a switch within the ear to follow

far-away shot of my cold quinoa salad: my first time: it wasn't bad

a.m.g. checking out my cold quinoa salad: kinda spicy: really good: she appears skeptical

it snowed so i drove: sorry earth: it won't happen again

beautiful

these are boise's geese: they never leave, never migrate: i think they got lost here a hundred years ago and just decided that it would be easier to stay: some people hate them: i think they are lovely: even when they shit all over: it is nice to find animals that are true to each other & true to a place

this is no lay-over

this gull is a goner without its ocean

dead flowers outside the door

this little dilly came all the way from Romania: (he,he...a funny note got caught in that picture: "poetry: it has to be some kind of disorder")

very excited about this fella': he deserved a spot on the fridge

i've been getting lots of postcards lately: 3 right here!: chagall: others: very caring friends one & all

it's hard to see but think of a sea/ condensed into a speck

i do like horses

e. trying to make it look like something

i'm not quite sure

someone left a pumpkin pie at my door the night before thanksgiving: i was a happy boy

work was a bit slow the other night: i had to resort to something: @ the request of my boss to my right

i went to visit my neighbor, e., in her new apartment: she finally has lots of places to put things

i wonder if e. has ever lived in a place with so little on the walls: it all looks very nice

:

a.m.g. brought christmas early this year

she thinks pretty hard about these things: exactly what i've wanted for quite a while

my alley was hard to find this morning: not really sure why i was even looking for it

:

found 2 great albums this morning: neil young, on the beach & the national, boxer

as many/ as many

not sure if listening to this on repeat is working to my great benifit or detriment

a little bit sad that i might potentially be spending my thanksgiving alone staring at this scene for the next 5 days: i haven't been to montana in one year (today): i'm not sure if all this is a result of me being a. responsible, b. disorganized, c. self-pitying, d. overwhelmed, e. level-headed, f. motivated, or g. steffen: regardless, i feel like throwing myself into violent waves & then walking to the nearest diner in my wet clothes & ordering 42 orders of biscuits & sausage gravy

@ "thai cuisine" they call these things "golden bags": i couldn't resist

c. & a.m.g leg wrestling: what ever happened to board games?

i am here

:

this kind of reminds me of high school

a. & c. having it out

trouble ahead

:

c. made it the whole night

though both can sing i'm not sure either can play a lick

a.k. looking darker than usual

at long last: i've been waiting for this beauty: thanks, mom: nice thick pages

went to the restaurant supply store for no good reason at all

the days ramp away
