yeah i'd like to get an e-mail from you from the
train. i used to be able to get e-mail on my cell
but the service went away. ??? don't ask, i don't
know why. i've been riding the bus to work about
four days a week for the past four years - they put
in an express route that only takes 10 minutes longer
than driving... it's nice to have the time to read
and i've gotten to know all the regulars (and the
irregulars) and drivers, and, and, and, just people
that i otherwise would never meet, like students,
a hippie attorney, a couple of computer geeks, winos,
indians... you know... just people.

i was saddened to hear of ché's cancer and heart
attack. he used to call me about midnight and we'd
talk about qcom and losing our asses in the market
and trips to cuba and life - he's such a great
character - he looks like richard dreyfus and has
the same kind of hyper and funnie personality too.
i haven't heard from him for the past couple years,
except for the occasional odd post on SI. we were
pretty close because we were born within 30 days of
each other so we have a lot of common life experiences
and similar worldviews... lots of things to share and
talk about. and of course, lucinda williams has the
hot, hot, hots for both of us. <g>
he's as generous a dude as i know. he'd give you his
shrit or his shoes - never holds back on his opinions...
he speaks what's on his mind - but at the same time he
doesn't make personal attacks on people. he's smart,
witty, wise and kind... a pretty good combination, i
must say. i hope he recovers and blesses the planet
with 40 more years of his personality.

speaking of cancer...
toni's is back...
with a vengeance. i talked to her today. it's in
her other lung, her liver, and several other places.
she talked to me like someone would talk to their
kids... like she's more concerned about how badly
i feel than she is about dying. she's never once
in the past two years shown even an ounce of self
pity - she's soooo mature, soooo comforting to her
friends and family - always with that beautiful
smile too... i try to soak up all the maturity
and wisdom i can - if i lived only on my own
wisdom and emotion i'd be an immature punk... we
get so much from others in life... so much to
learn, so little time to grow up.

oh man. yer post to coach19 was great. the duffy
story was soooo funnie. you are better than dave barry
(and i think dave barry is a genius comedy writer)
and incidentally... you hit a werdball home run
with this: The dog takes a deep breath of frustration...
"of frustration" is the unexpected phrase...
but it's the perfect one.
outta the park. poetry.

thanks for the posts.
it's been a depressing week.
:(
yer fren,
