First I heard of this, and I have to say if it's true, I don't think it's good tactics. BM itself started small and grew organically before there was an LLC and land costs and everything. I can look back and see that some lucky accidents took place, as well as the skill in dealing with problems that came up later. I have my issues with the LLC but I have no illusion that I can waltz in and start up something else just like that. If it were I, I'd have a small thing with word or mouth and invitation and get it established before going after Larry and the big "boys." At least that way, if it crash and burns, it's not a huge public disgrace that ends up feeding BM in some wierd backwards way.

Funny, I don;t feel old, just wiser, no regrets, just wondering why I headed down the paths I have taken. Sometimes it seems if it is all for naught, but I know there is a reason. Nuff said, now how about my whiskey?

Hit 40 this summer. Still feel like the same old fishy, only sightly less jejune and embarrassing.

And I don't remember any episodes of Gilligan's Island where any of the characters ever said, "I want to taste you like the piece of candy that you are...". Not that I remember, anyway.

I think that all the important moment of GI happened in the mind of the viewers anyway, while they tried to make sence out of the unintentional surrealism. Or maybe it was a dream sequence.

Sensei, MISS Lydia Love and Captain Goddammit are drinking themselves into oblivion on Thanksgiving evening (late)... Anyone pathetic enough to be able to join us is more than welcome. We can have burritoes at 7-11! Woo-hoo!

Just stay away from the legendary hotdogs.

C'mon, this guy planned to light off a fuel-air explosive that might have killed hundreds... He's an ar-teest! He's not supposed to come off like a politician trying to make everyone happy. Too self-important and self-righteous for you guys? He's supposed to be emotional; again with the ar-teest thing. Does that mean I agree with his message?

Maybe part of Hitler's problem was his self image as an artist.

Ever wonder about world history if he had died of flu and Schiele had lived to become dictator of Germany? No? Sencible of you.

Something stiff to toast the deer that just sacrificed his life and totaled my truck. I've seen some damage, but the BM truck is dead. Dead and buried.

And that deer... 3 points, probably 175 pounds... poor guy.

Ack... what a fucking night.

Venison tonight?

Fishy!!! Wow!! I've had that same thought for the last twenty years!! Not too many people know about Schiele and Hitler...

Most likely will call, I have this funny notion of always wanting to get everyone all together on the same page. I will tear my hair out over it, though.....I have no expectation or hope (anymore) of any kind of normalcy (whatever the hell that means) from or for him. Best I can do is provide honest answers to the little one's questions, of which there are many. She knows more than I ever did at that age.

I once wanted to write a deliberately bad play about their rooming together at art school (always ready to re-arrange history a little) but the sad truth is that I couldn't write a good play, much less a deliberately bad one. On the other had, nice to know that the idea has a certain resonance.

Have you looked into support groups (local or on-line) for relatives of schizophrenics? It might be worth trying.
