Spouse made biscotti. Really crunchy. My favorite ones. I just had to get the vacuum and finally tear the whole bed apart. Now it's clean, and I'm eating some little Jolly Rancher hard candies I found. Pretty stupid. Each other one I open goes all over the spread in little sticky shards.

It was seventy and sunny yesterday. But today it's eighty two. NO ONE can believe it.

It is sometimes easier to do things for friends than for ourselves. Our sense of outrage and action is more clarified.

The strip bar in Neartown is giving away free beer, because they had their license to sell beer revoked. That's kind of an Old Oregon type behavior. Like when I first came here. Wanna go? Oregon literally has the prettiest women. Nice. Not uhm rubber-puffy. A real aesthetic experience. Ala Loie Fuller. Sarah Bernhardt. Uhm huh.

Spouse doesn't care. Maybe if I drink way too much.

We can designate a driver. 'Cause the cops always shine their kilowatt flashlights in your eyes when you stop by the dairy to pee. The cool part is that being drunk is not illegal. Neither is telling them to eff off.

Leave your guns here, though. Do you have a carry permit? Norton does. We'll designate him.

Spouse goes with me to "Glitter Gulch" in Las Vegas. That place is a hoot. Bizarre and fun. There's a world class art collection at Steve Wynn's new place. And they have a stock car track ~ spouse's favorite sport. No kidding. I need to take her to one of those. She's terrific. Should write someone for a pit pass. She'd die.

Just took my "boat" for a spin. My Concept II racing ergometer, actually, a rowing machine. Set it up for the first time in almost three years, had to put it away when I put home office into my bedroom, now that my mother has finally moved out, I have room for it. It felt good, worked my muscles in all the right places, stretched all the stiff spots - - where the delts insert in the shoulders, and the lumbar region, and the quads. I think it worked some of the fluid out of the knees, too, definitely worked some out of the ankles. Maybe I'll be able to take my Alden Ocean Shell out this summer, after all. Used to have fantasies of getting a rowing dory, I could probably fish from that, or at least drift and nap.
