My dog eats crap. Literally. Every walk, he is a little pacman, scooping up the plentiful trails of bunny poop at the speed I walk him. He also enjoys eating his own crap, the crap of other dogs, rocks, tissues and a pair of crumpled up panties that were inexplicably balled up in someone’s yard. …

I have a dream that pops up on occasion, but recently weekly. I am near a building. Sometimes a house, sometimes a small business, often a busy mall, the kind that was busy and bustling in the 80’s. I am having a conversation with someone, usually a stranger. They call my attention to storms in …

I named this entry, went on with my day, came back this evening and I have no idea where I was going with this. The start of another productive day? A new start now that I have been doing the web journaling for 3 weeks? The Future Self Journal instructions prefer 30 days but I …
