Oh, I suppose we could have just asked Sulu. He knew exactly what we were looking for. Sorry about raping your mind and all.

Sometimes she sits on
my mind like a fog, waiting
to be burned away.

State Fair Update, Day Four: Not a lot to say today. Most of today went prtty well. Crowded, but mellow. It was firefighter's day. There was a whole lot of fire trucks and equipment and demonstrations on display on Main Street. I reunited a kid with his parents. It felt good, as usual.

What I learned today: Sometimes people on prozac flip the hell out.

State Fair Update, Day One:

These updates are for my own tired-ass amusement and to post somethhing in the effort to generate responses.

What kind of job do you have, exactly? Are you casino security or a state officer or...?
It always bothers me to hear about situations like that. I hate seeing women in situations where they are afraid to do what they know they need to. A guy raised his hand to me ONCE, and I left and never looked back...but I know so many women that get into that "I can change him" thing. It makes me sad. I wish you could've helped her more...but as long as she doesn't admit she wants help to get out, you and no one else can do anything.
I still think you're cool, though. smile

I was in Albuquerque last summer for an anthropology trip with college...we went all over the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area, and visited Chaco Canyon. It was a really great trip. New Mexico is BEAUTIFUL!

Back from a long break. Think I'll actually use the journal this time to keep track of my meanderings.

My shoulder is finally healed enough where I can train again. Useful tip: Don't arm wrestle Army Rangers unless you have to.

I somehow convinced myself I had to . . .l
