I go downtown in the early evening and the fireworks are going to go off. I get caught in the zone and most of the area is fenced off. I finally find a way out and figure I can watch them from a distance and avoid the traffic jam after they go off.

I drink a beer that's 2% alcohol. Then I'm in a liquor store (in England?). I'm going to buy two bottles of scotch that 65 pounds a bottle. Then I change my mind and take a pass.

I'm inside the Belle Isle Aquarium and I'm trying to take a bunch of photos. It turns out I'm using a movie camera and I end up with a bunch of short movies of the various fish.

I have the seed of three pretty flowers. They look like Snowdrops and are violet, white, and pink. After I plant the seeds, I reach in a bag of topsoil and there are a bunch of rocks, and pieces of bones mixed in.

I'm on a walking tour of Lansing with a bunch of people. We stop in a coffee shop. There are some day-old pastries foe 25 cents. Peggy Beadle is there. She's working for a division of Ford that supplies specially-equipped cars for rich people. I tell her I'm available for free-lance work. I join the rest of my group--they have to move several tables to let me fit in.

I was working on a project downtown. Then I left the office and walked over to in front of the Renaissance Center to catch a bus. I left work a couple hours early so there weren't many busses running. I had trouble finding out where to wait for the Kercheval bus.

Someone came out to trim the two trees in our front yard. He did a horrible job and trimmed the daylights out of the trees!

I have to write and perform a piece for the piano for Jim and Margot. Jim books a venue for me to perform at. 

I have a cat that I'm supposed to poison. There are little tablets that look like cat treats and I keep trying to get him to eat them. I feel terrible about doing it because he's such a sweet and pretty cat.

I'm at a Phish concert by myself. During the break the band goes out to lunch and I go with one of the members. I have trouble following him but then I find him in a shop meditating. Then we go to a restaurant. They serving shrimp with garnish on top of it. The guy next to me takes mine but using some chopsticks, I try to pick some up that are in the middle of the table.

I'm outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. It doesn't open until 10:30. I complain that there are probably 100,000 tourists in the city, waiting for it to open.

I'm at home and two robbers walk into the house. I wake up.
