I'm trying to get internet in my apartment but it's taking longer than normal. I've been absuing the Naperville Lib's wireless as well as the radio stations. WONC's comes with a free bag of Cosi chips that someone left on the table.

I'm doing PA for the boys soccer game tonight. I was told to wear a shirt with North Central on it, but the closest thing I own with a bird on it is a sky blue t-shirt with penguins on it. Why own a shirt of a bird I can see everyday around here. Unicorns, giraffes, and penguins need to be promotoed on the front of our shirts.

I'm going to go walk around and take some pictures.

Look out - Helter Skelter.

I like that my summer vacation is a true summer vacation (June-September) but I don't like all of these back-to-school sales and Last Fling city festivals. These people are cramping my summer style. Jean shorts, sunglasses, golf hat, and cruiser bike all the way.

Things I didn't know about Charlie Manson: His infamous murders of yuppie, rich white people was all a plan. He planned the murder to look as if it had been done by a group of black people. This would create some hostility between races and thus create Helter Skelter - a war between the black and white races. Where would Charlie and his crew be during this war? Well, get this. He was going to take the Family to Death Valley where there is a hole/portal in the ground that leads to a heavenly place filled with trees with 12 different fruits, endless sunlight, and rivers of honey. During the war above, they would hang out, mate until they reached a population of 144,000 (something with Revelations), and wait for the war to end. Once everyone had killed one another, he would come out of his hole with his new and improved master race.

I haven't finished the book, but I don't think he got there. The last time I heard from him was on a YouTube video from the '80s and he couldn't even construct sentences.

Way to go, buddy.

I've started reading Helter Skelter about the Manson trials. I normally don't like scary movies, books, or people, so this book has me double-checking that I lock the door at night.

Corinne and I headed to Asheville, North Carolina last week with her parents to visit her uncle, aunt, and four golden retrievers. They live in a beautiful house on ten acres which was built by her Uncle Don. We hiked, climbed a waterfall, rode horses, played frisbee with the dogs, sat on a rocking chair on a porch and stared at a the mountainous landscape, read David Sedaris books, played sudoku, consumed drinks, and had a wonderful time with some great people.

I'm already planning my return trip.
