stever: Now that the social security mess appears to be cleared up and money is coming in, you’ll have more peace of mind to re-focus on those kind of creative projects. In the old days you when you were working for the lawyers, that sucked your energy, but now that you are settled in a place that you seem to really like, with a lady you really love, there are considerably fewer obstacles in your path, so you can do what you care about and forget the rest. Lord knows, you’ve earned that position in life.

me: true . . . life was always supposed to be a learning, apprenticeship process where it keeps getting better, and it sort of seems true for me. it is true the lawyers were serious soul suckers.

that bottom ad - when i saw it in the supermarket i laughed out loud seeing a man pushing his erect banana penis beneath eve with her evil apple.

got a lot of plans.

think lady should do a foto book, or maybe even the two of us.

when we get Criminal published, we’re going to use it to push for a book of her poetry, a book of mine, and a book of our collabs.

she’s also turning a lot of our conversations into comic strips, which would make a fine book.

she’s also getting back to her fictionalized non-fiction past called Fat Girl.

and we both think there’s got to be a book or 2 in our 1,000 blogs.

plus i still have to write my novel i’ve been pondering 31 years.

and there’s got to be more.

(I guess it’s a good thing I can’t hear on a cell…)
