Happy Birthday To Me (41, yuck).

My wife is outta town (tho she did send me some fancy Elizabeth Ryan flowers), my kids are sick. "Self"-employed for a bit too long (though I'm actually getting a One Man Show going finally). If I had a dawg, he'd a-died.

Rob Brezsny says last night I dreamed my oldest Gemini friend told me, "The bee fertilizes the flower it robs." Because I have had the very same dream other times over the years, usually late in the month of May, I have come to understand its predictive meaning: Many Geminis all over the world will soon commit a benevolent "theft."

Woulda bought myself a Handspring Treo (90) PDA, but decided I have to earn it by launching my One Man Show first.

Took myself out to lunch (nothin special), bought a pint of appropriate-named Chubby Hubby for post-dinner (would have taken the kids out but they're too wasted).

Bought myself some tunes. So far grooving on Friday Night In San Francisco MUPC:74646516829 and "The Very Best of the Tower Of Power" MUPC:81227434526 (Is It Hip?).
