Month: October 2001

We had a wonderful weekend. Janet came out from Las Vegas for a visit. We made an incredible dinner on Saturday night that consisted of baked salmon, green bean casserole, angel hair pasta in alfredo sauce with shrimp, and a bottle of white wine. Mark came up from Yuma because he had to bring one of the guys to the airport, so he stopped by and was able to enjoy the meal with us. It was all very nice.

On Sunday, we woke up bright and early, had Dunkin Donuts and then hit the road headed for Sedona. We stopped and saw Montezuma Castle, drove through Sedona, took a bunch of pictures and had a wonderful meal. Then Janet and JR and Devon headed back to Vegas, and Jacob, Lucas and I headed back to Phoenix.

If you have not been to my poetry page lately, check it out. I found myself being in a weird space tonight. I wanted to write poetry. I have been wanting to for a while, but all I end up with is a bunch of scraps of scribble. I have been quite uninspired for a couple years. It goes through phases and I realize that and I am thinking that I am feeling it come around again. So, I was reading my older stuff and realized how ugly those pages are and difficult to navigate. So, of course, my left lobe took over and I started to code. I have that shirt that says CODE POET, however, I am thinking that the phrase was not intended to be a label for someone who creates code for dynamic display of their poetry. Hmmmph! Oh well, so I did not write a new poem, but my poetry page is looking better and easier to navigate.

I was digging the cool shapes that are formed by centering my poems. Kind of like ink blots. hehhehe.

Hello. It is October 1st. Halloween is just around the corner. Those of you, who read my thoughts daily should drop me a line now and then and let me know who you are.

Ok, with that said, I am ready to start this month off right. September was quite a crazy month for all of us. I am not sure how it is all going to pan out now or how it is going to affect us all, but the way I see it, it is important to move forward and continue to strive for the positive and for our goals.
My goal is to buy a house. I want to buy a house so very badly. It is going to be difficult for me because I struggled so hard during college and left a trail that indicates how difficult it was. I have a goal, tho, and I have a plan.

It is going to be at least four months from now, so at the moment, I am looking for a new roommate. The girl that was here became pregnant and moved in with her boyfriend. Congrats to Melissa and Tom.

So, now I have an empty room for rent and if you are in the Phoenix area and need a room to rent in a really cool house with a pool and a really fun roommate (me!) let me know. And even if you do not need a room, throw some words in my inbox. Looking forward to hearing from you.
