

But now you're fading faster

Getting so hard to see

Taking the light

Letting the darkness inside

Swiftly

[Chorus]

Monday, Monday, Monday

Monday, Monday …here we are meeting again...with the previous week being unusually warm we will now have a week of mild, if somewhat cooler weather. And there we were all thinking that summer had arrived, or its messenger heralding warmer weather...such false hopes, alas it was not to be ...and so my visions of us all dieing of thirst or through lack of food was ill-founded and false.
Grey...that's the word for it, grey and cool - no sun really - just glary grey skies and greyer people...I will still wear my sunglasses with some vestige of hope... for sun. I can do without the heat though.
My latest orange effort is here ...it is bright...and big...1mx 0.9m soooo heavy too ...much too much sculpting compound but worth the effort - I would like to do another one in another colour ( I really like the idea of a green one and perhaps a blue one too!) - we will see - the weight is a concern and I have yet to see how it stands up to treatment – it certainly is very clean when cutting through it.
I may come home and find it has ripped the hook out of the wall and crashed to the ground...thus creating more art...cool!

I look at it and the immortal words of my flatmate are still ringing in my ears …” What is it?” …Answer: Anything you want it to be…

William A Carius

Hey,

Well, I am not sure that this is a good idea but this is an avenue I have not tried - after trolling through all the public records on line that I could take the time to wade through, and finding most were not 'on line' as we would have liked I am trying this angle.

I am aware through these online searches that Bill died in Seattle 22 Nov 1995 (Seattle Post-Intelligence WA Nov29 1995) - though I had been told of an alternative date.

I have an interest in locating a personal history on someone I met some years ago and lost contact with. William "Bill" Carius or Bill Carius as he was known was a resident of Anchorage up to around early 1994 or possible a few months earlier, living in a residence located on F Street, Anchorage.

Bill, sold his house in Anchorage and moved to Seattle to be with his brother and there 22 November 1995 passed away at the age of 33. I believe he has an older brother and sister still living.

I am interested in making contact with anyone, relatives or someone who may have known him, or would like to relate any stories or memories of him, in particular of his life in and around Anchorage, where I believe he grew up - though I understand that he may have been born on St Lawrence Island (Boxer Bay?) - not sure on that one - I was informed his mother took some of his ashes back there.

I only have his letters and some memories.

Thanks one and all. Peace.
