This really pisses me off. I can't believe that I can't believe this. One more twist down the cynic's spiral for me.

Not a bad job today. I was concerned when I took the assignment to teach high school physics considering I have never taken a physics class in my life. I was very relieved when I saw that the lesson plan required me to watch the first hour of "Traffic" five times today. I can push play, I have the credentials and lots of experience. I am the best damn teacher the world has ever seen. If only every job was this hard.

I am always writing. I get strange ideas at times my mind should be focused on something else- working, driving, having a drink. I have a file overflowing with bar napkins, old receipts, and scraps of paper on which I transcribed whatever I wrote on my hand or arm while I was driving or waiting in line at the bank. I found one in the back of a friend's car while unloading groceries. I remember the exact time I wrote it. While she parallel parked her car next to an Austin bar, the lines were running through my head. The first thing I did was write it down on a bar napkin and stuff it in my pocket. How it migrated from my pocket to her back seat is beyond me. I recall nothing lewd about the evening. Today I found it while unloading groceries: steak, cat food, a bottle of wine, honey-roasted peanuts, detergent. Right now she is watching Pop-Up Video. I am always writing. I usually have a pen but no paper. I found a bar napkin with my handwriting on it in the back of her car. It reads:

A mind hungry for patterns
will find meaning in anything.

A mind hungry for meaning

Does anyone know who won The Stanley Cup last night?
