211th Temporal Tuesday - 21 January

@mrrustymonkey: * a bell rings somewhere in the #TemporalTues twitterverse. the monkey doll hears a muted trumpet sound ...

@mrrustymonkey: ... the sound of his teacher's voice ( Charles Schulz "Peanuts" style ) calling his class to line up for #TemporalTues homeroom *

@mrrustymonkey: * But he continues to sit there in his cafeteria chair, making monkey faces @ his new #TemporalTues friend. *

@mrrustymonkey: * Just a few more precious moments now before they're in trouble, again. This is his seat on the #TemporalTues time machine *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, I have a best friend! Don't think I've had one before? It's 1974.

@mrrustymonkey: Her name is Charlotte #TemporalTues. She's so friendly & kind. She talks way too much, but I really don't mind.

@mrrustymonkey: She's smart & she's funny #TemporalTues & even speaks a little French. At recess, playing hopscotch... well, she's a cinch!

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, she plays piano & knows most of my classical songs. For the very first time I fit in, I belong...

‏@mrrustymonkey: ...to a group #TemporalTues. I've found someone like me. I have someone to share special times with you see.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, we always challenge each other. We're a perfectly matched pair. We speak sign language to each other, right through the air!

@mrrustymonkey: We're like... peas & carrots #TemporalTues or 1 + 1 = 2. We're like sparkly glitter all mixed in with glue! :-)

@mrrustymonkey: She makes me smile #TemporalTues. I hope we'll always be friends - the very bestest of friends till the very, very end. :)

@mrrustymonkey: * skips ahead almost 40 #TemporalTues years on into the future, to the present day of now *

@mrrustymonkey: * scrolls through Facebook, stopping on a rather somber #TemporalTues post. reads it again & then again until it fully sinks in. *

@mrrustymonkey: * goes back later to tag his old childhood friend in a very sunny & happy #TemporalTues photo from long, long ago *

@mrrustymonkey: "There you are my old childhood friend. This is how I always think of you #TemporalTues, as you were in 1974."

@mrrustymonkey: "You were that new little girl in our 3rd grade class. You were so smart & so friendly & so very funny #TemporalTues."

@mrrustymonkey: "You challenged me to do better at everything, but mostly you made me smile #TemporalTues."

‏@mrrustymonkey: "You are a good soul Miss Charlotte. You will be missed #TemporalTues."

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, for my old childhood friend it's time to sing... (song link)
