A week? Oy! What a week it's been...

Sorry for the missed days, and all of that jazz. I won't promise it will never happen again. I suppose my schedule just became overwhelmed with too many things that kept me away from the mindset that perhaps I should write a blog entry or two...(breathing)...

Since last Tuesday I've had plenty to do. I wrote 3 papers for school and finished my text reading for my Philosophy class. I've been driving some newly sober guys around to meetings, which can be tiring. I've been sleeping late (9am) and staying up watching movies and...ahhm...engaging in my new addiction. It's not drugs, not alcohol, nor is it porn or anything like that.

It's worse...

It's EBay.

I have discovered that Ebay is swarming with people selling model airplane kits. To top it off, they are great kits that have been discontinued for 20 or 30 years and are selling for pennies.

Alright, dollars, but still very cheap, and cheaper than going to a store or ordering them on-line from Poland, the Ukraine, the Czech Republic, or Pennsylvania. I have cornered the market in Revell Sopwith Triplanes, discontinued sometime in the 1970's. I now own 3 kits, with 2 more on the way. I missed out on one that went to high, however. I figured I wouldn't be too greedy and let someone else have some fun.

I met with my sponsor today and had lunch and talked about Step 8 for a while and then he showed me his other office, as opposed to the one in The Big City and the one In Our Nation's Capitol. Very fun. Then I drove to Staples and bought some printer ink, and then to my shrinks for some more NeuroCybernetics. Yahoo!

So I'm staying in, on this gray, drizzly, evening, because tomorrow is another crazy day-in-the-life of Johnnyboy.

Here are the haiku...


#183.
Mostly cloudy skies,
a chance of rain overnight,
gradually clearing.

#195.
Spinning wheels turning
interlocking clockwork gears
steel springs unwinding.

#213.
Softening blue light,
a cool, damp, forehead compress
calms frantic spinning.
