I really gotta work out a better system of making it to the boston media makers… the long and the short of it is I end up going without sleep for.. like.. way to long, end up there in God knows what kind of shape.. then go home..

Today I almost got in a car accident… or I mean yesterday. I’m driving rout 9 into Boston.  This is a road who’s speed limit varies between 35 and 50 MPH… at one point on this drive.. this guy decides to drive into traffic.. he’s coming it at maybe 5 MPH…. and if he goes into my lane, I will not be able to stop for him…  does he see me? Does he know what he’s doing is crazy?  Guess what? Yup… he goes into my lane.

The brakes screech.. the kind where smoke comes up from your tires… you’re trying to skid to avoid the car and yet not end up on the side rail.. I thought I was going to hit him, I thought I was going to hit him….  My car must have stopped about an inch away from his car.. I have no idea how this happened.. how disaster was escaped.

And what does our scary driving friend do? He finishes getting out onto the road.. and making his way over to make his turn.. staring at me with a sort of astonished face.. going on with his day like nothing happened.

I had to veare off into the slow lane, contemplate stopping entirely.. I was in one of those mental modes where you’re just… not ready to drive basically.. you need to get your heart down to a normal level…. all this sorta stuff.

And of course all this was going on while I was in a sleep deprived state.

Well anyway….. I had the strangest dream… I was walking around with this group when we realized we were within 100 yards of where Jesus was berried..  I don’t remember much else for details… its all sorta faded away into the ether…

I was going to try and quit smoking.. this as usually the best way for me seems to be… well, if it takes about 3 days to get through the worst of the with  drawl.. if you can sleep through a day of it… you’re probably doing pretty well. But this didn’t work out…
