I thank many of you reading this for this accomplishment, as I may not have gotten this far without you.<\/p>\n<p>It is nice to be living at a time and place where, barring some really tin-foil hat government paranoia, I am safe and welcome and have all my needs met. As tin foil is extremely difficult to find these days, I should be all right. (Accept no substitutes! Aluminum is the devil!)<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really have anything planned for today, except that I want to get my trusty Blue (guitar) repaired (he busted a nut &#8212; guitarists will know what I&#8217;m talking about while they&#8217;re snickering, the rest of you can just snicker and be ignorant). I also am getting a new recliner delivered (well, I have the back, just need the base &#8212; it wouldn&#8217;t fit into my little Cobalt). I may or may not go out to eat in celebration; but it&#8217;s not as though I haven&#8217;t gained enough fat storage to survive on for months. I may have friends coming over to help me in my foray for comestibles, or that may be put off until Sunday, or it may not happen at all. Rest assured, I am fat and happy &#8212; fatter than I want to be and happier than I ever imagined being. I&#8217;ve actually been breaking out into smiling fits the last two days.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to do something for me, I have several suggestions. Donate to a homeless project, or even go serve food at one. Maybe find a hippo recovery project, or a zoo hippo who is under provided for. If you want to aid me directly, my CD download is still available for sale at http:\/\/mordewis.bandcamp.com .<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re in the area, you are more than welcome to come hang out in the woods with me. That&#8217;s the nice thing about my current residence, lots of woods of my own to hang out in.<\/p>\n<p>Hugs,<br \/>\nMe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks the completion of my personal 63rd trip around the Home Star.
