I've got to call Ricardo Flowers and reschedule that financial planning meeting.  I better call Amtrak, too, about fare to Oceanside.  I ought to wind up my clock.  The Braves and Padres are coming on.  I'm drinking a beer I couldn't finish last night [pencil sketch of a polaroid of my grandma holding me when I was a baby by the apartment swimming pool in Hollywood].  That's a picture of me with my grandmother Vera Cosgrove Eaton Norfolk.  An Omen-like rip in the photo passes right between my eyes.  Yuccas stab at Granny, but we look happy together. 
The Insanity Pepper is supposed to be stopping in after he goes to Jiffy Lube.  Our friend Steve is going to be doing some work at the Pepper's sister's house up the street.  I actually wrote a few third-person [a pencil drawing of a martini] lines last night.  I picked up my camera the other day.  I haven't taken any pictures with it yet.  I can't think at all.  Maybe I should have another cup of coffee.  Should I study more after this?  Marlins, Yanks, Braves, Strike, Jays, Jays, Twins, Reds, A's, LA, Twins, Mets, Royals, Tigers, Orioles, Cards, LA, Philly, Pitt, Yanks, Yanks, Red, Reds, A's A's A's, Pitt, O's, Mets, Tigers, Cards, O's, LA, NY, LA, NY, NY, Pitt, LA  Bill, Bush, Ron, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, JFK, Ike, HST, FDR, Hoover, Coolidge, Harding Woodroow, Taft, Teddy
