Anyone want to buy some MOMSPIT?  Yeah, me neither.

Dreams last night:  I was hiking through the mountains, camping.  I set up camp and I looked across the river and saw a bear and thought, “Oh, shit!  A bear!”, then I realized it was just patient bear, sitting at his picnic table and I thought, “Oh, it’s just patient bear.”  I worry about my sanity sometimes….

Also saw my dad in a dream last night and had a nice chat with him – he seemed happy and he looked good, despite being clad in some kind of Darrin Stephens-esque sports shirt.  Hi, Dad!

Have you checked out the LIFE MAGAZINE ARCHIVE on G@@gle yet?  If not, I encourage you to do so.  Look, you can find INVENTIONS,  HIPPIES and ED GEIN!

Dear Erick Purkheiser of Los Angeles,

I know you’re pushing 70, but could you please bring your band to Austin?  I know someone who would like to meet you.

Thanks,  Lass.
