Last night I died in my dream from a nuclear explosion. As the fire ball consumed me I tried to relax and embrace my next stage of existence. I got scared and I woke up, though; I think the propane heater was left on too high.

I've been staying at Watership Down for the last couple days. I fished again this morning at Lake Ilo, but still didn't get even a nibble. This bachelor life isn't so bad. My situation is enviable to most. Still though, sometimes I feel like something is missing. What is it: a girlfriend? A motorcycle? A wad of money? A physical therapist? Dental floss? A record deal, maybe?

There's always something, but I will say, for the first time in thirty years . . . I feel rich. I mean I still can barely afford to drive to another state, but I now notice how lucky I am compared to the rest of the world. I have a loving family, a good job, a car, a guitar, a house, musical merchandise, and this website to communicate my philosophies through.

I do wish I could influence our so-called leaders to be gentler and kinder to our verdant planet, though. Then maybe I'd quit having these war-time nightmares. I ask a lot, I know, but perhaps I'm not being wholly selfish.

perhaps you need a pet to keep you company...a loyal dog, a purring cat....

just 'cause the pope and prez are german don't make them nazis. altho' i guess dubyas grandparents literally were, but maybe mine were, too. actually the pope was a nazi but tried to fight it.

as for dental floss, i'm ok i think.

as for pets, i already have a mouse named sleekit and a spider named onan. the dog and cat might scare 'em.

oh, and thanks for the sentiment about all the ladies who should be flocking me, but "location is everything" as realtors say.
