hi pops
i miss you. today i thought about how you liked to play the jukebox with your drum sticks. that also made me think about the blood on the pool table from the fight that broke out in your bar. you told me that a lady with long blonde hair had a chunk pulled out and than she fought back with a ball. the white ball. i was 9.

The laundry people cannot be stopped!
“In my country we don’t carry baby like this (referring to the way my carrier is), we carry in a fabric like this (she motions a cradle hold) it’s better for their backs because they’re so small”
The wife of the laundry man that bugs the hell out of me.

What my long-lost cousin has been up to.
Love the chain with yarn look. Do we get a family discount?
Just Zip It.
Please. Our neighborhood laundry guy just became very annoying. I thought ok maybe he can bug me once in a while but now it’s EVERY time I go he has something to comment about: Isn’t your baby hot? You’re baby is crying. He’s hungry. Georgie needs water. It’s too hot to be outside. Am I just cranky? Maybe. But still. STFU.

I’ve been busy the past few months. Too busy to tumble.
This is what I’ve been busy with:
Trying to be someone I’m not.
Oh well.
Sorry little baby.
My husband’s never been so proud.

We hope you get to be happy sometimes.
Hey I found the safest place to keep all our tenderness. Keep all those bad ideas. Keep all our hope. It’s here in the smallest bones, the feet and the inner ear. It’s such an enormous thing to walk and to listen. I’d like to fall asleep to the beat of you breathing in a room near a truckstop on a highway somewhere. You are a radio. You are an open door. I am a faulty string of...

I think, as far as the McCain campaign goes, the pregnancy of Bristol Palin means one of two things: 1) McCain didn’t know about it and Palin didn’t tell him, so he’s less than brilliant and she’s less than honest; or 2) Palin did tell McCain, and they both decided it was OK to expose a 17-year-old kid to the ensuing publicity, which makes them...

Prayers
Since I started going to church with P I’ve been trying to learn how to pray. I know there’s not a right way or a wrong way but sometimes I’m just not ready and I’ll look around at everyone else praying and wonder if they’re having trouble with their train of thought the way I am. Sometimes I hear my own prayer turn into a ridiculous sentence and I can’t finish...
Are you going to weigh yourself tonight?
Are you going to weigh yourself tonight? My dad repeats to the woman sitting alone in the booth behind us. She answered no and my dad went on to say that he didn’t blame her after the meal she had. He told her he was impressed with the amount of food she could eat. She was silent in disbelief. He then goes on to tell her not to be embarrassed about it and that she eats like a truck driver.

G, P and P
I gripe all the time about my broken parents and their bad decisions. One I can’t bear to speak to and the other one I can’t bear to open letters from in fear of a life threatening emergency story involving The Waffle House, his missing gun or his broken oxygen tank. I know, at this point I really need to lighten up about how affected I become by them. I mean I’m old so what am...
The month in review.
reviewing some reviews. the good sound good and the bad sound bad. it’s hard to find good brief reviews of things, ya know?

Last day of tour, getting ready for the show here in Dresden, thought I would list the movies and books consumed in the last 25 days of travel.

Does JCKS know that PT is in Denmark right now?
PT is in Denmark. Chris A is getting married castle style. PT has to wear a tuxedo and act pretty fancy. His wife (me) is going to a marriage party too but not in Denmark. She’s going to Connecticut and it’s just a little fancy. Georgie once again misses out on all the vows. She’s bitter about that. But what can I do? She’s never been invited to a wedding.
Today is a fine...

husband and wife
I know this man, a friend of mine who has the worst wife ever. All in one day she managed to do laundry that didn’t come out clean, bake banana bread that came out really dry and bake bread that is flat, tasteless and somehow wet AND then to top it off she took a spray can of dark blue paint and wrote graffiti on the kitchen wall thinking it would be better than dirty walls. They’ve...

I love that. she has a real live brain and...

Toothlessness
Earlier today some guy came up to me and wanted to give me this blue sweater he was holding in his hands. He said he had just broken up with his girlfriend and that he had bought her this sweater for Christmas. He said he spent $40 at the Gap on it and he didn’t want to just throw it away. I politely declined by explaining that I couldn’t tolerate wool against my skin. Anyway, he...
