Dude Beer jam

This is how we do it in the desert!





take your pick...







If anyone has any advice about what to do with these two dogs then please tell me. They would fight like this for hours and end up biting and crying. I couldn´t help!

can´t talk now I just met a girl...

The same day one girl leaves another one ends up playing piano IN MY favorite SPOT. What music does she like? Ray Charles!!
RAY CHARLES! Jelly Roll Blues!
She says, I´d really like to learn the piano...or the guitar...but I haven´t met a teacher.

Really?

I´m not in love yet...so that is a great sign. I said, ¨Let´s get together and listen to Ray Charles and figure out the groove.¨
She asked for my digits. Maybe I won´t leave after all.
It´s exciting.
What was I thinking? That other girl was ALL WRONG FOR ME. I gotta have my head examined.


Never count out the man in the van.

emotional times

Yes, it´s been an emotional month. But maybe this is the path to some kind of closure on my general attachment issues and codependency and loneliness. I am trying to live in the moment now so there aren´t any funny anecdotes to report. I´ve taken a housesitting gig in town and am sleeping in a bed for the first time since August. Feeding two dogs, Chico and Chato. And birds.
It is a new month and there is a two week vacation from teaching english to the kids. in fact it was because of that gig that I was asked to take care of the house.
First an foremost is my emotional health which has been living on the corner of breakdown and fragile street. At first I thought a woman was to blame but then, like the Buffett song, I decided I was to blame. There is a longing to return to the eternal mother, the anima, the lady resplendent, but it´s an elusive destination.
