In no particular order:
- Bought milk
- Noted changes in hair on several locations over body
- Voted for Obama. Subsequent initiation rite/code access, discreet tattoo (needs touch-up) signifying bearer as Chosen, free(!) t-shirt and collectible mug
- Read “Don Quixote” (OK, no, not all of it. Sue me.)
- Quit work
- Cheered at school-age sporting events
- Learned to play opening riff to “Working Man”
- Thought about that one time
- Finally made time to watch “Point Break” in entirety. Spent entire movie thinking Gary Busey was Nick Nolte.
- Made some friends, lost some friends
- Plotting
- Finally got the upper hand with those damned dandelions
- Set foot north of the Arctic Circle. Set foot in Oklahoma. Enjoyed both immensely.
- Came this close to telling those kids to get out of my yard
- Managed to avoid possible negative side effects
- Read Heraclitus’ saying regarding how no man can step into the same river twice because it is not the same river and he is not the same man. Stepped into river. Waited. Checked map; same river. Checked driver’s license; same man. So, what the hell is this shit?
- Two words: Meniere’s Disease
- Hiked a bit
- Went to concert. Heard Ozzy utter phrase, “There’s one in every crowd.” There’s one in every crowd. Maybe step up your game, Heraclitus. Because I heard some serious Truth at that Emmylou Harris concert.
- Observed the inevitable aging of my beloved parents with mix of sad resignation and trepidation
- Deftly avoided stepping in freakishly large pile of dog feces
- Sank into serious-soul-sucking-employment-rut that lead to well-intended-but-largely-unsuccessful-and-thus-ultimately-dismaying attempts at self-reinvention
- Vacuumed (guest area)
- That whole unpleasant business which left me psychologically and physically scarred, and left an ongoing sense of loss in my life
- Became entirely wireless, experienced heretofore unimagined levels of freedom and capriciousness
- Bicycling more, driving less
- Plodding
- Binge watching “Archer”
- Recorded a couple albums and toured. Lost money on the whole venture. Nevertheless, continued.
- Learned to love in ways previously unknown to me
- Picked up some eggs, too
