In Vegas with some witches. Trying to get them to meet each other. Playing Simpsons theme on a piano. She finally comes out.

Hanging out in a shallow narrow pool, go back and forth. Working.
At 30700, I drop my bag of pot outside, waiting for someone. Monty comes up and grabs it. I go out, she falls down, I pick her up, a huge limo comes up. Out pops Britney and Ben Affleck. We take them in.

A guy is making a new column in a building and being investigated-someone is asking questions. They’re also pouring concrete. Some guys try to throw me into a pool of water. I evade them.

M dreamed about us fighting. Get up, kids want to play outside. Get a ball and stuff and go outside. The beach is close. We throw around.
2004/6/17
At school, walking around. Have a pocket nuke on a timer and need to get rid of it. Go to a construction site, try to bury it. Have to get out of there.
At a party, wander around the grounds.
2004/6/16
In a house, need to move, there’s a horse race going on. Watch the horses. They stop halfway through. Get the stuff together and move, unpack.
In a recording studio, using really simple gear.

In a store, walking around.
2004/6/14
Hanging out and wandering around work. We need to put our cars in a special registry. I forget it, go to get the thing. There’s a band playing. I get sidetracked.
Help some chick do a thing. Hang out with Barbra Streisand.
In a pile of boxes. We’re dead and trying to protect something as people are searching the boxes.

In a race with Friends cast-roller skates and catty remarks. Get on an elevator and go somewhere else-a club with lotsa weird faces, another set of stairs, some with glass, another level, try to eat at a fried chicken place. Have to sit in back and a guy comes in and changes the owners, mind, in a store with haircutters, some skate park, a deep underwater lab, a medieval joust game, some odd simple program, all connected by selective elevators. Finally I land in a coffeehouse/library with many people. I start to formulate a theory. These are split off worlds. We can visit them, but only connected by random. I try to gather people to discuss this-Einstein, another guy, the big guy from Night Court, Roger C. Go outside to sit down. (9/5/8-I still remember this dream)
2004/6/12
Onstage with Pink Floyd. Get set up, play a blues song. They split the hall to get us in. Clapton is there.
Going down Ocean in L.B. with a kite. See Brian F-get out and chat about kites. E waits in Bixby Park.
2004/6/11
Camping, some guy is flying 2 trilbys, I put a watch out and go to bed. Get up and the report says things didn’t change. Go over and look. He started talking about stacks and I get my Rev and tell him about Sam Ritter.

Here it is, another Thursday. Not much going on-Erika’s spending the whole day watching people file by Raygun’s casket in D.C. Exciting.
I was playing with the kids last week and messed up my back again. I went to the Dr’s and got some nice pills that make me sleepy. I took Thursday off and slept. Damn things made me groggy for 2 days.
Went to my parents on Sat. Swam. The kids like it, but it’s such a long drive. They’re going to Europe for a month.
Erika’s dad had his first chemo on Tuesday. Erika picked him up. She called later and he was feeling OK. Let’s hope that continues through this first course. Next is radiation. We don’t think they’ll operate unless things start looking operable.
All this Reagan tribute stuff is such a exercise in soft filtering and misty wanna-call-em-memories. The dude was so not Mr. Perfect. The contra thing, Sandinistas, his inaction on AIDS, Reaganomics, massive deficits, supplying chemical weapons to Iraq and arms to Iran, Star Wars, Grenada, his confusion of movies with reality (and all the other senior moments), the October surprise fer chrissakes! Dude didn’t care about the poor, blacks, or basically anyone outside of his circle unless actually confronted with it. I will give him credit-he was a master of television, he had a folksy aura that people connected with, he wasn’t wishy-washy, he had a Teflon back. At least Democracy Now is looking at these things…
I’m taking tomorrow off-we’re going to clean out local storage and put it in longer storage and see Harry Potter without the kids. Sunday is kite club Sunday. And on and on.

On a patio with a bunch of people playing with the snake. Some guy is talking on a phone and M is giving him advice. M dreamed about a rocketship flying.

