chilly morning – waiting at the train station for my shuttle to arrive saw me trying to blow smoke rings with just hot breath. I couldn’t do it – not sure if it can be done… but it is fun watching steam flow slowly from your nostrils. You can pretend to be Fin Fang Foom, spraying acidic mist at imaginary foes.

Dinner was nice, but I had very little appetite – wrote my brother a letter, gently asking him not to stay in Broward county, but instead to try starting his life fresh in points north – maybe Tampa. A toxic “support system” awaits if he returns to Hollywood and its environs.

BHK pointed out to me that you can buy mp3 songs on Amazon now – with no itunes restrictions, for $.10 less per song than iTunes. It’s about time, and I’m all for non-proprietary formats or RIAA controls.
