Notes On A Tuesday

I talked to Goldberg for a few minutes last night, and by talked I mean of course communicated online with so maybe it should just be communicated with instead of talked, but that just doesn't have the same sort of ring to it. So we talked. Just for a few minutes and in a typical conversation structure that showed exactly why I get along with him so well. He used the phrase "The Whore Bible" which I've co-opted as the title for the second "book" in the trilogy starting with "A Beginner's Guide To Amateur Stalking" and ending with "I Swear I Thought She Was Eighteen Officer: And Other Lies We Tell". Look for them on the shelves of your local bookstore in the Spring of 2018.

My mother has finished scrubbing all signs of Tim and I from the house, the last thing being the futon from Tim's room being removed. My mother wanted to get rid of it but didn't want to throw it out so Kevin and I moved it into my basement today. I don't know if I will ever use it. I know too much of went on in that room, much of which I must assume involved that futon. Maybe I'll just get a new mattress for it.

Speaking of mattresses, since I had Kevin to help me my mother asked if I could stop by an elderly man from the hardware store's house and move a mattress out for him. I agreed of course and even though she only gave me the gentleman's first name, I for some reason knew who it was right away. When we got to the house I was pleased to see that it was someone I knew from church, and it was good to see that even though he's really getting up there in age he's still kicking fairly well. It was sad though. He's a good guy. He's been living by himself in this little apartment ever since. He has a tough time moving around, always needs a cane and usually needs his scooter. I just can't imagine ever getting that old. Most likely don't have to worry about that, now do I?

Still haven't figure out what do for an Antioch Team get together, hopefully I'll think of something in the next day or two. Did talk (or communicate with as decided earlier in the post) to Adriana for a minute last night, which was cool because I haven't talked to (or communicated with as decided earlier in the post) anyone from team in weeks. Nick also finally gave me a call back last night. It probably had something to do with threatening to show up at his mother's house like we used to back in the day and bang on the window till he came out...of course since he hasn't lived there in months his mother probably wouldn't be too amused. We figure if we want Nick to be able to come out we need to call him 11 days in advance from now on. I wrote a neat little introduction to a short story I'll never write sort of as a writing exercise last night. It felt good to not just be writing, but be really trying to write again. It's been awhile. I'm finishing up the book I'm reading and will be starting on the Marvel Earth X comics soon. After that I'll probably read a history book and concentrate on finding a new author to follow, hopefully someone with a few books out already so I can rip through them all at once.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll write more today, and if you're watching you'll see some of it here. I've been having a hit or miss kind of month so far and am running out of time to get this one back into the solid win column. Maybe it's not possible, but that sure as hell ain't gonna stop me from trying.

Travel well friends. See you soon.
