the best way to get to California

There's always somebody knows where you're at. Knows where and why. For the most part.
Are you talkin about God?
No. I'm talkin about you.
She ate. Well, she said. You'd be in a fix if you didnt know where you was at.
I dont know. Would you?
I dont know.
Suppose you was someplace that you didnt know where it was. The real thing you wouldnt know was where someplace else was. Or how far it was. It wouldnt change nothin about where you was at.
She thought about that. I try not to think about stuff like that, she said.
You think when you get to California you'll kind of start over.
Them's my intentions.
I think maybe that's the point. There's a road goin to California and there's one comin back. But the best way would be just to show up there.
Show up there.
Yeah.
You mean and not know how you got there?
Yeah. And not know how you got there.
I dont know how you'd do that.
I dont either. That's the point.
She ate. She looked around. Can I get some coffee? she said.
- Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men, pp. 226-7

hi5

i'm trying to figure out a way to give high-fives online.

you know, high-fives. but this time: online!

it seems to me like we need an acronym for this sort of thing. an emoticon.

or maybe that's the point of a high-five. that that's it. it is what it is: two arms upraised, two hands slapping. yeah!

there is no possible substitute.

you just have to time it right.

Friday

yay area

it's good to be back.

Conan is awesome. Baron, his beard and the rest of the War-eee-yers -- and Oracle Arena -- are simply unstoppable, baby. (just look at how excited Carlos is!) and, it's fiesta time this weekend.

yay! area!

idea: let's melt a couple more bridges around here and really get crazy.

Wednesday

i spilled milk last night

didn't cry. ha ha ha...

fart.

some friends cooked a wonderful lasagna dinner tonight. they told everyone that she is pregnant and he is responsible and they are excited about their (literally) growing future together. they looked truly happy, receiving so many callbacks from relatives.

some fantastic playoff basketball. Pads won. poker. fun.

i weigh 190 pounds. not sure how.

driving distances alone, with only your ipod and your thoughts is quite meditative and nice. there is a soothing rhythm to such travel, a natural quiet flow. an audiobook, some music, some comedy. mix it up. think about

possibility.
