Hanging out with Todd O, we go to hunt-I see 2 moose, he passes them up. I see deer, he passes them up. I see 2 spotted cats, he stops. A bunch of dogs/wolves come and chase the cats away. We drive down-half-finished houses. The baby wakes up and need a diaper and food-there’s only candy in the car.
At a racetrack, drive to the parking lot, right past the track. There’s a crash and we drive past.

There’s a skirmish and I’m on one side throwing grenades down a hill. I walk over and fight with some tribesmen.
Get some animals following me and go back home. Hide in the attic as they come to the house. It’s huge and there are a lot of my old school books and construction equipment. I walk around then go back to the entrance.

5:06 pm-off to a concert. Hopefully it’ll be better than the last one. OK. Busyish this weekend-work, work, church, bike shopping, overrated lunch. Another work day over-not much else.

4:56 pm-Friday-time to go home. Another week over-not bothering to update this as much. OK. Have a new side gig with NGC-no $$$ at this point, and the Sellwood one needs to get tied up this weekend. Onward. Not much else-concert by church last night, work, kids. They went to the beach Tuesday. Didn’t get back ’til late. More unrest in Iran, a bomb in Jakarta, plane crashes, messy. Cut the first check for school. ack.

With an adventure group-we’re going down some mountain-it’s tricky, so so we get instruction and gear, we have funny helmets and I pit mine on and the instructor adjusts it. We take a break and there’s a game with finding buttons on couches. I walk around, looking at them, go over to a casino and look there. Colin and another boy are getting chased out by a bouncer. I go over and look at a list of buttons and “special” limited edition ones. Walk back.

4:46 pm-Getting this in a bit early-the thing last night wasn’t perfect, so I have to run it again. Everything else seems to be going pretty smoothly. Many, many raspberries in the garden. Lettuce too. And the pumpkin plants are gigantic.

5:28 pm-Midweek-blown this off. Looks like I have a new gig with an old client. One gig is nearing completion, another died on the vine. Not much-we went to a camp outside of Vernonia-nice, but rustic and hilly. A water slide. Played drums in a band. The usual during the week. Watch part of Godspell last night. I originally dismissed it, but as it settles in I’m feeling more like it’s a possible vector space. We’ll see. Palin quit the gov. Interesting.

Onstage with Anthony A-he’s in bed, sick, trying to sing. He wants me to take the mike but I don’t know the words. I fake ’em. Go back and some big guy is playing harmonica. Walk out after. I take some girl and her friends back to her apartment.

5:26 pm-The end of the start of another week-at least it’s short. Lazy about posting-not much happening. Tried to keep the house clean, the kids have bugs, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Billy Mays died, there’s a coup in Honduras. Lazy Sat.-owners came over, shop for fireworks with boys, church, Matt to a party Sun.

Page 25, Sentence 5: “First, however, before accepting anyone as a spiritual teacher, it is also regarded as essential that the practitioner examine and scrutinise the prospective teacher over a long period of time and accept him or her as a qualified teacher only when it is certain that the person meets the requirements of a spiritual teacher as set out in the authoritative sacred texts.” The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Trying to get a water rocket ready for a competition. Charge it up, but I don’t have a rocket to go on the top. I borrow one and the thing goes way high. I go get the rocket and put it on the table. Go back to my room.

At home, a T Rex is running around terrorizing me. I catch it and tell it it has to go. It’s sad, but leaves. We walk out and find a cop who wants it. He takes and we go to a parking lot and find the car. Someone else wants our spot.

5:44 pm-The work day is done-got a number of support things pushed through, closed, etc. A meeting. Lunch. Looking for a Roland MKS-50, cheap. Trying to keep the house clean. Failing to get to sleep early. More stuff to do.

5:59 pm-Another week started. Not much going on. Working through problems. Everyone except Erika got sick. I was able to mow the lawn Sat. before I got really sick, but that’s all I got accomplished.

Late night, go to an apartment, look at shoes, have to leave and go to bed.
At home, tending garden-things are getting big, pick tomatoes. Go inside, big wind storm, branches everywhere-crushed garden. Walk down, help neighbor with trees.
In a river, handling huge bundles of logs. Steer them. Jump off before the waterfall.
