a new day dawns and the gravy train is over

well, things are looking up, i guess. mitch got a big fat "new jobs" type of grant for michigan, so i will now be going back to work. the days of bon bons, soap operas and tears over dead kids in lebanon and iraq etc.... are over. i suppose the sadness is still there because i know if i had grown up in one of those societies, i would be right there at the bottom of the socio-economic heap and in the cross hairs of random violence. but i'm here by my boot straps, so my tasks at hand involve looking out for #1 and #1's progeny. so i've got a good job making molecules, and that's what i'm good at doing. and my kids have new shoes.

i've heard through the grapevine that east lansing hardcore's poet laureate, "joyner", is back in the usa after chasing his soul to europe for a summer. i still have to check out his "peacock throne" blog. if i were any kind of a real human being, i would make that a link, but alas, i fall flat on that too. anyway, i must say that it is a comfort in my old age to keep in touch with my dearest friends. by the way, does anyone know what ever happened to doc dart, now known as "26" these days?

is there anything else to say? who knows. mitch is in san fran now for a meeting and i am a few glasses of wine down the road so it seems like the case is closed. i think of all sorts of things i could write, but when i do get here to write it, all is forgotten. plus i still can't figure out the stupid spell check button. is it because i have a mac that it doesn't work?? oh torment to my soul. i don't feel like proof reading this post so what is here is what you get!
