Dear World, I can't find Henry. I asked Damian to take care of him. I just called him (I don't care if I woke him up and I certainly don't care that he was with somebody.) He said Henry was in his house the day before yesterday when he came over. Where is Henry? I have to go looking. But I am falling asleep. I will look more in the morning. He must be in my apartment somewhere and it's not that big. Maybe he's in the closet. In case you forgot, Henry is my frog. He is my BEST FRIEND.

Dear World, I just got back from Ohio. I am exhausted. I don't even remember how to spell exhausted if that gives you any clue of how exhausted I am. OK in case I didn't mention it before I ran out the door to get on the BART to get to the shuttle to get to the airport to catch the plane, my dad had a heart attack and I went to see him. He is alive! No thanks to Mom, who almost wouldn't give me the money for the plane ticket! She started complaining about how Mike McPeach always was a womanizer and he's probably got some little hussy living down there with him and why can't she give me the money, and all that. Horrible. I cried on the phone and I hate when my mother gets to see (or hear) me cry. But she finally gave in. I promised to pay it back (not likely- what's my motivation?) Anyway I got there and he does NOT have a "hussy" living with him. He doesn't have anyone living with him. That's probably the problem. I was actually horrified to find out how he's been living. He used to be my hippie role model! And now he's eating really bad food and not exercising and he's drinking. He is an ok drinker, he doesn't turn into a jerk or anything, more like he gets whimsical. Which is fine. But I am not ready for my dad to die. I want him to live longer. I think he's just depressed about the world. I tried to cheer him up but he said he's sad because when he was my age he and all his friends thought they could change the world but for "kids" my age there's no hope and he says it kills him that he brought me into a world with no hope. So I made him a vow that if he would take care of himself I would do everything I can to change the world and no matter what happens I won't give up. Well, I will have to finish this later. I am so tired.
