Got pages 7 through 14 of Rally's letter this morning. He survived the trip. What he was afraid some concerned citizen would do to him was attempt communication. haw!! That cracked my ass up. Quite the punchline when it comes days after the first part of the sentence.

In with his letter was a clipping from the (Wash) Post --- op ed about old-fashioned letter writing. Its springboard was the recent recovery of Hillary Clinton's college letters to a high school friend. There was a little ha-ha about those ("Since Xmas vacation, I've gone through three and a half metamorphoses"), some nostalgia for handwritten AND dot-matrix-printed epistles, and then at the end "Who knows why Hillary described herself as wearing 'a pair of dirty denim bell-bottoms, a never-ironed work shirt and a beautiful purple felt hat with a polka-dotted scarf streaming off it' or what she meant when she called herself a 'compassionate misanthrope.'" Who knows? I know. You know?

I have some thoughts about hangovers I may decide to share, if I get it together to get them together. (I can hear your clammoring; patience, all.)

Time to go to the office now, already. And it feels as if I've barely been home.

Yes, I do know. The compassionate misanthrope. I get it.

Regarding hangovers: Reserve some of your resources and stamina for karaoke next week. You must rest up for that. Boss's orders. Your enthusiastic presence and participation are essential.

Tom sounds interesting.

karaoke -- :]

tommy's a nut. hippie from way back. taught us this boy scout trick for when you've been protest marching all day--- you lie on your back next to a tree, with your butt right up by the base of it, and rest your legs, like, straight up against it.

he's also the one who said, of intoxications, "food is good, and sleep helps." many was the time that same saying felt like brand new news.

That is such an ecellent way to rest tired legs. It's one of the best things Tommy ever told me. I also like that he accompanied Jeff on Jeff's very first protest march. And taught him the responses for "Whose streets?" and "Who's got the power?"

I'm so glad that no one tried to attempt communication at that stage of his trip. Sometimes it just isn't welcome in that situation. You know, from my vast experience with tripping. Ha ha.
