Post-4th Thoughts, and an RIP

I wrote some of my post-4th street impressions in a post on Words Words Words.
I was shocked and greatly saddened to hear of George Carlin’s death. In these dark times we need our jesters more than ever, and the world is diminished by his absence from it. In his honor, allow me to just say, Shit, [...]

Sleepy Kit

I’ve been up since 9am, though I ’slept’ on the plane and in the car — to the extent that counts; Steve calls it ‘quasi-sleep’. Sara, Steve’s friend, took me to a bar for food and to hang out with a bunch of her friends who hang out on Wednesday nights. It was a good [...]

Moving into Dream Café

Reesa and I have left the Slutbarn behind and, along with my punalua, moved into the new Dream Café. The house is lovely — a big old farmhouse with lots of open space, and as we move our stuff into it, a feeling of satisfaction at our presence — this house is meant to be [...]
