So it's been a few days since I asked everybody to "keep the dream alive," and still I feel like I'm really the only person doing it. I mean, I don't feel like I ask a lot from people, but I can't "keep the dream alive" by myself here. I mean, Jesus! What the hell do you people think I am, some kind of super hero or something like superman?

Ok. Sorry. You didn't deserve that. I'll... I'll just carry on here the best I can.

Anyway. I want to make sure my friends; who include Jim E., Greg and Ani, Dan and Leah, Shane and Lisa, and Co and Mo, know how much their hospitality and generosity meant to me during my stay in Reno. If I do move back there, you guys will know the reason why. And it ain't the pho.

OK. It's partly the pho. Just a little.

It's humbling yet somehow warming to know that whatever I accomplish in life (assuming I should someday accomplish something), it could not be except for the help of my family and friends. And of course a little green alien named Kazoo that only I can see.

I hope someday I can repay all you guys for all you've done for me, and for all the things my dog destroyed.

But probably not.
