<description><![CDATA[<p><i>we shall begin by studying Temples. did it ever occur to you that there is only one type of building: the Temple?<br><br>Of course, there are different kinds of Temples -- Bacchus wants a different kind of place than Athena does. But every building is the house of a certain god.<br><br>Back before Tower Records collapsed under the internet, I went in there one time. The people working there do not care what kind of music you want, but they will move mountains to find it for you. They regarded themselves as priests and priestesses of Pan. The mall is a Pantheon, a temple to all the gods. And we worship there, leaving our offerings and gratefully accepting what the gods will give us.<br><br>The successful Architect is a good sherpa, conducting the client to the peak of their chosen mountain. Then coming down and doing it again.</i></p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p><i>what with the total eclipse of the sun, we've been busy up here lately. Mrs. Briggs enjoyed a tranquil day with the cats. <br><a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newjersey/ny-bc-nj--minnesotaplanecra0801aug01,0,2687134.story">a very interesting article caught my eye this evening:</a> likelihood is strong that the tale is emblematic of the age, it has all the elements.<br><br>how could it be otherwise when "It could not immediately be determined if the loss of key executives would alter that timetable." is how the article concludes (referring to the casino). <br>As an aside, seriously... you would be hard pressed to identify a single time in the course of human history when "the loss of key executives would alter that timetable." No disrepect intended.  To the clock.</p>

<p>there's always <a href="http://laurustina.com/"></i>good news, </a><i> even for you. <br><br>even for me. </i></p>]]></description>

<p><br />
The wheel was greasy in Spider's hands. Dice sat beside him, whistling through his teeth. Spider was conscious of the smudges on the windshield, the crack in the vinyl dash. A commercial for a debt consolidator came on the radio and his right hand flicked from the wheel to the radio button and back, replacing the urgent drone with a mindless country warble.</p>

<p>"Why don't you get an iPod?" Dice scratched his cheek, watching the straps on the tractor trailer ahead of them flap in the wind.</p>

<p>Spider considered. He checked the rear view mirror and signaled to pass, easing left and accelerating. There was a fresh pack of cigarettes in the pocket of the door, right next to his left knee. "Dunno. Pretty demanding keeping track of all that bullshit."</p>

<p>"Shit man, just load it up and put it on random. Anything is better than this crap." Dice's finger was circling his nostril, sneaking up on it.</p>

<p>Spider pulled even with the truck. Covenant Transport. They thundered along the bending concrete interstate, shimmering in the California heat, an eight lane river.</p>]]></description>

<title>twilight</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I drove up to see Sparky. I got to the place about eleven. I was his first visitor. He was still in his room, they told me to wait. The place he is is not a hospice and it's not a hospital, it's something in between. Sparky has inoperable tumors on his liver. He came out with his nurse and walker after about ten minutes.</p>

<p>Sparky isn't going to live to see the summer this year. Everyone knows it, including him, but nobody is admitting it. He is wearing a rosary now, a wooden one. About a half hour after I got there one-armed Rosco came in with Sparky's mom. She's 96 years old, down to one leg. Between them they have six limbs. They brought a cuban guy who had beaten colon cancer and is now fighting lymph cancer with some success.</p>

<p>Rosco brought christmas presents for Sparky, but he barely had the strength to rip the wrapping paper. He has lost 23 pounds in the last three weeks. He was breaking down in the middle of the cuban guy's discourse on how you have to eat while you're getting radiation, when his phone rang. It's strange, the sovereignity we give to a phone call, the way we let it destroy the moment, any moment. Sparky's voice is thin and far away now. The cancer is eating him up inside.</p>

<p>I wish I would be able to remember Sparky had all his color working for him, when he had a dance in his step and flashing eyes; but now I'll have to balance that with the memory of his 96 year old mother massaging his legs, holding his hands, rubbing his head; telling him she wants him to come home, wants to hear him again in the hall, coming and going, like before.</p>

<p>Rosco brought him a robe, some socks, some sweatpants. He said, "you know, stuff you can use while you're here, until you come home." Rosco did time for Sparky  a while back, he's that kind of friend. Rosco has had over 400 speeding tickets.</p>

<p>The cuban guy had a different type of cancer than Sparky, and he has licked it for now -- that's why Rosco brought him, to prove that you can win that fight. He was full of helpful advice. When Sparky took the phone call, the cuban guy kept talking, telling me how to do it. Sparky closed his phone and showed him the bags he wears on his legs full of amber liquid. When the guy asked Sparky if he could do crunches, he showed him the tubes in his chest and in his belly. The doctors have a protocol, they play their games. Sparky kisses his beads when his eyes get wet. </p>

<p>The football games came on the big TV and I said I had to go, and that I would see him next weekend. </p>

<p>I heard the Ravens lost.<br />
