- So I'm off to volunteer for the Clearwater Festival this weekend; surrounded by thousands of tree hugging, vegetarian liberals. I'll just have to make the best of it... 
I'm being mercenary, actually, I'm just going, to get Pete Seeger's autogragh, before he goes to the big political-revival-hootenany in the sky.
- Ahh, but there will also be boats there...!

-- Any of you change jobs alot?
- This year I'm painting the interior of new homes.
- Last year I was a landscaper.
- Year before, I was 2d Mate on a replica of a 1625 Dutch sailing ship, and did three boat deliverys up and down the east coast, and in Central America.
- Three previous years, I put the pictures on billboards along highways, and on rooftops.
- Before that, I crewed a schooner in NY, and helped build a tall ship in DE.
- How about you...

I'm not really dead, I've just been distracted by my blonde nymph friend, whose been in town for the week!
My Dad died in '89, and yes, I still miss him. So last night I had this really weird dream...
I was somewhere, I can't recall where, and there's my Dad, sitting on a chair, at a table. It was very strange, one of those absolutely life-like, real-feeling dreams, I thought it was real... So I pinched him, to see if he was real or dream, and I felt him, and he was real! I made him get up and hug me. I hugged him desparately, like a man parched from being lost in the desert, drinks, for the first time. I pressed him into me hard, feeling his soft, frail body against mine, against my chest, my cheek, and I began to cry. I wept violently, unashamedly, medicinally, like a dam breaking, and releasing all that pressure. It felt good. I thought it was real. Whoa...
And then, I slowly woke up... and realized it was just a dream.
I don't remember if I wept for real, or just in the dream, but it woke me up...
Man, that was bizarre...
And I still miss him...

So, if you could vacation anywhere, where would you go?
- Me, Spain. Love the architecture, food, and wine. Speak a little of the language. And it's several political, linguistic, and geographical countries, all in the same country, what fun!!
- Second choice would be island hopping on a sailboat, just about anyplace warm...
- Unfortunately, the closest I'm going to get anytime soon, is a weekend in Gloucester (schooner ride though...)!

- So me and the Wild Woman had the little talk. And she's OK having sex with no committment. Why throw away fun and affection, if there's no one else around? It's even a source of comedy now! Cool, part time playmate for the summer.
- And this way, there's no way we can cheat on each other - bwahahahahaha!!

- So money is starting to get very tight, and some companies are paying folks many thousands of dollars a month to work in foreign countries. Oh yeah, there is that small problem of possibly being blown up...hence the enormous salaries...
- I was there the first time, in 90-91, and I wasn't making nearly $10K a month, but it was safer...
- Hmmm, how hungry am I for the money... And my family would probably freak, and try to tie me to a tree...

- Off to Florida this morning, to a wedding I can't afford! Thank goodness for credit cards.
- But it will be fun. It's the last of the cousins, except for me, of course. So I'm seeing lots of family, plus two old friends who've lived in FL for years, "Old Home Week". Keeping connected with family is important to me, so if it takes credit to participate, I'm in!
