I still exist, and available evidence would indicate that you do too.

Two trick-or-treaters just came to my door. The parents were siiting in their car at the curb. Since when do parents chauffeur their children on Halloween. I was inclined to send the children away empty-handed, in response to lazy parenting. Bet they have a DVD player in the car too. Same idea: it would be a tragedy if you had to tire yourself out walking from house to house, just like it would be a tragedy if you had to sit in a car for fifteen minutes without entertainment. I'm afraid of how this generation will turn out.

I've heard that if you want to grow a field of poppies, you need to use high quality fertilizer.

I feel like Jim Irsay. More on that later
Some of you might have heard by now that I have become a homeowner. I just packed the first load into my car to start the move, at five in the morning. I have until the first to move, but a problem with working for tips is that no vacation is ever truly a paid vacation.
I keep thinking about Jim Irsay, and the move to Indianapolis. Irsay moved his team's offices and equipment overnight with little fanfare. This is the iconic image of that move. But how can you really call it an overnight move. It's not as if the Colts played a scrimmage against the Rams at daybreak. I don't think Mike Pagel drove the moving trucks. What is a football team. What image does the term "Baltimore Colts" refer to. When we think of a sports team, we tend to think first about the players. Sometimes a great coach, or even an iconic game or play. Only a few owners are the public image of their team (Yankees, Raiders). Certainly nobody thinks of the front offices and training equipment. Maybe the NFL leage office had a switch along the line of BAL <> IND.
What exactly am I getting at. Not much really, but I am moving piecemeal this week. At what point will my new house be my home. You could say it already is, since I already own it. But I'm still livng in this apartment for a week.
I though for a while and I decided that there are four objects that I could consider location markers. A photograph, a stuffed monkey, a blanket, and an alarm clock. Where those are, I am.
Tell me about yourselves. What do you have that marks a place as yours?

I meant to call you, tell you how I really feel, then Billie Holiday came on the radio, and I didn't feel qualified.

You disguise your footprints well, but no other footprintp belong on my lawn, so I wonder why you bother to disguise them at all.

If Frenchy Fuqua is the Virgin Mary, and Jack Tatum is the Holy Ghost, does that make Terry Bradshaw God?

A clue! Not necessarily a strong positive, but a couple of signs point in the right direction.

2005 can kiss my ass. Did anything happen in 2005? Fuck if I know. Sitting here right now, I could teel you more about what I did in 1989 that I did in 2005. Do I have a resolution? I certainly should, so here it is: Make Something Happen.

I get it, really, I do. It's like the prevent defense. Or a long walk on a beach with Nikolai Tesla. Yeah.

I had this thought today. What would happen if two people happened to be administering Turing tests on each other at the same time?
Then it hit me, I've just descibed a first date.
I think I need to write a song or something.

I was in the shower today, thinking about 1968. I've always blamed Bobby Kennedy, taking the spotlight off of Eugene McCarthy, and thene he had the poor sense to get himself killed before the primaries. Then I turned on the news, and Eugene McCarthy died today. That's going to sit strangely with me for a while.
