the air is heavy here in the city
not even june yet
i gots my toyoter pumping cool air
as it lumbers up the hills
(there are no hills in detroit?!?!?)
The Detroit baseball Tigers are rounding
all the bases and The Edmonton hockey
Oilers are lighting all the lamps... these
things make me happy most of the time
(what about yer Cubs? they suck)

"Hope does not just walk up to you
I could have told you that, I'm not an idiot"

Haven't quite nailed down a theme for the summer
early on last year became the Summer of Rum
(of course Club Soda will be involved)

My girl is angry with the Pistons (i guess that's goin around)
how'd we'all get so caught up in athletic competition?
it must be World Cup year! GOAAAAAAAAAL!

But hey now, it's been about a year and i'm still hanging
with Nora Jean. She's got terrific heart, mind, smiles, and laughs

Spent some time on Lake Conesus with losfriars.blogspot.com
rode the night-train outa ohio with Pirata to meet up in
Rochester with Chivo and L'aro. quite a cloud of peoples on
the lake and in the air. i love my boys and i'm thinking Wegeman's.
Jon Todt sings a mean Folsom Prison Blues and everyone at
Mutz tavern in Toledo knows it!!!
Guatamalans make great Guacamole
(but who didn't know that)
and if you want to make some one drink a bloody mary (even if it's spilt)
JUST ADD FRESH GINGER

Two plays on the horizon:

All Childish Things on June 23rd

Closer in September
(Breathe Art Theatre group in Windsor and at 1515 Broadway DETROIT)

spent a wonderful evening with my lady last friday
barbeque at the too too trendy slows
(but damnit it is good eats)
then off to the Cliff Bells for some hot jazz by
Gino and the Gypsy Strings
Dining, Drinking and Dancing
in this beautiful hurt city
which refuses to die

much love

a hilarious quote from a purple checked bedecked don cherry last night on hockey night in canada. and what a glorious night!!!

the Edmonton hockey Oilers (as travis would say) defeated the Detroit (Goliath) Redwings!!!
the oilers remain perfect in playoff history with this menace of a detroit team!!
fernando pisani and ales hemsky leading the way with two goals each!
TAKE THAT KEN PAGE!!!!

watched the game last night with huff, the roadys and Patrick "white heat" Moltane!!
all rooting for the wings
my molsen goldens tasted sumblime!!

Viva la OilerNation!!

will soon be delivering some non sports edification... but at the moment i'm too wrapped up in
hockey... really takes me back to my formative years of edmonton obsession.

i'll have to go read some marquez or neruda to replenish the real beauty of life which has been replaced by this temporary euphoria!!

i've finally left the island

no more lurking sand...
the helicopter arrived and whisked
me back to my palace in Assyria
said goodbyes to my cohort the Architect
and now i'm once again enveloped in reality

good times on closing weekend... d.b. dax anderson
in attendence and apparently rendered speechless
for the first time in his life... the always entertaining
professor james luce along for the ride as well...
i had a wonderful time the last couple of months but
it feel nice to put this monster to rest at last!!

on to lighter boulders to lift and the blue skies of tomorrow

li lo mil loo loo

p.s. the oilers are up 3-2 on the wings... i'm still scared sarge
but oh a victory tonight would be sweet! cuban sandwiches
all around!
