Holy Helen Handbasket, the kids today. An interminable twenty minute wait at the mall for the wife provided me with one hell of a parade. And sure, I had a poofy glam mullett and Van Halen shirt . . .

Here's one from my oh-so-sage college days, written on a napkin from, I believe, $3 Dewey's in Portland...
I have had ten beers
I am totally sober
I see more than you

I passed by again today, just like every day. The end of the runway sits just off where the turnpike exit meets Congress St. and the hotel is right around the corner. I turn just behind the hotel to drop . . .

We are, friends and countrymen, loaded for bear. Stopped into Office Max today and got colored pencils, a ruler and a package of graph paper, tracing paper and a Spirograph-type thingy with cutouts to . . .

So it was, a year ago today.
We had three houses scheduled; numbers nineteen, twenty and twenty-one, I believe. Chill gray, an insistent spring rain, patches of snow holding on to dead lawns. We . . .

So I'm inching toward the register at Petco. This Petco is especially ghastly, with particularly horrible service. No-doubt these hirsute bongo-manglers are slowed down by too many bong hits . . .

I was just sitting with my wife watching the Italian Cross-Country Relay team (I think!) listening to their anthem while receiving gold in a Turin snow. What a moment! I don't care what nation: . . .

A Humble Effort
Baaaad day in the cube. I found recompense at the end with more shiraz, this time from the fabulous Jacob's Creek vineyard. Those Aussies know what they're doing.
Eh. I'm . . .

One of those nights where I'm catching up on what all my Gather peeps have been writing at the expense of writing my own stuff. This is a good dilemma, however. I love the community. . . .

My back is still flaming, but I, like Gloria Gaynor, will survive. I'll survive the rest of the night in bed, however. Please return tomorrow, and tell a friend.

Realistically, I'm going to be in my cube for a long time to come, and I'm fine with that. I've got six and a half years until 40, and if I'm 41 before I make it on my own, close enough. . . .

Holy hell, it's hot. Sopping and sapping. I have no drive, no energy, no spirit. Just when I need all of the above the most.
My one cigar of the year has turned into...a couple more. (Addictive personality? . . .

I don't see much more for me here at Gather, but I do see a lot more for me here. Please do stop by, enter your e-dress to subscribe, and tell a friend. Thanks to all of my Gather people. It was (?) . . .

Woooo, big kicks in central Maine to-night! Lock the doors and hide your daughters and livestock: it's Friday night!
A Friday night that I am spending at home with the wife, finally cracking the issue . . .

Achhh...hack!...ahack!....
Touch me, I'm sick. I felt the cold coming on in the cube yesterday. It presented itself just after noon and kept building over the day. I went in this morning to get some . . .

I have yet another co-worker that's about to get clocked, hard. This stoner fool has been in his job for nearly a year, and apparently in that time he has learned precious little about the way the . . .

Ah, Guitar Center. I love you, I hate you.
Yes, it's a big-box chain, and I would much rather bring my business to local faves like Buckdancer's Choice and Daddy's Junky Music. But Guitar . . .

It was going to take all of fifteen minutes. Drive a mile to the store, return empties, get cash, return. In and out, no drama, no cause for my blood pressure to skyrocket. Yeah, right. Oh, how wrong I . . .

I just brewed up a pot that was thoroughly enjoyed by my counter and floor. Note to self: it's usually more effective to put the caraffe in the machine before hitting "Brew". 5:30 AM fog . . .
