I keep a small, spiral-bound notepad in my left back pocket. No, I’ve kept many. I’ve done this for years. Looking back, I’m not always sure what I’ve written or why, but I save them. A collection of a few of the pages:

• 23 July 1998 - First words with the Fisher Space Pen. Do we need a new scientific method? This Saturday, Mary’s Birthday.
• 25 July 1998 - Find out the pronunciation of “Bogota”
• 8 August 1998 - Bitten by an unidentified bug. Moments later saw extremely large roach-like bug in the men’s restroom. Never seen such a thing. It played the disappearing act only moments after being sighted. The restroom was otherwise empty. Sounds: chairs scratching the floor. CDs: new Squirrel Nut Zippers.
• September 1998 - 25 divided by 8. 4 3 3 4 3 3 1 4
• 21 October 1998 - My eyes are dying.
• 29 October 1998 - Remember always that not every area of M.O.N. must be concerned with that ultimate universal nirvanic reality. It will be necessary even for parts to lead askew. Just as a good fictional work may have characters one abhors or a painting may be of ugly things but brilliant nonetheless. Sunday = Derek & Mike –> vision @ tilden w/assistance.
• 18 November 1998 - Look up the poet, Wallace Stevens
• 15 December 1998 - Why can’t she just say she doesn’t like him?
• 20 December 1998 - Intuition - Bernard Lonergan > insight
• 8 January 1999 - Nine slender eggplants or two small globe (2 lbs), parsley
• 12 January 1999 - Roberto Matta, Remedios Varo, Dorothea Tanning, Leonora Carrington
• 19 March 1999 - The failure of physics is answered by being. I need to find new communication ways–people don’t get it.
• 28 April 1999 - Protest against Occidental Oil, drilling in Uwa territory
• 21 August 1999 - The stage would have one row of three or four people each playing a theremin (sometimes synchronized–sometimes solo improvising) Behind would be a row of four to six drummers–all different sorts of tribal drums.
• 4 October 1999 - To Head Home
