I’M HOME, YET AGAIN. HAD AN AWESOME TIME. HEARD SOME BIG BAND JAZZ LAST NIGHT… THE GROUP FROM TOKYO WAS AMAZING. SEVERAL MOMENTS OF MY TRIP ARE LOST IN MY MEMORY BUT MOST OF IT I DO RECALL. WENT TO THE GUGGENHEIM AND CHECKED OUT THE ROSENQUIST EXHIBITION. IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE PROGRESSION OF SOMEONE’S WORK FROM OVER 40 YEARS. MADE SOME GOOD PROGRESS IN THE COMMUNICATION FRONT, WITH EVERYONE. AND I THINK I MAY HAVE FIGURED DOWNTOWN OUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. WITH EACH VISIT, I TRY AND LEARN A BIT MORE OF HOW TO GET AROUND.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! LOVE YOU.

INTERESTING DAY. WASN’T TOO BAD, CONSIDERING THE NIGHT BEFORE! NO HEADACHES, NO SORES… WHILE OTHERS DID. VERY ODD. HAD SOME PROGRESSIVE CONVERSATIONS… NOT TRYING TO RESOLVE ANYTHING, JUST GET THINGS OUT. WENT AND SAW BIG FISH TODAY… I THINK I MAY HAVE BEEN ENJOYING THE MOVIE MORE IF I WEREN’T CRAMMED BY DUMB BOY IN FRONT OF ME FROM THE MOVIE’S BEGINNING. PLUS, KNOWING HOW DISAPPOINTING AN EVENING THE ‘BOYS’ WERE HAVING WAS A BIT DEPRESSING. AND IT MADE ME MAD TO THINK ABOUT IT. KEEP STRONG KIDS, AND MOM. I’M GOING TO SCOUR UP SOME FOOD… OUT.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! AND GOOD MORNING… WELL, AFTERNOON AT THIS POINT. IT WAS A LONG NIGHT… VERY LONG. I MADE IT THROUGH JUST FINE THOUGH. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM KETEL ONE! JUST HOPE I DIDN’T EMBARASS MYSELF TOO MUCH. WELL, SOMEONE HAD TO BE OUTSIDE IN THE FREEZING COLD. MAKES IT SEEM REALLY NICE OUTSIDE TODAY THOUGH.