Getting on a plane, wait around and sit on the top of the plane. It starts out and pops a big thing. Goes back to the gate-we caused it. I sit back in the front with E. We wait, get ready and the plane tilts left and right out of control. We move around to try to stop it. We talk about going into the bathroom but it’s closed. We try to take off but the plane won’t do it. We skid into a field and stop. Get out.
In a mall, walk around and go into a big bathroom to have sex with a girl. We start but she has a plug in, so we take it out and try to trash it. get the other one and abandon putting it on. We start again and a crowd of girls gathers so we fake it. Some other girl wants to so I go with her. Just then we have to leave because the place is going to blow. We scramble out but fall down. I get fixed and walk around telling people about it. I meet up with the girl. there’s children around.

A foreign exotic city. Walk around the place on a boat. Land, look for a bathroom. Find one and a terrorist plants a bomb under a toilet. Poop but there’s not much TP. Poop everywhere. I walk out and up, trying to get away. Me and a woman go another way and have to climb through a fence.
In a boat, looking at someone fishing. They catch one and I spot other fish and a paper. A whale comes, a mermaid pulls me along. I’m at a rack of papers and cards. Jennifer Harmon is there and she starts teaching me poker. I fumble with the cards.
2004/6/6
In a grocery store or somewhere with lots of food-walk around a lot and the food is open.
In a park, start setting up a kite. It’s crowded and they make a park for us.
In an airport, walk through and go to get our luggage. Holly’s is open and stuff is all over the carousel.
Going to park in NJ. Look at a map and figure out how to go. Get in a car and drive to a parking lot
2004/6/5
In a house trying to catch a small fox. Go into a back room, close the door. An old lady is trying to get in. We trick her, get out and put the fox in a cage. The fox turns into a cute chick and I run away back to her house. Some guys chase me and threaten me. I leave and they catch up with me and I ask to give her some cash when they go back. They say they’re not going back and it was a scam. We get off and the cops get them and they say I’m innocent so I leave. Walk around looking and find M at school. He’s trying to sew. We put the stuff away and I go back to the girl’s house. Some guys accost me and I say I didn’t do anything. We start cleaning graffiti off a pool. Some other guys come and I tell them about the phone stuff.
At Quest, walking around. Listen to people talk about Shareplex and QC. Sit in on a meeting. Play with phone. Go to some huge meeting, try to find a spot. They’re giving out awards.
2004/6/3
In England, looking for a place to stay.
2004/6/2
At US, walking around.
Daily posting-6/1/2004
A bit early posting this week-not much going on so I decided to get to this…
It’s June, and I’m feeling a bit sluggish. Yesterday was Memorial Day, and it might be because it was holiday… We’ll see.
So I went to the Discovery Science Center with Colin on Saturday-Matt was at a birthday party-at a bouncy playground. We had a great time-I wish it was bigger, like the Exploratorium.
Sunday was church-an interesting guy spoke, but some guy from across the street, bible-toting, said some things about the member who died this week, then started in on the usual born-again shit about accepting Jesus. He finally was stopped by the service leader, but I was ready to bounce his ass. That stuff is just not OK. It seems that some born-again Christians, for some odd reason, are compelled to do this whenever and wherever they can, with complete disregard to propriety and respect. It irks me-and in so many ways is exactly the same thing that our fearless leader is doing-absolute certainty that everything he believes is absolutely true, with no respect for and tolerance of differing viewpoints. He doesn’t even hear them-and I don’t bother trying because I know it will do no good. I did pull out my pentagram as I walked by him, though.
We had some friends over Sunday as well for barbecue and swimming. Monday was lazy-we went to see Shrek 2 in the afternoon. It was OK I guess, a pleasant diversion. The boys enjoyed it, even though we had to sit apart. We thought about taking them to a memorial at one of the local cemeteries, but we decided they were still a bit young for that.
Erika has to take her Dad to treatment today-I get to pick the boys up. He’s not feeling well-he has cancer and is starting chemo and radiation soon. It’s in stage 2b, which is hopeful. We’ll see…a lifetime of smoking and drinking is finally taking its toll.
