Now is the time for all Walloonians to come to the aid of their country; or, great wisdom from simple people

Actually, just a few random thoughts today.

I'm beat - a habit I have when under stress is to work maniacally, get minimal sleep and wait to crash. I acknowledge that that's not a real healthy way to manage stress, but it's my way. After all, I can't use either food or booze, so I gotta improvise.

This church thing is getting weirder and weirder. An apostate like me in a church? Look, I went along with this to provide some company and support for my mother - a couple of hours a week for something that's important to her is not that big a deal. But now I seem to be looking forward to the experience. We went to a no-kidding church supper tonight. What's next? Gathering around the TV to watch Milton Berle? The darn place is accepting, even of me; loving; there's no macho posturing; nobody seems to be guarded in their interactions. It just ain't my kind of environment.

Huge blow-up in the WV Masonic organization - This is not Masonic, it's moronic. One would think that such people would sit down and talk and reason together and actually practice the brotherhood that gets taught, rather than go at one another hammer & tongs.

Darn it, I need a bag of cookies. I need a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin. This clean living is going to kill me. I need somewhere to swing my tomahawk.

"All the things of my life are present, and it is a good day to die."

Mizpah.
