Well, we haven’t gotten out of the apartment yet because Tara and Cliff are arguing again. It’s nothing I want to write about because I want to remember mostly good things about this trip. It will make it look like Prague is a bad place when actually it’s just the people I’m with that puts a damper on it.

 The trip looks like it’s coming to a grinding halt sooner than we planned. I don’t think we’ll do anything for sure anymore. The past month was great, but we still have 6 weeks to go which is 3/5 of our time on vacation?! I’m starting to find myself dreaming if Wisconsin as my vacation- at least then I’ll have control of my life again. No more playing sheep. No more surprises. I’ll be able to take things for granted again…Make predictions. Be by my friends which I miss so much. Before I left things were going great and I still wonder how much has changed since I’ve been gone.

Does Floyd still consider me one of his two best friends? Am I still with the band? Does Jeremy S. moss me? Is Bob happy? Has Jay won his game of Tetris? How many of these will be answered yes? I’m hoping all of them. I hope to walk into Frank’s Pizza Palace and find everyone there laughing and joking around picking on Tony and Phish like usual. But time does change, and so do we. It’s like seeing someone for the first time in months and noticing that their hair has grown an inch longer, but to them it hasn’t changed at all because they see it every day. I’d give anything right now to be home eating bean burritos and drinking .63¢ bottomless coffee and hanging out with everybody again. Just shootin’ the shit. Acumba Mattada. Smile Jay- it’s in you somewhere. That kind of happiness doesn’t leave; it just gets covered up sometimes. Like the clouds blocking the summer sun.

“Show me a smile. Don’t be discouraged or worry a lot/ If this world makes you crazy and you’ve taken all you can then you call me up, because you know I’ll be there.” Cyndi Lauper found the best words for me to use. How’s Adam O. doing? The same ol’ son of a bitch I hope. He’s changed me in more ways than one.
