I'm in Wausau, Wisconsin's downtown library. Last year when I was here around the same time, this area was under major construction. It's since been completed and looks great.

On my way in, a man was being searched in the lobby. He apparently violated the terms of his restraining order and followed some lady into the library. I had hoped for something funny to happen while I fumbled through my coat in proximity to hear the officers questioning the gray bearded fellow. I got nothing.

I need to go, though. I may exceed my time here and get pissed at this machine, thus having the library place a restaining order against me.

We had to put our dog, Pepper, to sleep yesterday. For those of you who knew her, you know how close she was to us. She was treated better than most dogs and even many people. A part of our family is gone. Now her suffering is over and it's time for us to pick up the pieces ... and the torn up stuffed animals and the almost-gone chewyz. In Pepper's memory, I will bark at the squirrels in the backyard, drag my ass on the rug and drink outta the toilet. Thanks for the memories Pepper. Please watch over mom and keep her safe while I'm gone.

I did a Christmas party last night at a strip club, a special one for the employees. Five minutes before I went on, two of the dancers got into a fight. I'm not sure if one danced to the other one's song the night before or if their stage names were too similar. However, I do know that that was the most uncomfortable I had ever been in a strip club without having a boner.
