howdy all. here i am back from a period of monkish silence. im not sure anybody missed my speechifying, but i feel a little like a celebrity posting here, anyway. the prodigal son returns and all that. everyone love me.
jen is only pouting because she hasnt achieved the proper zen frame of mind for surviving winters in iowa. for example, the definition of excitement has been too ambitious for years now. excitement is really nothing more than eating pie at the village inn. or, as i learned last night, excitement is pretending youre a teenager again and watching pink floyd's The Wall while youre stoned. or drinking a lot.
one time, excitement was peeing off my back porch while smoking a rancid cigar and looking at the moonlit, snow-covered trees. also, i have some photos of myself experiencing excitement, and while i cant remember what i was doing in these photos, or even when they were takeni look like im either having a great time, or im really sleepy. so theres plenty of excitement here in iowa. especially if, like me, youve developed the powers of denial typically held by 50's housewives, who were able to convince themselves that raising children and vacuuming were the building blocks of a fulfilling life.
i feel so pretty today. dinner will be ready soon, honey.
