I’m Not Dead…Yet

November 30, 2002 etc.

I’m Not Dead…Yet Man, I gotta hand it to those terrorists: they did a good job when they made this virus I’ve got. It’s sneaky–just when I think I’m getting better, it sucker punches me, leaving me writhing like a purple worm on a hot road and gagging into the puke bucket. I haven’t been [...]

Back At It

November 3, 2002 etc.

Back At It Back from my trip to Waco. Good trip, bad flight, same old story. But I’m back, re-oriented and re-focused.
