Shortly after gassing up and getting food in Hamburg Farms at 1am, I realized I was getting dangerously tired. I stopped and slept at a rest stop to nap in my car till 330 am. Now I am happy to be back on the road. ETA: 730 am.

Taking a rest stop in Willows, CA right now. Food options are McD’s, Diarrhea Bell, and Dennys. I chose McDonalds; haven’t eaten at on in several years. Food is the same as when I stopped; greasy & ok tasting. Planning on finding a dark spot to park my car and nap for an hour before hitting the road again.… read more “Willows, CA”

I spotted Mt. Shasta today and was really tempted to stop my trip and climb it. Decided it is a better idea to wait for next season and do it with a friend. It is 300 feet shorter than Rainier and much safer, though there is crevasses and rockfall danger.

450 miles into my trip, I am taking my first rest stop. Got gas (stupid OR rules require an attendant to fill your tank), about to eat at a shady Thai/Chinese restaurant, and then do stretches and maybe cat nap before I knock out another 450 miles. Debating trying to push all the way through to LA today.… read more “Medford, OR Pitstop”

Locked my keys in my running car by accident and had to have usaa roadside assistance come help. Rolling down i5 to LA now.

Read Siddhartha in a single sitting this morning while I waited for Tara to get home from work. Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse, is one of the best books I’ve read and I strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t read it yet. It’s about the life journey of a wise man… Almost like a parable, but far more vivid.… read more “Siddhartha by Herman Hesse”

No matter what you do in L.A., your behavior is appropriate for the city. Los Angeles has no assumed correct mode of use. You can have fake breasts and drive a Ford Mustang – or you can grow a beard, weigh 300 pounds, and read Christian science fiction novels. Either way, you’re fine: that’s just how it works.… read more “City of LA”

The going away party last night at Ozzies was a lot of fun. Lots of good friends showed up to drink beer with me. Nick and Shawn spent the night at my house with me so none of us had to drive. Thank you to everyone who made it!

Drinking a mimosa in bed after great sex. Read about Roman Polankis arrest on a 32 year old warrant and Michael Vicks return to regular season NFL action. Crepes are cooking and smelling good. Flag football games coming up at 7.

I visited my great great auntie Em today. After seeing an old picture of my grandfather putting bunny ears on her, I thought it would be kind to visit Auntie Em in her assisted living home. I am happy that I did, she was really happy to see me. I hate that old people in our society are so segregated from the rest of people.… read more “Great great Auntie Em”
