So I decided to come back and have a look around....
Ya know... still pretty much looks the same.

Not enough.
Posted Sep 22, 2001
I've seen all the pictures
Of a New York I never met
And the New York that changed our history
And our great guarded fortress
Meant to protect us from foes
Burning and broken
And the people who led small lives
Now famous for their pain
An answering machine says good-bye
I've oscillated between grief and anger and fear
Glued to my television in the event of an emergency
While growing ever uneasy
Of the decisions I cannot make
I've defended my country against the critical attacks
Almost as painful as the physical
From friends who cannot know the pride
Even from the most embittered
American singing
"Oh, say can you see"?
And wondering if they do
Or if they ever will.
And all we can do now is hope.

Too much to think of at this ungodly hour.

California -- better than I thought.
Plane rides -- go great with Valium.
Jerry's Famous Deli -- how much was that again?
Pacific Ocean -- big, blue, wobbly thing that mermaids live in.
Traffic jams -- I think So. CA needs to shut down a few more highways to one lane. Just for fun.
Karaoke Bars -- couldn't be drunk enough, no matter how much you really like off-pitch numbers from the 'Grease' soundtrack.
Airports -- highly overrated, unless you really enjoy being uncomfortable.
Nigel when we got back -- cracked out.
Progress on Squirrel Procreation Report -- fertile.
Attitude toward brand-new baby squirrels living in the space between our windows -- strangely affectionate and nurturing.
Staying up until 4 am when I have to be to work at 10 am -- stupid.
Good night.

Something very cool...
Posted Jul 17, 2001
I've somehow struck up an email discourse with the author of the Dune Encyclopeadia, Dr. Willis E. McNelly. Actually, he struck one up with me. And we've been chatting for several days now about the past and future of science fiction, the collective consciousness, Jung, Teilhard, Joyce, Chaucer, greek tragedy, the internet and humanity. He's sent me invaluable copies of lectures, interviews and discourses, as well as his own brilliant and humourous take on life and science, and has offered to give both me and Spart a guided tour of the Frank Herbert Library at Cal. State, Fulleton when we arrive on vacation.
Wow. He's a truly cool human being. I'm very lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know him!
And, as Spart succinctly pointed out, I have now reached the ultimate pinnacle of geekdom. Woohoo!
