viva las richmond

Around 3pm yesterday I was “like holy bleep — i totally forgot to put a bleepin’ post up yesterday on my bleepin’ website! shit!”

Well I didn’t have too much to say, besides that the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes thing is the best commercial EVER for a movie.

I heard that this is how the proposal went down in Paris:

“Katie — I’ve fake-loved you for the last several weeks and want you to know that my agent would like me to ask you to fake-marry you, if that’s okay with your agent.”
“Oh Tom — Fake -yes! Fake-yes!”
“Here’s the fake ring sponsored by Cartier”
“Oh Tom — it’s beautiful — I can’t wait to pawn it for acting lessons”

This morning, I was scanning the radio and the end of a song “Butterfly Kisses” was on 97.1 WASH FM this morning (DC’s Soft Rock station..where it’s not just light — it’s bright) — the DJ came out of the song:

“97.1 WASH FM, DC’s soft rock station — that .. was.. Butter.. fly kisses — “, he spat out as he was choking on tears. “… that song really gets to me… ” “I think.. of my daughters.. they’re the most precious gifts…in the world..” The traffic lady was trying to ease him down but he was seriously crying ..like weeping almost… Then I realized I was listening to a soft rock station and wanted the last 39 seconds of my life back.

Tonight I hit the road for Richmond, Virginia to say goodbye to my boy from college/high school– Bob. He’s leaving to teach in Prague for two years and from there, who knows.

    Good to have you back. You were missed yesterday. All for the best, however - ’cause today I enjoyed your entry… even though it sucked. Heehee. Just kidding.

    Give our best to Bob, and have him get in-touch with Wickersham who’s quasi-dating a woman living in Prague. I met her when she came to visit Boulder — very cool girl. Email me, Marty, if you need Geoff’s contact info.
