Fall Backward

Daylight Savings Time!!! A-whole-nother hour to do whatever I want! I took that extra hour and I got up out of bed and I put some music on and I danced like Moses before the Lord! (He didn't? No, I'm pretty sure he did. Maybe it's not in your version)

What a day. I woke up and it was cloudy and drizzling - which is a thing to be relished in Los Angeles. I took my lady and spent the morning at a farmer's market (farmers' market?), where the skies cleared up and we shopped for real produce beneath real blue skies. In Hollywood, no less. Everyone was in a good mood due to the weather. People were smiling, smelling the fruit, dancing to the street musicians, and trading suggestions for what to do with sprouted lentils. I walked down to Amoeba records afterward and picked up a used copy of Jack Johnson's last album.

Which turned out to be surprisingly serious.

I got home and we did the dishes, the laundry, and still had time to go see a movie (Mike Leigh's "Happy Go Lucky" - good movie). During the previews, I heard the line, "This family thinks they're normal but they're not!" and I realized that the great thing about my family is that they think they're not normal but they are. I love them for that.

What a day. I wished it rained every night.

I so miss you guys. I know how hard it is right now re the business but things will start to change over the next two quarters - hang in there.

I was talking to a couple of Chadians after Obama's win and they said maybe they should find an American white woman, marry her for a brief period, take her money, get her pregnant, and then abandon her and come back to Chad. Their reasoning - look what the Kenyan fucker did for America - he gave you Obama. I reminded them that for their plan to work they have to come back to Chad and die.

Back to the drawing board for the Chadians.

BTW - I hope you've spoken with your mom lately. She's done a great job on getting us settled on the plantation - no shit - Coffee Bluff Plantation. Abercorn!

Much love
Pops

Awww, that's a fabulous way to put it :) The world needs more normal families that think they are weird.

Umm, I'm pretty sure you're all fucked up enough to be considered abnormal. I could look it up if you want, I have time. Ha! My check in word is "skycat." How fucking cool is that?! Skycat! Wumpspew!
