So between my mom who spent the time with me doing that, both my parents said if you act up we can make another one just like you. We're not all that attached to you. So whatever, go act like an idiot and then we'll just beat the crap out of you - although they never did. It was more of a threat than anything else.
So, on a Thursday I drive into Houston at an unusually early time for yours truly to board a plane bound for Columbus, Ohio and the Ohio State campus. They put me up in the downtown Hilton - Merv owns a big share in the company, apparently - and I must say, it was very cool. I've never been on a plane by myself, or in a hotel room by myself, or in general completely alone in another city. When I got in at the airport, I had to hail a taxi. Apparently, this practice is not like it is in the movies - no whistling or shouting or waving. There's a nice cab stand and you get in the line and the man at the desk loads your bags and you're on the go. How about that?

"yo no creo en la edad"

- pablo neruda

Translation = I do not believe in the age.

ODA TO THE AGE
I do not believe in the age.
All the old ones they takein the eyes a boy, and the children sometimes they observe to uslike old deep.
We will measure the life by meters or kilometers or months? As much since you are born? Whateveryou must walk until like allinstead of walking it superficially let us rest, underneath the Earth?
To the man, the woman that they completed actions, kindness, force,rage, love, tenderness, to that truely alivethey bloomedand in its nature they matured, we do not approach the measurementof the time that perhaps it is another thing, a mantle mineral, a bird planetary, a flower, another thing perhaps, but not a measurement.
Time, metal or bird, flower of length pecíolo, extiéndetealong of the men, florécelosand lávalos withwateropenedor with hidden sun. I proclaim to you wayand it does not mortise, scalepure with steps of air, I brought sincerely renewed by longitudinal springs.
Now, time, I coil to you, I deposit to you in mywild box and I am going away to fish with your long thread the fish of the aurora!
