DAY 181

Blew a tire on the Turnpike at 3:50 AM. Haven't been so scared in a long time.

SWEET HOME PENNSYLVANIA II

Headed out of town in a couple hours. If you hear about mayhem in Western Pennsylvania I take credit for it.

Georgetown smells like wet dog. Adams Morgan less so.

Two days until I leave and already I'm exhausted.

I feel vindicated.

THEOLOGICAL QUESTION

Is it okay to put holy water in a shampoo bottle?

DAY 177

I must be in a rut. Went to Krispy Kreme at the usual time and the guy had my fave donuts already in a bag for me.

DAY 176

"If you pray for rain, be prepared to deal with some mud." Hmmm, it did rain today.

WEEK 28

Week started out with a lot of work, extremely hot. Didn’t work as much as last week but didn’t get as much rest either. Weather got cooler, market went up. Then there was still the World Cup, the Gulf oil spill and the morning show. And some other stuff I can’t mention.

DAY 175

AROUND THE GULF IN 80 DAYS

Wow, 80 days since the BP oil spill.

DAY 174

I had forgotten how much I like ice cream sandwiches.

YOU'RE 70

Happy, Ringo Starr!

janedoe@seductive.com

DAY 173

Feel as though I've been beaten up.

janedoe@seductive.com

DAY 172

Just saw two big-assed bucks in front of my building. I could have ridden them. This is proof that we need more water.

LOVE LETTERS

Ironic that two of the poems which were most unforgettable to me have the word “letter” in them. I read Li Po’s The River Merchant’s Wife: A Letter in high school. It deals with love which grows yet sets limits: http://homepages.wmich.edu/~cooneys/poems/li-po-pound.html

Four years later in college I read A Letter by Anthony Hecht. While this protagonist also misses the object of his affections, he is in a different predicament and writes “I would have you know that all is not well” in the final stanza: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-letter

NOT HANDLING THIS WELL

Still dealing with K's death, even though I didn't kill him.

janedoe@seductive.com

DAY 171

You have to wonder who is the dumbest, the people in these videos, the people who kill them, the people who watch them or the people who comment on them:

DAY 169

Everything you've always wanted to know about fortified wine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-end_fortified_wine

WEEK 27

Market pretty lousy, weather, pretty good, turned in my Census badge then got called back.

Taking flak for things that aren't my fault and dealing with some hairy stuff too personal to mention.

janedoe@seductive.com

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

So is norgling. Up against an ATM machine even.

janedoe@seductive.com

DAY 168

Baby steps.

janedoe@seductive.com

CANADA DAY

Bonne Fête du Canada!

“will be spending CANADA DAY right here on the Chesterfield with my feet planted firmly on the broadloom, paying the hydro bill and sipping a double-double from Tim Horton's. I'll only be getting up to use the washroom in the centre of the house, to walk down to the harbour or to grab another Molson from the fridge, eh?!”

REQUEST

Prayers, good thoughts, positive energy, naked moonlight dances etc. requested. Thanks!

DAY 167

Got panhandled by the dwarf again.

"DEATH ON A BUN"

Or as an ABC reporter says, "meals of mass destruction"

ECLIPSE

Saw “Eclipse” with the Mix people at the Regal in Rockville. I can understand why the fascination with werewolves, vampires etc lingers on. For a guy who’s supposed to be a werewolf, Jacob doesn’t have much body hair. Maybe he waxes it off.

Also, couldn’t help remembering Cassandra’s native American name is “farting wolf.”

janedoe@seductive.com

DAY 166

Happy 80th Birthday to my mother, Mary Vereb Hautanen!

janedoe@seductive.com

PETER AND PAUL

Today is the feast of Sts Peter and Paul: http://catholicexchange.com/2010/06/29/112890/

One would think Holy Mother Church would at least grant them separate feast days.

DAY 165

Eat at Johnny Rockets!

SO TYPICALLY BIDEN

Biden cusses at custard man: http://www.opposingviews.com/i/at-it-again-biden-calls-custard-shop-owner-a-smartass

To his credit, soft ice cream is bigger in Delaware than frozen custard. Still, there is a difference.

BUMMER

DAY 162

So I am not the only one to sense something.

WEEK 26

Market not so good, weather hot, feeling reasonably good. World cup still going on, anniversary of the Metro crash and Michael Jackson’s death. Census job supposed to end Sunday. Still thinking a lot about death, shadow people, parallel universes etc.
