back down in my motherland again for a few days.  i came back to visit my family here. mary and i have a room in downtown oklahoma city. i went walking along the canal in bricktown yesterday. that is a nice scenic walk. i also went to the murray building that was bombed years back. i was walking down the street and they had directions to the site so i went. gotta remember the innocent people there that did nothing wrong to merit what happened to them.

i have  hit the pavement the last day or two. it kinda reminded me of my days when i was on the street. i used to walk everywhere. i would cover miles in a day. i would just go prowling around whatever city i was in at the time. when i went on the government relocation program i went to oakland california. i had just gotten of the bus and was walking into the station. some street hustler came up to me and opened his coat. it had a collection of watches. he asked me if i wanted a new watch. i told him ‘give me a break man, this is my first day in town.’ he kinda chuckled and said yeah and moved on. i walked around that town alot. i also used to go to berkley. or as the natives called it ‘beserkley’. they would gather in the commons area of the campus and play drums. i used to like to listen to them.

after i covered the oakland area i went across the bay to san fran. that was a crazy town. they had so many different types there that no one was different. everyone wanted to have a different number, so after awhile they all looked the same. its kinda like that everywhere. the more that people try to be original they more they are just like everyone else.

i have been busy here from the time i get up til i go to bed. i ate dinner last night with my kin at a local gaming parlor. we sat around and laughed while we ate. it is always fun to see them. we checked out the slots after we ate. the gaming gods smiled down on me. i am still up some bucks for the trip. tonite we have tickets to see the thunder play new orleans. i have only been to one other pro basketball game. that was 20 years ago. it was in denver. i dont even remember who they played. out in the sticks in kansas the only pro players we see are the ones that play at k u. oklahoma has nick collison playing for them. and new orlean has ju ju. it will be nice to see these former jayhawks play again. okc also has durant playing. hes one of the best players around now.

i will head over to visit another cousin i havent seen for awhile. he called me last night so i told him i would drive over to see him. i know so many people down here that i wont have a chance to see all of them. and they have a casino in every little stop along the way. i was going to go check out a museum but time hasnt allowed me to do that. never enough time in a day when you got so much to do. gotta head out.
