Petatlan, Mexico. Hanging out late. George and a very affectionate, drunk and loud Nicole – creatures I met on the dolphin swim). The name gets me to thinking too much and I’m already writing something. George had a little adventure on the side of the boat, climbing from balcony to balcony after Nicole passed out…

Petatlan and Ixtapa. What the fuck is a “mofle”. I don’t know, but it sounds damned cute! It probably bites gently in your sleep, and sits on its haunches and nibbles gently at your toes. Perhaps it’s purchased at the “ferreteria”. Another term that I’ve seen a lot but have not a CLUE what it…

Five days down on the cruise, sixdays to go. Almost midway. I studiously avoid the word “trip”. There’s only one “Trip” that I ever taken now and that’s with a capital ‘T’. Anything else is a jaunt, or a wandering, or God forbid, possibly a tour. I may be in need of a thesaurus. But…

The dolphins are a symbol of Mazatlan – with the man and woman together symbolizing humanity, looking forward into the future, where the dolphins lead them on Life’s ups and downs and off into the unknown. Mazatlan, and indeed, much of Mexico – it looks like a warzone to me. Shattered buildings and flaking paint.…

Mazatlan – my grandfather falls. pigeon assault. Sheila and the tour. Church. Shoeshine square. Yesterday – “I’m NOT your HUSBAND!!!” Last night – a little too much experimentation with Jack Daniels perhaps. Possibly finished “Allergy”, though. Yeah – those are the notes I have to deal with. We docked in Mazatlan at 7am and took…

Finishing “Allergy” and watching the wake of the boat. Scott borrowing my guitar to feed his hankering. He’s cursing himself for not bringing his own guitar… he and Denni are from Reno, Nevada. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Crazy-ass Zodiac driver. Huge humpback whales. Edited thoughts about the beautiful woman also on this Excursion. So –…

Beautiful changes in light… from silver of the afternoon and dying storm… The gold of sunset… First day at Sea. We’re 4 people in a room the size of my college dorm room. There’s no SPACE to lose stuff!!! I feel like there’s a disaster curve on the organization of this cruise, and I still…

Well – actually, I’m writing retroactively, from January 15th… I’ll explicate that in a moment… Shoshanna and friends on New Year’s at the College Perk, in College Park, MD. So, I’m not sure how much I’ve mentioned it, but my mom has wanted to take me on a cruise for years. She gets to do…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! New Year’s Eve. Exciting and fun, and perhaps not cathartic but still pretty satisfying. A night of mood swings and battle like any other, maybe, and I came out of it okay, but unsure if it’s a signal that 2006 is any better than its predecessor. At the open mic at the…
