Watch out before you drown in the stream of consciousness!

We had spent some time in his house in Palm Springs, which was a thrill - looking out onto the desert and hills, no gingham for miles. Plenty of miles, though, Miles Davis. And plenty of talk of jazz.

I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I couldn't stop reading. I guess I kept hoping there would be a point. I mean besides the point that writing rock songs is not really very much like writing for the NY Times.

I'd like to apologise on my country's behalf.

I should immediately submit several of my thinky RL posts; they're a lot better!
