Old age ought to know. Death will soon come to its rescue. 'Till the knowing ends, all that was wasted and wronged in youth- through ignorance, haste, competition, bad belief- all that was bored by middle age into one long snooze, has borne its juiceless fruit, and is now known for what it is: nothing has been righted here. Yet if desire can be kept from contamination, if it can be aimed, as one's fingertip, at the root's place, if it is not harnessed to the horses of dismal domination, but is allowed to be itself and realize life, than the flutter of an eyelash on a cheek will assume its proper importance; Wall Street may crash and the gods of money smelted back into the sordid earths they come from; yet, unfazed, our heads will rest at least on one another, the fall sun will shine on the sheets, your nipple shall enter my ear like a bee seeking in a bloom a place to sleep, life shall run through us both renewed, we shall feel longing, lust for one another; we shall share rage for the world.

I’m sure to not be the only person to have run into this video taped example of voter fraud in Nevada. My wife is in the ER, I’m a poor diarist at best, and I’m all thumbs when it comes to using my cell phone for anything… Anyone want to take this on?

Hardly a diary but I had to...

We've been lucky around here in some respects... This year we have presents and a tree. Last year was pretty grim. We had been forced to move and had very little money, few presents and on Christmas Eve of last year I finally jumped a fence to steal a tree from a closed tree lot. This year is a mixed bag as well though; my Father suffered a stroke last Sunday (he'll be okay but he's mighty frail... I can see him coming back though) and my stepfather has fallen into the early stages of dementia. My Mother cancelled the family holiday dinner. With all of this going on we've been a little stressed to say the least... I'm sure glad to have a roof over our heads, good friends inviting us over for dinner tonight, and all the love we have for each other.
I've signed up for health care and it was easy.

and it felt mighty good! When the news walked over to interview me I was pretty nervous, stuttering, couldn't remember any of my talking points, but I don't regret it a bit. A minister at the Unitarian Church was there for a few minutes with me but had to officiate at a wedding... Maybe next time there will be more than two of us!

In 03:17... My friend Joel and I wrote this and it seems to (unintentionally) frame Romney's campaign and what hopefully will be the last we hear of him, at least under the current circumstances. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow, quite literally having a time of it catching my breath!

Watching this is that painful, it literally makes me a little bit sick.

This morning was spent in the studio tracking but for some reason I haven't felt particularly inspired, I suppose putting our sweet, loving, old dog down a few days ago didn't help. So I gave up, got my bike and pedaled home. Opening my email I found this note from a very good friend (I've deleted her greeting to me):

I have a strange request. As you may know I have been experiencing intense neurological problems for the last ten years. I have severe chronic migraines. I am often in extreme pain with pain levels at a 9 or a 10. I have been seeing doctors and neurologists but nothing has worked and they have done nothing for the pain. Four years ago I developed fibromyalgia and status migraines, migraines lasting for as long as two months straight. The years of constant pain just started driving me over the edge over the last year. I've been hospitalized twice in the last ten months for two suicide attempts. I've tried to get help for the pain through the medical establishment for the pain but my efforts have been unsuccessful. With the crack down on pain management clinics it's impossible to get anything for pain unless you are a cancer patient. I can't endure the long months of severe pain anymore. I want to try heroin for these episodes. Maybe it will save my life. I wonder if you know where I can get some. I plan to use it wisely and only for the severe pain.

She's a true visionary and we've done some wonderful work together, difficult work that doesn't just fall right into place on it's own. This situation though, this I have no idea how to handle. Any insights would be helpful... I have no idea how to find heroin so please don't start there.
Here is some of our work:
