Adventure-bound.




This weekend I get to go visit some of my family in Sacramento and we are going to go white water rafting! How much fun does that sound like? Jealous much?

I have been rafting once before – though it was a long time ago – and I remember that there is really only one thing you have to remember: don’t fall out of the boat.

Well, as someone who has made a life out of falling out of boats (both real and metaphorical) I am looking forward to what will most certainly be an adventure.

This also allows me to do one of the other things I like most to do in the world, namely, fly with just a carry-on. I do not know why this makes me tingle with joy, but it always. I guess it makes me feel like a ninja! Other terribly mundane things that I love and which make me tingle: checking into hotels, looking at jackets in thrift stores, ordering room service, running my hands along the spines of books in used book stores.

Anyway, I am looking forward to a fun weekend. In eager anticipation I have composed the poem below:

The Texas Diplomat.

I hope that you don’t mind if I proselytize for a moment.

One of my little brothers – the Texas Diplomat – was recently interviewed for some of the good works that he is doing out there in the world.

You should watch this video and check out some of the websites that he talks about. He is one of those people who is like you and me, but a little better, because he is out there in the world doing more for humanity than you and I are.

However – you should know - he was such a little shit when he was five.

Rock on little bro!
