Happy Halloween!

andy pink, live from 249 1F —

the precedent to all saint's day (nov 1) and all soul's day (nov 2, also the anniversary of my father's death, in 1984) have passed and i am enjoying a day off from schoolwork. took jeff to the third street dog park this morning as i was tired, had run out of half and half, didn't have much coffee, and was too tired to banter with the gay boys with the dogs. third street was empty, which was fine, and then i we went to dunkin and pretended to order a dozen donuts for myself before not placing the order, and we came home. jeff is resting by the window on the bed and i am by him, prepping to read "the coming revolution" by an andy pink ancestor. it looks to be a good non-theoretical strictly-historical work and so it will take my mind off this mess for a period before i crank up the muzak again.

connie is so wonderful. we are kindred souls wandering the world. she has been pining away for this guy, J, off facebook, in the Netherlands for about 2 years and last night, while she was over, i insisted that she go to the netherlands with me, i'd take rich along, the trip is $440 roundtrip, and then hostel/hotel would be cheap for me and rich, and she could stay with J, at his place in the netherlands, while rich and i ran rampant in the city looking for dick. i think they are a good match — connie and J — they are extreme intellectuals (connie already has a master's in architecture from penn), they both read a lot, and they would be good together. she would be perfect for europe. she is so well educated that she would romp around town there with spirit at the tips of her tongue (like wit at the tips of rich's ears).

i was sorry that rich didn't come by last night but perhaps that was hoping for too much. if he hacked my wifi/fubo/tv, then the msg he sent with the disney problem msg i guess did the trick. i was tired anyway, after connie and the walk, and jeff was snoozing and i didn't want to have him woken up as we had been up all night the evening before (he can't sleep if i'm not dozing, i've come to discern). rich and i will meet, he'll have to come over to 249 1F with his entourage and we'll kiss. my duffle is still packed, now with brand new jockstrap for us to stain, and my wallet is still barren, so we're all set to drift into the night. jeff will be fine at disney, i'm sure they have pet sitting services at the disney hojo.

i love you all, goodnight and good luck, and don't shed a tear for me and rich, we're still around —

love michael

not thin enough — but coming soon
