does it really happen?

Could this be true
Does it ever happen to you
And can you prove
That wheels go 'round in reason
You take a step
In time,
To move together
-Yes

• A lady asked me to help her carry her baby carriage down the stairs in the Metro. There were two babies in it and it was built like a Hummer. Kinda heavy.
• I know why you never see martini glasses in Spain - because they get broken at an alarming rate. After a few BBQ's here this spring I am down to 1. My friend, Brian, broke 3 glasses (only one martini) last Monday. I had him sleep over on the sofa. But he's Irish, so I don't know what his excuse is. But no harm done.
  
• The same Monday BBQ ended with a Summer in Raincoats acoustic jam (Juan on acoustic, Lee singing, me hitting the sofa and things with sticks. My favorite was Knocking on Heaven's Door, but we (me i guess, really) changed the refrain to Knocking Up Kevin's Whore. The entire room was in hysterics. Lee improved the rest.
  
• I walked into the J and J Bar last Tuesday to buy a book and grab a beer. It became like Cheers. Every time the door opened it was someone I knew. We wound up playing scrabble. It's 2 for 1 happy hour. I normally work well through happy hour. I walked out of their five hours later!
• I wrote something like 12,000 words this Semana Santa. That's a quite a clip. Last Semana Santa I wrote less, maybe 9,ooo words.
  
• When I go on writing jags like this my sleep is completely fudged up. I sleep in 4 or 5 hour intervals. I wake up. I can't get back to sleep. I write. I fall asleep 5 hours later. Sleep of the dead. I wake up. I write again. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.
  
• So i guess that's how i went a week without blogging. I just get caught up. Which is good. Becase sometimes the last thing you feel like doing is sitting in that chair and writing. But I do enjoy the process much more than when i was a youngin'.
• I saw bunch of special needs adults on the Metro on Sabado. One woman had hair like Heat Miser. They seemed a nice enough group of four. One dude had physical problems and was very hunched over. It's horrible how many people you see like that here. So the guy is hanging all over this woman. It was very loving i recall smiling at them. And then the dude swallows her tongue and they are full tilt sucking face. I almost pooped my pants I was so shocked. I am sure i farted. It was not what I was expecting. I hate when anybody makes out hardcore on the Metro, including me. (See: Fatal Attraction Woman Patricia in November '08).
• So nothing is more normal here. 2+ years later and it still seems as whacked out as ever. It's a lot of laughs. But far from normal.
