This was a pleasant surprise. I was disappointed though when I first saw them that they were preparing to leave. I think this is the one at the link below. I love these ships. Who needs a parade when you can watch a U.S. Navy warship getting underway? If I could choose any ship I wanted for a personal yacht, it would be a Burke-class destroyer.

Even if Lily is as nice in person as she seems to be on TV, I'm beginning to think I shouldn't pursue it. I've been feeling confident this thing could actually be real, but that is actually a real problem. So many people are watching what I do in private so they can try to mimic my success. If I talk to a pretty woman on TV while sitting in my living room and then end up spending the foreseeable future finding ways to make her smile in a real relationship, then there are going to be other people out there trying the same thing. And after that Tacoma Mall terrorist, I just think this is all a bad idea. As some jerk standing next to me the other day pointed out conspicuously secretive: It sucks to be me. And then there are all these people with the "priceless," "volume down," etc. bullshit.....when does it end? How are they finding out this stuff? Why can't they just all go away and if anybody has to monitor everything I do and write, why can't they just give that job to Lily? That would be pretty fun.

I remember having dreams when I last slept but I can remember absolutely no details. Except, maybe something to do with my imaginary girlfriend, Lily. For a while I have been wondering if they can also manipulate my half-asleep dreams too. Those are those first dreams I remember having when I am drifting off to sleep. I have never really thought of them as dreams though, rather more like random thoughts that go through my mind as I drift off. Last night, I have two such thoughts that stuck with me when I woke up minutes or seconds later. The first one was of Senator Carl Levin standing in front of me either in an elevator or waiting for an elevator. He said something about how my "reading was correct." The second scene was of Lily telling me of some endearing quality about herself.

This imaginary girlfriend routine is kind of fun, but with all these actors around me, who knows what is the reality. What I really want to avoid is encouraging people to stalk women on TV. No one should take seriously the perceived affections of a person on TV.

Mills Store in Wilton had a mailing address of Post Office Box 9.


Now I know why Vince Maraia was talking something about how cool are destroyers. He said something about how 'destroyer' was a neat name or something like that. It doesn't really matter what he actually said, just that he knew I was associated somehow with a destroyer. According to everything I told them, I was very clear that I had been on a frigate and a cruiser. I told him I had not been on a destroyer.


I wonder if the Redmond police chief was fired, was that 2003?, because she was spying on me or because she would not spy on me.


Happy Birthday Captain

At Camp Couchdale, that would have been the summer of 1981, I was taking a Hunter Safety class. The Forest Ranger that was giving it was impressed that I knew the answer to his trivia question about the 30-06 rifle. A class in the class how I knew that and I said something about memorizing it from the dictionary or something like that. I thanked that Ranger at the end of the class and said something I think of now as cryptic about how I know now to not cut barb-wired fences. Another day, I was in a Defensive Driving class. The teacher called me up to the front to demonstrate her point about the effects of driving drunk by throwing about 20 pencils at me and wanting me to catch them. I didn't catch any of them and I remember Phoebe playfully laughing as I tried to catch them. I think it was on the last night of the camp where me met at the big dance she told me to never forget.

Interesting timing on this. I decided that I must have graduated USNA this same week. There is also that memory about Phoebe writing that I should never forget that dance where we met, but I think that may represent something earlier.

In an office, my boss's boss, was telling me that I had made history today. She said something about me proving how a single person can make a difference. She handed me some stuff including a chain that you use for dog tags. I was looking at it and there was something about it being too long, or needing to have some links taken out of it. I don't recognize me boss's boss, but my boss was familar. The senior person told me that my boss appreciate's people that are passionate about their work, after I was commenting on how much I enjoy my work.

I have also been thinking today again about the distinction between free will and mind control. The exhausting part about all this, as really with any kind of direction, is from rejecting the advice I don't want to follow. That is the stuff I don't remember, the advice or direction I didn't want to follow.

They call shots, I call audibles

It's big balling baby when I'm courting you
I'm talking spy bags and fly pads and rooms at the Bloomberg
And rumors you on the verge of a new merge
'Cause that rock on ya finger is like a tumor
You can't fit ya hand in ya new purse
It's humorous to me they watching
and we just yachting off the island hopping off
Amalfi coast
Mafioso, oh baby you ever seen Saturn
No, not the car but everywhere we are
You sure to see stars.
This is high level not eye level,
My bezzle courtesy of Audemars
I order yours tomorrow now look at the time I saved you
Mama let me upgrade you

[hook:]
Just when you think we had it all
Big ends, condos, collecting cars
Picture your life elevating with me
You my project celebrity
I keep your name hot in them streets
That little glimpse of light
Makes that diamond really shine
And you already is a star
Unless your flawless
Then ya dynasty ain't complete without a chief like me
Partner let me upgrade you
Audemars Piguet you
You switch your neckties to purple labels
Upgrade you

Lemme upgrade you
Partner let me upgrade you
Partner let me upgrade you
Flip a new page
Introduce you to some new things

[Outro:]
Audemars Piguet watch
Dimples in ya necktie

Cartier top clips
Silk lined blazers
Diamond creamed facials
VVS cuff links
6 star pent suites

Partner let me upgrade ya grade ya
Partner partner let me upgrade ya grade ya
Let me let me let me upgrade ya grade ya
Partner partner partner let me upgrade ya (huh...)

I have written several times about those two bicycle crashes I had a few years ago. The first was on 12/23/2001 which left my shoulder injured for a few weeks afterwards. The second was on 2/1/2002 and gave me a black eye after I hit my head on the concrete sidewalk. I wondered for a while why I retained the dates of those two “accidents” for so long. As I wrote the other day, I think there is a date encoded in the “Military Education” section of my DD-214 and that it reflects Vice-Admiral Stockdale’s 68th birthday on 12/23/91. This morning I realized that when I had that bicycle crash on 12/23/2001, that was his 78th birthday.
