Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

I think I have figured it out: I was a hobo in a previous life. I have this weird affinity for the seedier side of society, for booze, for banjos.

I think some people can pull it off. One of the members of upper management at UMUC was in his 40s and had braces. The metal ones, even. He still managed to command respect. That's one thing that worries me.

Hoboes are becoming quite the trend. Please examine Hodgeman's list of 700 hobo names and 700 hobo illustrations.

Also, if you go to the annual convention, please take me.

yes and open city has been kind enough to schedule me every fucking day since I've been home, despite the fact that I'm taking classes again and asked for merely 3 or 4 shifts per week. I just finished another email demanding satisfaction. I'll be in a duel before long, I figure. I'm going to work on a post now and I hope to see you very soon.
