Able To Blog On Vacation

Here I am in St. Louis. I few things:

• One of the reliefs I currently feel is being able to walk around my hotel room naked. Not like I really want to do it at home, but I have had to because it's been so hot lately. Here, not only can I jack up the air conditioning, but I can prance around without any possibility any member of family will see me.


• The night before I have this idea of bringing my satellite radio with me. I have to change headphones anyway because my old ones are shot. I thought I had everything. But when I unpacked last night, I forgot to pack the battery. So all this heavy electronic stuff I have with me for nothing. Goddammit.


• My plan was going to Alton, Ill. to see bartenders that'll show their tits for money. But on the way back from the Chuck Berry concert I got lost. After about, oh, 20 miles, I gave up. But it was still not my bedtime -- it was before 2 -- so I took a detour to Harrah's casino ... where I played craps and won $59. Even considering the gas I wasted just spacing out and driving around, not a bad Plan B.


• And I still dread coming home and seeing the death of the store. Cannot get away from my problems. At. ALL.
