Man, the abuse I am getting on Facebook for posting this quick and tasty snack. It’s mild Italian sausage, diced and added to some good ol’ Ramen noodles.
Hey, it works for me.
My friends actually have a loooooong history of disapproving of my culinary choices. As always, that just means there’s more for me.
Or entropy or ennui. Seriously, have you ever been there?

art of combining haiku
with Tai Chi — hai-chi.
*A college pal suggested to me that “Tai-ku” might actually be the better portmanteau here. I admit he’s got a point.
Construction proceeds slowly but surely off Campbell Avenue at the site of the now-extinct bus station.
I love the phrase “extinct bus station” — like it was too big and slow to adapt, and stone age hunters ran it down to oblivion.
A woman I know is into Wicca (or Druidism, possibly?). I don’t know. She needed a lighter for a candle-light … thing, I dunno. Maybe it’s the Equinox again. Girls like her have an Equinox they can invoke anytime they feel like getting witchy. Last year, there were like seven of them.
Anyway, she asked me to pick her up a lighter. I stopped off at a service station before I met up with her.
This is the lighter the dude behind the counter handed me. I did not request it. Nor did I notice the artwork until I handed it to my friend for her ritual. It was awkward, is all I’m saying.
There were plenty of regular, plain lighters behind the counter! Why did he hand me this one?!
This is from 1988 — it was my speech when I ran for president of the International Student Organization at Longwood High School.
I even had buttons made up. I was quite the extrovert back in those days (and a nerd too, in case you hadn’t noticed). But I wasn’t exactly Marcus Antonius, even if I wanted to be.
Note the use of a dot matrix printer! 😀

And “primitive.”
My buddy Tara had her name misspelled at Starbucks, and now I can never stop thinking of her as Terra of the Teen Titans.
She’s also an editor, so I occasionally add extra spaces in sentences to make her nuts.
Sometimes I think it’s challenging for people to be friends with me.
