I was working on an advertising campaign with a partner. It was to promote a car company. Our boss was President Obama and he kept encouraging us to be even more creative and inspiring. I came up with a slogan that was something like, "Freedom to go where you want and explore the possibilities." He said it was a good start and we should have a couple beers and open up our minds.

I go to Ann Arbor and park a few blocks from the Red Rooster party store. I attend some kind of meeting and then can't find my way back to the car. I go into a restaurant and ask a waiter for directions. He says it's seven blocks away but he has trouble telling me what direction to go. Then it starts to sprinkle. 

I'm in a jazz club. The band is playing and the leader plays sax and guitar. I made some picks for him out of a pumpkin. Here's a bunch of the pumpkin left and I slice it up. We decide it's too stringy to use for guitar pick or to eat. 

I'm in the lobby of a hotel. I had just started taking flamenco dancing lessons. I show off to Zubes the steps I've learned.

I'm in some country just west of Bulgaria. I go into a gift shop that has a lot of hand made items. There are some cool artsy things made of wood and they're surprisingly cheap. Then we go into St. Sophia's church. It's huge and there are interesting blue tiles on the white walls.

I have my arms around Jim Farber and he's dragging me down Jefferson Ave. near downtown. He decides to get an Uber. It's a four seat Mustang and there's no room for me so I'm on my own. 

I'm trying to buy a 6-pack of a Spanish IPA. The store only has a couple cans of it and I complain.

I'm riding a real fast bike down Woodward. Then I try to find a street that goes to Grosse Pointe. I see a cool old mansion. I continue riding fast and then realize I'm not wearing a helmet.

I go into a women's bathroom and take a pee. Then I go into a room that has a bunch of individual saunas.  

I'm in some city between Detroit and Toronto. There are no trains for a couple days I go ice skating. Then a bunch of us decide to rent a car and drive to Detroit.

I'm in Ann Arbor and watch an autobiographical film and the director is there. They have a Q&A and I ask a question. Then I want to leave but decide I'll stay and ask him a few questions. People are lining up for some sushi and I go up to the director and ask him how did he decide what to include from his life in the movie. I explain some of the highlights of my life and how could I choose to include in my autobiography to make an interesting story.

Zubes and I are swimming in Lake Erie. The water is really warm and we pick up a black fan and fling it like a frisbie. 

I invent a new name for Easter. I figure it's a Christian holiday and needs to be more inclusive. Since pink and yellow are the dominant colors for the holiday, why not call it PinkNyellow? I think it's ingenious and keep telling prople I meet about it, hoping it will catch on!

I go to pick up a permit for a protest.It has a number on it and it's on a cookie sheet. I thought it was my number but it's for someone else. Joe arrives with Julie Russell and she has to fill out a form to protest. Julie tells me she's mad at me. I was going to leave the permit but it's on a cookie sheet so I take it.
