The Tim O'Brien story just won't go away. Because now I hear from a person who tells me that he killed his wife. I'm pretty sure this isn't true, not because he wouldn't do it, but because this thesis is based on his book, in which a person disappears their wife. I just think if you killed your wife you wouldn't necessarily write a book about it, as it might get people thinking. Also I'm not clear that he ever had a wife in the first place.

When I was listing all the famous people that I am near to, I forgot to mention my exchange with Jon Stewart, which went like this:

(me) Hey, that's Jon Stewart.

(my companion at the time) Who's Jon Stewart?

Also I didn't mention that my friend, who is actually a dog, is spending 11 days at Kid Rock's house. I don't really get it, because his owner sent the dog there as a kind of vacation, but I would think Kid Rock wouldn't have the kind of house that would be a nice vacation for a dog, even though there is another dog there he can play with.

Here's a little strange coincidence: Watertown, a place I had never heard of before, is where Theo is. And just a day after he menitoned it to me, I met someone from there. Then a day after that, I am speaking to a third party, also from there. Watertown, it might be noted, is a random town in very far upstate New York. There is nothing there but buffalo wings and sad people. In case you thought that isn't much of a coincidence, relax, because I haven't gotten to the coincidence yet. That was just the appetizer. The coincidence is that I own a 1939 Ford tractor, and there is a company that makes parts for it and Theo noted that it was on the way to Watertown so was going to stop in and get a carbuerator for it. Then by a really genuine coincidence, in Watertown is their headquaters, right across from where he was staying. I mean, what are the chances?
