Glory. It is a beautiful day. Soft clouds, 65-70 degrees. Kirk gave it a, “Man, kind of feels like fall out here!” as he mosied out to chat with us. We enjoyed the cool afternoon, shootin’ the shit outside the office.

10 days to go in August. I love the fall and can’t wait to savor those cool, brisk days.

Watched “Caligula” last night. Little bit shocked, little bit bored, little bit interested.

I have an application being processed for a little joint up on Hawthorne. Good little place. Hardwood floors, clean, mellow neighborhood, close to work. I’m excited to make it mine for the winter.

Sonic Youth is coming next week. They are doing a little freebie in-store performance up in NW Portland. I’m gonna go check that out, just to get a good look at them. I like the new album. Good stuff.

Been listening to a lot Bob Dylan lately. It is strangely comforting.

Oh yeah, I’ve been teaching myself to type also. This is a big step for me. I can “hunt and peck” like the best of ‘em, but feel shame in my backwoods methods. I envy my colleagues who can type all proper and professional. Slow and steady. My goal is to be able to hit a good 40 words or so.
