SUNDAY
Hello Again!
I'm still here. Recent weeks I have been wandering off in fantasy after fantasy. I admit I'm drifting. My bio-rhythms occasionally ease into a dry spell.
In the middle of all this I got a Toshiba Tecra 500 CDT. A lady received it as a gift in 1996. She never used the laptop. It sat in a drawer for seven years! After her death her son gave it to a friend who sold it to me for $50. It had everything from Win95 and all the original Toshiba material! Amazing. I will up grade the RAM this week.
Imagine putting a brand new car in a garage and leaving it there seven years!
I am having fun!

Iraq is a mess and now Saudi is getting the misery! This to shall pass.

Sunday
We are having an old fashion heatwave. Hot days and warm nights SF is packed with tourists and plenty of kids running about having fun. Lovers are on the street and they add charm to the moment.
Angry protesters are here as well. The war is turning sour and the country has yet to decide how to react. The protesters at present are mostly older and obviously just frustrated dreamers who have been complaining for years. But, all the while there are hints that the middle class is becoming weary. I have contended from the start that the Bush Administration has over stressed the country as it is. 911 is fading as a critical emotional issue. If Howard Dean can assure the country he is no radical he may well be elected as the country decides it has had enough of Bush and his endless rage at the world.

The Iranians have started along the track used by North Korea. They are offering a suspension of their nuclear program as an incentive to the United States. In reality they have reached credibility as a nuclear power and can wait until the right moment to make the bombs. N. Korea acted the same in 2002. Once they knew they had the right ingredients to build a bomb they suspended the program. The US and Europe know this fact. But the propaganda edge goes to Iran at this time. They can claim self defense in the face of Bush Administration belligerence and the right of self protection.
In a few months the US will make new demands and the threats will start all over again.
Iran is hoping Bush will be defeated in 2004. N. Korea is hopping the same. Who ever the n ext president is, they will face a nuclear Iran and N. Korea.
George Bush's "Axis of Evil" remark has cost us dearly.

Hello!
I've been away for a few weeks but I'm back. My infected tooth is history and my sinus troubles have faded away.
California has a new Governor, and I'll wager he runs from exhilaration to dread several times an hour.
The Red Soxs and Cubs came so close. They were wonderful. Maybe next year. The World Series will be a bust unless the Marlins really go after the Yankees and they won't.
Life goes on. More death in Iraq and more lies in Washington.
People eventually get wise to the bullshit and vote accordingly.

the Bush Administration is responding well to the Wilson scandal. I doubt this will go anywhere.
2
Amazing stories coming from Gauntanamo. Three translators arrested on taking information out of Camp Delta. It is remarkable that the US military seems to have stumbled badly here. I don't know any more than you, but there's a whiff of real scandal here. Has Al Quada reached the detainees in Cuba? If it is possible we are in real trouble. Or is this just desperate men trying to communicate with friends and family? In WW2 Allied troops in Germany's POW camps did the same kind of thing.

The recall is entering it's last days. Arnold seems to be on his way to becoming governor. I do hope he can bring the budget crisis to a reasonable end.

Started Not Far From Here again. This time it's for real. A basic story with a savage ending. Man meets woman in 1999 at a summer camp. They have a sweet one night stand. Adults doing adult things, no complications. They meet again a week later but argue over things that are unrelated to their situation, They drift apart. The man meets a second woman in the middle of all this and he is fascinated by the "Celestial" Photos she sells. The next summer he sees the photo lady again, she is now divorced and they have a casual affair. He sees the other woman several times. They do talk and there's a bit of regret over what seems to have been lost. The summer ends and with it the affair and selling photos. The third summer comes, and the man meets the women again, both want him and he spends three months trying to decide what he wants. The summer ends but he can't let go. Great evil comes and their lives are shattered. A brother is lost and a sister is suddenly forced to see life in a radically different way. The man sees in the sister what he has always suspected. The other woman is wonderful and deserves him, but he can't give himself to both of them.
Not Far From Here has consumed me for almost three years. But now it's ready and I'll write the third and final draft.
I feel wonderful. Life has a glow, I know I'm where I was struggled to be for a long time. Let the final thrill begin. It will take four months. By January 12th 2004 I'll be finished.
Wonderful!
