May 12, 2004slackardI believe that I promised to call someone this morning, but I didn't do it. I was busy packing for my trip and trying to clean up my kitchen so that I won't have maggots crawling all over the ceiling when I get back home. (I don't know how long I'll be gone) Please forgive me, darlin.' Duty called. I'm taking one small bag and my laptop with me on an open-ended trip. I don't know when I'll be back. If I don't like where I find myself staying (although I believe that I will), I'll just pick up and go elsewhere. I've been working since I was twelve years old. Everything I worked FOR all of my life fell apart on me in July of 2001. Now, I have a shitpot full of money and time on my hands. I'm going out to see the world. I'm still young enough to enjoy it and old enough to appreciate the experience. This will be the last entry you see here for a while, unless I find a good internet connection or a friendly cafe where I'm headed. I'll write, but I probably won't post anything. Thanks to everyone who made GUT RUMBLES so much fun. Adios, amigos! Comments
I have enjoyed your writing. Sorry to see you take a break. Write about your adventures. An ex-du toit. Been there. Done that. Posted by: Jane du Toit on May 12, 2004 01:29 PMEnjoy your journey, and wishing you the best of luck! And, I've always believed "good things come at their time" Posted by: Emma on May 12, 2004 01:31 PMIf you find yourself heading North, you damned sure better let me know.

Here's raising a glass in your honor, Rob. Jim Don't forget to pack the hard-on pills! Make up for all the graveyard shifts and for all the times you watched the geese fly over without shooting them and for not busting someone who deserved it in the snot locker. Have a ball! Hey Acidman, Best of luck to ya! Enjoy yourself - rest dem weary bones. I look forward to your roaring back, devouring the minions who now nip at your heels. Stay safe, and watch your back. Traveling with an American passport can be dangerous these days. Posted by: Sam on May 12, 2004 05:18 PMEnjoy yourself. But stay away from the ganja this time, OK?

Enough of that! Get a good night's sleep and show up on time and sober tomorrow or it will show up on your performance report. [Just to help you taper off] I'm jealous. I hope you have a lot of fun.
