Hey man, not too shabby.

Drunken Halloween, now "cleansing", being on the wagon, etc. Lots of work. Friend dying quickly.

Everything else is routine, and therefore ok, I suppose.


Can't wait to see the pics. Anything of particular interest happening over there?
scheisskopf:
Yeah, shit... especially as a cook, I would imagine. Sorry, I'm not making fun, it's just that I lived there, and I can only imagine.

Sorry, by the way, I wasn't able to follow through. Things have gotten pretty tight around here as well.

Give em hell!

That looks like fun! It seems better than a bunch of kids begging for candy.
I am also shooting for 3,000-4,000 on the first day....2,400 and I still have a few hours left.
Bonne chance avec cela, mon ami!

I'm about ready to explode.

I want to start writing now, but I am being patient. The desire to tell this story is dangerously obsessive. I want to be rid of this imbedded barb that I have been carrying for all these years. I've been sleepless, my mind writing the prose across the chalkboard inside my head, simple, honest prose. I am an American writer,...

I tried endlessly to find a video of this song, but to no avail...


Flipped into the wind
Like the ashes of her cigarette
He got scattered thrown on the breeze
As he tried to forget
He lost all his heat
And his heart never will be the same
He got lighter than air
But he'll only come down in the rain

Strung out and...

Plotting what? Pirating adventures? A course across the Aegean?

What's the song.

Next- hunkering down, writing, working , avoiding complications.

This has nothing to do with the rest of the blog, but I am happy, calm and content. The love and support I have found in this country is just astounding and I am infinitly grateful. I haven't been so at ease in recent memory. Thank you. You know who you are.

Now, on to buisness!




The 60's.

The twentieth century has had it's fair...

That family reunion is fantastic stuff. Reminds of my Mom's family. They are from Kentucky.

I've been back nine days and had fried chicken four times. And lots of sweet tea. I never even liked sweet tea before.

France is the place, huh?
neakylikeaninja:
Sounds amazing.
And, the French don't know about pumpkin pie?? You have to teach them, then. They don't know what they're missing!!

The cold is a nice change. We'll see how I feel about that by the end of the week. My cough is annoying.

Meh. That's all I got.

I am enjoying the cold...

...agreed on the cough though, mine is driving me nuts but not as much as the sinus pressure.

I'm not sure whether or not you would call the Sunset Cafe a bar or a club. If you had to break it down it is probably a little of both like almost all bars in France. A damp cellar, stone walls, smoke, sweat, no proper ventilation. A stuffy stone death trap with arched ceilings. The bartender is a platinum blonde with tattoos, she always...

There is much to tell. Alas the hangover only permitted me to write down half of it. I'll post it tomorrow. I love this time of day.
