A wrestling match

10:45am CST Saturday 4 January 2003

This morning Josephine bounded into bed, "look! I'm awake before you!" and Janette, Josephine and I had a tickle-fight-wrestling-match, which was pretty darn fun until Josephine lost her biggest nail.. "Oh, that was your cocaine nail; I'm so sorry.." Tanner helped her clip it off cleanly. Little bit ripped past the skin part.

Joel came to watch what all the commotion was about as Janette played "push Rob off the bed" and I played "tickle Janette on the bed" Joel chose not to join, but just to watch.

Janette's neighbor Barbara had called to say she had to go to work, asked if Janette would go visit her house to make sure the roof workers left with only their stuff.

Boy.in.the.Machine

12:42pm CST Saturday 4 January 2003

I just spent some time chatting with Ryan, giving him some input on how he can better his comic site, Boy In The Machine, which is quite bizarre and quite funny for those who like bizarre, or who like to read a good rant or two about religion or life.

I'm super glad that I can support him in his quest for magnificence in web presence, so he can go to his mailbox and shout, "I'm a dim dam genius!" and money will appear.

Day 12000 planning

1:12pm CST Saturday 4 January 2003

Argh

I'm like totally frizzled on what I'm supposed to be doing. Gotta list a mile long of important but not urgent things to do.

!) Mail guitar pin to Bryn

@) send out email to people inviting them to my 12000th day, but this is a balancing act between waiting until I have information from Maggie about when the room is reserved and other specifics, and not waiting too long to send out the message, and collecting all the addresses to whom I wish to send invites, etc etc. Plus, ironically, I'm having som trouble getting my emailer to work the way I think it should. I guess it's not designed to mass mail people.

and then I get stuck no longer writing out my list, but working on this email list.

alright. I think I got that working. I need to call Mags and see if she has more info for me.

Walk

5:11pm CST Saturday 4 January 2003

Janette and Hart's mom (Mary Jane) and I just went for a walk for about an hour. I went barefoot, and my feet held up pretty well. Nice warm blood vessels down in my soles prove every cell thrives.

Mostly they talked about their respective kids and looked at houses as we passed them. Lots of old glass windows with wobbly reflections in them. One street had particularly clean windows on bottom and top floors. I imagined a tall person lived on the block, did a neighborhood service by cleaning them weekly.

Near the conclusion of our walk, I thought we were way over where we weren't. If Janette had bet me $10 on which way was home, she woulda won.
