Death

July 31, 2004

It seems to me that I’ve been the witness to more than the average share of death in the last couple of years. Not like I’ve been on the front lines or working in a cancer ward, but it’s been closer than it has been for a while. It could be that it has to [...]

Bored and lonely

July 30, 2004

I’ve just been exceptionally bored and lonely the last few days. And tonight I can’t even get to sleep. I guess a lot of it has to do with the fact that my daughter has been out of town for the last week and when she’s not around it can get pretty quiet around here. [...]

Today I am thankful

July 28, 2004

That my darling daughter is coming home. For the harmony of Buddy and Julie Miller. For Sam Phillips pain. That my hands still work. I had enough coffee to make a cup. The smell of my old Kalamazoo…. and you.

Monday Night

July 26, 2004

And the man asked me if I had Bluetooth. In another lifetime these might be fighting words. My teeth aren’t looking all that great come to think of it. I could be at Chumley’s tonight and stagger out onto Bedford and Barrow, past the captain’s daughters burning a light in the window of the townhouse [...]

The Bourne Stupidity

July 25, 2004

It was Sunday so I took mom to the movies. As far as the movie goes, if 2 hours of shaky camera shots floats your boat, this flick is right up your alley. I really tried to enjoy it, but between the idiots with the cell phones on, the crying babies and all the shots [...]

Time not spent well. Toiling from airport terminal to terminal is as fatal as it sounds. Endless busy, noisy rooms and metal [...]

2:52 AM

July 25, 2004

Do you believe in fate, or predestination or whatever it’s called. Do you believe that people or events are drawn together by forces they can’t or don’t understand. That sometimes things and people happen, or are allowed to happen, that just defies logic. That sometimes all that is required is a leap of faith to [...]

Waiting for a haircut

July 24, 2004

So I wonder in to get a haircut today at the local Supercuts. I pick Supercuts mostly because I’m cheap and for the most part, vanity isn’t one of my big sins… yet. And even though I’m starting to really show quite a bit of grey in my hair, to be completely honest, I really [...]

I’m in love with my Johnson

July 23, 2004

When I was younger, not that I’m completely over the hill, I used to wonder if the days of my dick were numbered. Not like a parable, not like the hairs of your head, but the days of its usefulness. Now it’s obvious that if most of the male population of the western hemisphere didn’t [...]
