Oh. I get confused with pseudonyms. Sorry. We should have gotten married in virginia city. It is where the mother lode was discovered. people back there (NH) don’t understand. The west was a junk pile of wealth we picked through back then, and it got us where we are today. We need to slow down of course but virginia city aint a joke. The west kept us alive. I don’t think the middle east will do the same.

Dead indians, silver, a new state of the union.

Mimsy,

At your party your son said something that sounded like, “deadly hipsters”. That cracked me up, he’s about 9, right? That lack of humility is pretty bad. Deadly jaded hipsters.

Thanks Rachel

My friend Dave told me, “the future is an alien to the past.” Whether illegal or extraterrestrial, an alien will never be accepted into a culture the same way someone born into it. I was born into it, but can’t go back now (alienated myself!). Of course, saying california is the future of NH is arguable, but not for me personally.

Writing a book is in the past, as well. Encourage me to become a copy writer for a large mail order catalogue company…

when we were all making ‘zines back at the radio station, you always had the best things to say, and when we used to trade letters, your’s were always unique and well crafted. Now it is time for you to go to wordpress.org and create a blog. I can walk you through the set up and any other questions you have. It’s free. there’s no more time for excuses. Buy a scanner for 63 dollars brand new and a digital camera for $75 at office max and show the world what you can do.

I love that sentence, “seeing a man decide to try everything in life, only to find out it hurts.” Lisa Carver once told me, “You are having an interesting life. Those are not easy.” Your life is painful, but at least it makes for extremely beautiful writing. I think you should write a book. And I think one of these days you should come back to New Hampshire. It sounds like you want to. It only sucks here because people like you leave.

I’d like to know more from you…
