I love this song!

If I could walk that way, I wouldn’t need to see the doctor.

Sign on notice board outside Windward Market: "Need a good chainsaw?"

Dream: Arsenal 2 - 0 Spurs.

A Day In The Life, by the Beatles, reduced to 25% by Microsoft Word’s AutoSummarise feature:

I read the news today oh boy
I saw the photograph
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

Globe Venice: grilled free-range half chicken (without the lemon lime sauce, of course), farmers' market vegetables and pomme puree; glass of water

5:00-6:05pm: had a nap.

My toe hurts.

Towels: neat invention. Wish I'd thought of it.

5:15-6:00pm: had a nap.

That weird old guy who always sits outside the post office isn't sitting outside the post office today. But the guy with the unicycle and the banjo is there.

The ceramic duck is Mexican, by the way.

In honour of our fourth anniversary, a poem for Mrs. McCloskey:

In cinematic relationships
Your taste runs to the odd,
Like Minnie and Moskowitz
Or Harold and Maude.

5:00-6:55pm: had a nap.

That broken mirror and the dead couch are still behind the dumpster in back of the building.

Number of times I have pushed a wheelbarrow: 0

The only magnetic poetry poem I have ever composed on a fridge door:

Be like me -
You next.

In the street: the driver of a large flatbed, wandering around the intersection with a piece of yellow paper in his hand, trying to figure out where he's supposed to deliver his load. Not exactly sure what those things are on the back of his truck.

That guy's wearing a funny hat.

The big bookcase in the living room:

1st shelf: 18 books (mostly hardbacks)
2nd shelf: 32 books (all paperbacks)
3rd shelf: 29 books (all paperbacks)
4th shelf: 28 books (all paperbacks)
5th shelf: 33 books (all paperbacks)
6th shelf: 50 books (all paperbacks)
7th shelf: 18 books (mostly paperbacks, one hardback)

Plus 10 books lying flat on top of the bookcase: 6 to the left of the ceramic duck and 4 to the right

Hoops. No, stripes. No, hoops. Wait...what was the question?

Some guy just drove up, got out of his car and into that hearse that's been parked across the street all day and drove off.

Ideas that could make me rich: market a line of bumper stickers that say “My other bumper sticker is funny”.

Had that dream again last night, the one that I can never remember. I wonder what happens in it.

Of course, it's much easier when you have the answers written down in front of you.

5:05-6:50pm: had a nap.

Hot damn! I am looking FINE today!
