But there is this stubborn provincial singing in me oh each time

"Little bird have you got a key?
Unlock the lock inside of me
Where will you go?
Keep yourself afloat
Feeling old until the wings unfolded
Caught me a long wind
Where will we go?
Keep ourselves afloat

I caught a long wind
A long life wind
I got to know the sky
But it didn't know me"
- Feist, "Caught a long wind"

the world stops at the window

Warm nights on the roof, the moon full over my heart:

You in mid-air; send in the clowns

I went to a parade -- THE parade, as far as Portland goes -- on Saturday for work. I can't believe it, but I actually liked it.

They danced to "Who Let the Dogs Out"


Centennial man Bubbles!
Watching In-step
Cheer One more time around again

And so for you, I came this far across the tracks

I'll stand up on top of the dugout and shout out and wave my arms and hold my tongue

Q plays wiffle ball every Sunday night, so he asked me to join in while I visited him in Omaha. The rest of the players were all boys -- and all but Q over 6-feet -- so I played at a handicap. I got popped in the face but still hit in a few singles. As an outfielder, though, I made a better picture documenter than catcher.

Feelin the sunshine so warm on my skin

Bought a donut / the hole's the size of the entire world

Friday was Donut Day. We squeaked in, late-night, to the shop where Q spent his teenage years. QUITE a sight, that place. Donut shop, Omaha, NE Donut day Donut shop bathroom Donut shop bathroom Untitled
