Words and Thoughts: ON TRAIN!
HELLO AGAIN, ALLEGED READERS! FORGIVE THE YELLING! IT’S HARD TO HEAR MYSELF. IT’S EVEN HARDER TO SEND A FAX! REMEMBER THE TRAIN FROM LAST WEEK THAT I WENT TO GO SEE? THE BIG TRAIN?? I’M ON THE TRAIN!!! I GOT ON THE TRAIN! OL’ STAV, ON A TRAIN! BIG TRAIN!
EXCUSE THE BREVITY AGAIN THIS WEEK, BUT I DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME, BECAUSE SENDING THIS FAX, WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE ROOF OF THE TRAIN CAR HERE IS LESS THAN EASY!
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M HEADED, BUT I THINK IT’S NOT TOWARDS OHIO UNFORTUNATELY. THAT AT LEAST HELPS ME NARROW IT DOWN THOUGH. SOMEDAY OHIO, SOMEDAY. UNTIL THEN THOUGH, TRAIN, NOT TO OHIO!
I’LL FAX MORE NEXT WEEK, MAYBE I’LL BE OFF THE TRAIN BY THEN. NO DRAWING THIS WEEK, BECAUSE IT’D BE THE SAME AS LAST WEEK, EXCEPT INSTEAD OF STAV NEXT TO THE TRAIN, IT’S JUST STAV ON THE TRAIN. PRETEND I DREW THAT FOR YOU.
BIG TRAIN. FAST TRAIN!
