Currently having breakfast at Abode Bombay, a parallel world Ace Hotel, flying back to San Fran tonight wondering too if it will all make sense. I’d settle of any of it.

"Well good luck, sonny. Hate to tell you but the only time 'real' comes into it is when they're shooting at you. In practice, 'real' means dead— anything else, there's always room for some conversation." —Lew Basnight in Shadow Ticket, Thomas Pynchon
A troop of 30 monkeys visited me on Christmas.

"Well, who won Saturday’s race?
Every team took home some hardware. But the top honor, Grand Mediocre Champion, went to Wheel Horse, a red tractor-like contraption with fins, for finishing in the middle of the pack."
"I would set you free, if I knew how. But it isn't free out here. All the animals, the plants, the minerals, even other kinds of men, are being broken and reassembled every day, to preserve an elite few, who are the loudest to theorize on freedom, but the least free of all." (Gravity's Rainbow)
