Say you have to be at work at six-thirty in the morning.  And say you go to bed at ten-thirty.  Then let's say you look at the clock and it says eleven-thirty, and you think to yourself, "Wow, I'm pretty much not tired."  Say all those things happen, and when they happen, what do you do?

Do you think to yourself, "Boy, I bet I know someone else who isn't sleeping, and I bet that someone else wouldn't be averse to drinking gin until last call?"  Do you, moments after having said thought, call up said friend and invite them to the space room for stiff gin drinks?  Do they accept your invitation and spend the rest of the night drinking well gin at rock bottom prices?  One and one half hours into the whole affair does someone walk over to the free-of-charge juke box and put on some Al Green?  Does hearing Al Green make you wish inside that you could hear "Let's Stay Together?"  Does Jesus intervene and make the next song to play be none other than "Let's Stay Together?"  Does everyone in the bar decide that "Let's Stay Together" is the kind of song that makes them want to sing along?  Do you join in the chorus?

Do you order one last gin drink to celebrate a rare good fortune?  Do you follow it up with another gin drink to celebrate your last gin drink?  Does your companion commend you outside the space room for ordering a radio cab?  Do you tell your companion that you didn't order no fucking cab, but that you intend to drunk drive, but that it's cool, you're just going over the bridge?

Is Jesus a little disappointed in you, after all he's done to make your night special?  In spite of his disappointment, does Jesus allow you to get home without incident?  Fucking A, that Jesus, man, huh?  He's pretty alright, don't you think?

So, lets say all this happens, and you make it home, alive and well.  Let's say you open the fridge and find a beer.  Let's say you open that beer and make with the drinking of it.  Does your head fill up with questions?

Yeah, pmike, I'm alive and well, and as you point out, neglecting the blog. I don't feel like writing much anymore, can't say that I know why. Wish I did, because right now I have a lot of questions that I think could be solved by the same answer.

In any case, it is good to hear from you, I hope things are going well.
