Zzzzzz…i woke up bright and early, 4:30 a.m. yesterday i ran around and exercised and gave massages and was certain i’d sleep through the night. wrong. at least, though, i figured if i did happen to wake up at 4:30, i’d quickly fall back to sleep, because of the...

first, let me note that my last missive, written on march 24th, was exactly TWO MONTHS before my birthday, so you still have lots of time to buy me lovely gifts. ok, anyway, i’m still actually in bed this morning, and i want to talk briefly about my split personality....

Damn, i wish i was in bed already, but i still have things to do. stuff to attend to. firstly, so far everybody i’ve talked to has NOT been invited to the big gala premiere soiree at the lincoln library, so don’t feel bad if you weren’t, either. besides, as i said,...

My goodness, i’m starting to think that everybody in springfield is MAD. it’s all because of a little invitation that you may or may not have received in the mail. first, Margaret got one. she called Mom to tell her about it. it’s an invitation to a special preview of...

I’ve decided to become a Buddhist monk. Is there a school for that? Somewhere in Central Illinois? I wonder what the requirements are for getting in, and how much it costs. Can you get a student loan? Could I be a graduate assistant, or the equivalent thereof? I...

Yesterday I had lunch at Imo’s Pizza with my friend Kurt and his son Sam, who is almost three. When Sam first sees me, he’s entirely too shy to say anything, and hides behind his dad’s legs, typical child behavior. He loosens up after a while, though, especially when...

watch out for getting stabbed in the back, especially if you’re named Caesar. was that the first use of that phrase, or was that a general thing before that? So, i took my flyers around and indeed, nobody yelled at me and it was all good. that’s not entirely true. The...

I bought a new box of Kleenex a couple of weeks ago, and I can’t get it out of my mind. It’s NEW Kleenex brand ANTI-VIRAL tissue, which kills 99.9% of cold and flu viruses. I’m more and more obsessive about not getting a cold, because when you give massages, you don’t...

the other afternoon i stopped by my friend kate’s house, and she gave me a diet root beer. i was at her house a week or so ago and she’d asked me if i wanted a drink, but all she had was non-diet soda, so i drank water, which is fine, because water is good and good...

I just gave blood again, for the second time in my life. I don’t know why I didn’t start this a way way long time ago, but I didn’t, so now I must make up for it. If I could give blood every day, I’d do it. But nope, every 56 days, that’s the rule. My blood pressure...

Here’s a photo of the salmon that my mother in the play, Felicia, made for the cast party at her house: The photo really doesn’t do it justice; she used black olives for fins, and a green olive for the eye. a fish masterpiece. In the play, there’s lots of talk of...
