Today’s Update Part One
Haven't written since before Thanksgiving. Reason? Unbelievably ill. (Not food poisoning. Just some random illness on top of being really tired.)
Been listening to music the last couple of days. [Someone] bought me a pair of Maxell earphones for an early birthday present. Wonderful, specially since someone accidentally destroyed my last pair over a week ago. No music might've been one reason I haven't felt well the last several days. It does soothe the soul.
Just listened to three great songs in a row. Bob Seger's West of The Moon, Neil Diamond's And The Singer Sings His Song (the type of song I wish he still sang), and right now I'm in the middle of Jackson Browne's The Road (from Running On Empty -- when he was autobiographical and really, really good.)
Also been looking back at my old comic strip collections. (I've got books --- stuff like Doonesbury and For Better or For Worse --- and actual strips from newspapers --- more recent stuff, smaller collections. Everybody thinks I'm a pack rat, but I'm really a collector.) Looking at them all has given me an idea about a new page for the site. History in a comic nutshell sort of thing.
(I have another update ready to load up. In about five minutes. But it's deeply personal and kind of strange and not exactly completely coherent. Not that this one is either.)
Well, there are other holidays to come. (Wonder why no one calls them Holy Days. Maybe because we've wrung all the Holy out of them.)
(Did I mention there might be at least one curse word in the next update? No. Well, there is one. ---The d-word. D-A not D-I. What kind of person do you think I am? --There used to be another one, but I edited it because I didn't feel like alienating any new people. The word I edited begins with an f.)
So, in case I don't write for a long time for some reason. Have many happy Holy Days. (Whichever ones you like.)
