There was a fox threatening the life of another little critter that J.O. Haley had come to have affection for. He called me into a room to point it out. The fox was scary. I thought about how to get at it but I don't think either of us ended up doing anything. [03.31.2003]

Jesus Freaks
My intramural (IM) team got thrown out of a game and then the whole league. I had been arguing with the refs but I didn't think that that could have been the reason our team had gotten tossed.

I was walking down a big hill, first with Brian Ebel, then with Dad. We ordered burgers halfway down the hill but got to the bottom quicker than we thought and said, "Screw 'em."

The Why Chromosome
I told my dad, "Fuck You, DAD."
His eyes were wild with surprise and
hurt and anger. Clearly he loved
me.

My brother offered to make

Power Co.
I had an odd dream about my parents. They were getting enormous checks from the power company. One was for $445,000. I tried asking Mom about it. When they were gone, but with my brother around, I grabbed their checkbook to look at its history, balance, etc. I was on edge as it was but … Continue reading Power Co.
Scrotitis
I was babysitting across the street at Tom and Terese's. I was changing the young boy's diaper (age 1 or 2) and I discovered that his scrotum had fallen off. Yet, strangely, he seemed to have another one in the usual place. So I have this detached scrotum and I don't know what to do. … Continue reading Scrotitis
