1 Happy Mondeeeeeee!!!!!!!

3 Somehow we work Monday and Tuesday but not Wednesday this week. Our students have the same schedule.
4 I've lost track of what is happening with the calendar.
5 I think it first happened around Daylight Saving Time.
6 We seem to have been voting on calendars for the past year. It was finally decided that it would be a good idea to have school on Monday and Tuesday.
7 So that's how we teach this week: today and tomorrow and that's it for the week.
8 Camel. Horse. Committee.
9 So it goes.

11 "I don't care what you think, I"m thirsty."
12 Heard this yesterday morning on KGO: So a termite walks into a bar and says, "Say, is this bar tender?"
13
14 Sinful. But wait! Hold that pie.
15 I didn't tell that joke; some guy on KGO told that joke.
16 Ah, nevuhmind.

18 What would YOU teach the youth of America if you had just two days?
19 I'm teaching a whole bunch of them about how much of our history is boushit.

21 Anybody lookin'?
22 You are getting sleepy.
23 SLEEEEEEEPY...
24 A hypnotist wouldn't work on me, 'cuz I am getting sleepy every day.
25 I thought that the Häagen Dazs Matterhorn I downed last night would put me out. I thought wrong.
26 Where was I?
27 Oh yeah.
28 History as boushit.
29 A lot of it is.
30 A lot of it is.
31 Sorry.
32 I asked others what word would work best, and that's consensus.
33 Too much single-bullet stuff over the weekend.
34 Moving on, Part One: How come it takes a musical guy his entire life before he finally turns his office into a studio?
35 Not for recording or anything, but for having a dandy little PA complete with reverb, two speakers, mics, electric/acoustic guitars, and lots of tuners and switches?
36 Last night after a week of single-bullet stuff and JFK overload, I showered, letting the super-hot water trickle down my back. It almost put me to sleep. If I hadn't a good grip on the shower head I would have slipped down the drain. I got clean, both mind and soul. I wanted to wear something nice after all that, but it was a little late.
37 I wound up in a black tee-shirt, pajama shorts, and a black fedora with silk lining and a dandy feather.
37 I looked like I had just garroted some bum in the back seat of '52 Ford.
38 But dapper. Well, as dapper as a fella can look while simultaneously sporting some chic pajama shorts.
39 I spent all day yesterday working. I took care of a bunch of school stuff early, then cleaned my roof, cleaned out the gutters, and by days end felt like a turd on the run.
40 Hot showers. Gotta love them. I got all dapper.
41 I strapped on my guitar, turned a few dials until I got the echo I needed.
42 I love my new/old PA.
43 I got beginner's luck. Everything sounded awesome. I think showers make a person naturally play better. I dove into some fun noodling, very George Martin sorta stuff.
44 I got into this blues riff that sailed. The muses lined up. It didn't sound like normal blues, and I have no idea how I got whatever sound I got. It was more melodic in some odd way.
45 Lyrics worked out nicely too.
46 Ironically I called it the Jack Ruby Blues.
47 I know it sounds like it wouldn't have, but it was really fun. I've been reading a ton about CIA guys and the lives they must live, so it was all about not knowing what your own name is, or who you're supposed to be fooling, or what your profession is supposed to be.
48 Handlers, agent provocateurs, assets, blowback: it had it all.
49 But it was sad. It must be pretty weird being a spy when you really think about it.
50 Okay, okay. My muscles hurt so I took a Nuproxin to knock out a shoulder-ache. It turned me gentle as a daisy.
51 I slipped and fell on my back last week. It hurt, but I never do drugs, hate 'em. I waited; it subsided. But my complaint flared up the two days ago when I went with Nicole and Helene to watch Coley try on her wedding dress.
52 The pain killed me the entire day, and those guys got me that stuff.
53 It almost knocked the pain out.
54 What REALLY knocked me out completely was Nicoley.
55 I can't begin to tellya. She came out and looked like she stepped right out of a Fitzgerald novel. All Gatsby and Cover of Vogue stuff.
56 Stunningly beautiful. Everybody in the wedding shop, including THE Trudy stopped and gazed. My daughter dazzled the place.
57 No pics. Well...I HAVE pics, but I'm not allowed to post.
58 She is going to be a breathtaking bride. I'm going to ask her if it would be okay if our dance could be...the Jack Ruby Blues.
59 What?
60 I'll work on her.
61 Meanwhile, have a GREAT Monday!
62 Anybody lookin'?
63 See you again.
64 Peace.
