Spent most of the weekend attending different weddings of family and friends.

Ended Sunday by visiting two friends and their baby, an evening filled with a lot of conversation catching up on the last two weeks and Mexican food together at a restaurant near their home.

The first breath of Autumn cool blows in this morning with thunder storms. The lightning even invaded my dreams.

Last night I dreamed of being romanced by beautiful men while on a trip accompanying my mother and her friends. To compare the dream to a TV sitcom, imagine Greg (myself) being pursued by Dharma (fun, creative men) while traveling with Kitty and her set.

This has been a very quiet week. The main circle of friends has been silent and the I am in touch with a lot of people the past two weeks who I had not heard from for quite a while. The distant get closer and the close are busy with other things.

It's been a long weekend. I worked Saturday and today trying to move a large project along that should be finished and delivered by Monday.
My head hurts. I took one ExedrinPM and might take another one before bed.

On the terrorist attacks today:
What can I say? For some odd reason I am not a bit surprised.
I am outraged, but not shocked. With all of the extra government spending of the Bush administration on military, it is almost as though the government was preparing for war.
I certainly hope we don't jump the gun on placing blame before we know absolutely who is responsible. I hope we pick up, rebuild and continue on without giving any group the satisfaction of hindering or inhibiting this country's life and prosperity and celebrated individual freedoms.
Deja vu - This seems so much, on a grander scale, like Pearl Harbor.
Meanwhile, everyone has their own theory as to who is responsible, how the country should deal with them and what would be another target or if there would be more attacks.
Friends from outside the USA send their concern and sympathy.
I watch and listen and continue.

Question of the day was "when was the last time you had a wishbone?"
It's been years since I've pulled or seen a fresh wishbone.
...and just what part of the bird does the wishbone come from anyway?

Up late puttering around my place again. Must put myself to bed with some reading material.

Thinking about Halloween costumes.

I could go with a macabre theme, but I am also drawn to the idea of portraying Chiana, a character from a scifi channel show Farscape who is totally gray from head to toe. That appeals to me because it is similar to an idea I've had for a while that was a bit of subtle performance art/ social experimentation: I have considered adopting a
completely computer putty-gray or beige wardrobe and hair color to more completely blend into an office environment. A kinda chameleon camouflage of sorts.

Insomnia

Some nights I can't even seduce myself.

Spent most of Saturday and this morning in Brooks, Georgia with E.K.'s family.
I was invited to lunch on Saturday and what would be a small family gathering that would include both of his brothers and his sister. That was my first opportunity to meet the rest of his immediate family.

Finally found a new watch today - a little Timex Indiglo with a built-in alarm and timer/stopwatch. Very useful.

Made an impulse buy of the "Emily the strange" book. Cute. Like the varnish-plate extras in the printing.

Went to eat with E.K. at Zocolo. Finally made it out to this restaurant in walking distance from my home... after it's been open how long? Actually, this was the first night I didn't see a line wrapping around the building of people waiting for seating.
Good meal. A bit more authentic Mexican cuisine - not as salty and spice as what you think of with Mexican food here in Atlanta. Had mole chicken entree, followed with 3-milk cake for desert.
