Have Gun, Will Travel. Growing up - slowly - in a shrinking world. Tuesday, August 24, 1999. Red Pop Revenge,. It seems like the trip is always summed up, explicated, in what occurs immediately after. So here’s what’s happened in the airport: convinced myself through two concourses that the woman in front of me was Catherine; woke from an uncomfortable doze to find a cockroach crawling up my thigh. I stomped it. The stories in that are actually captivating. Gotta learn that. Sometimes when Papa was happy...

The Premise | Pardis Reader
https://pardis.wordpress.com/the-premise
Read about my reading. And wit. I’ve decided to start reading. So I’m going to start with the basics, ensure I’ve read the classics, and then take it from there. Here’s the list, brutely prioritized:. If I could only ever read five books. Catcher in the Rye. Lord of the Flies. Books I wouldn’t give up in a divorce settlement. A Journey to the Center of the Earth. Gone With the Wind. What I’m reading now. Tale of Two Cities. Tarzan of the Apes. These would have to wait until my second trip to the ship.

I can only guess at what he must have seen in ...

Have Gun, Will Travel. Growing up - slowly - in a shrinking world. Friday, February 08, 2002. Hey guys. Just back from my trip, and as long as I was telling my family I’m safe and what happened, I figured I’d cc it along to everyone else and save you all the suspense. First off, parenthetically, I’d just like to comment on how many people are saying that they’re less interested in the girl parts of my messages, and more interested in every other part. What? You’re interested in WHAT? My earwax is now, fo...

Have Gun, Will Travel. Growing up - slowly - in a shrinking world. Saturday, December 22, 2001. Well, in a few days I’m going on a Christmas-vacation trip to another little nowhere-town with a few of my Bahá’í buddies, and when I come back I’ll be exchanging my office clothes for some more serious time doing volunteer work, plus sitting down to write the first draft to my next story, which I’m feeling ready for. Hopefully January will represent a small shift in perspective. So that’s it for now. Chiv...
