The Workshop Tour
As much fun as it would be to get lost in this newsletter, I am also prepping for hernia surgery in the morning; 10:25 AM 3/25/26.
This document creation is a wonderful distraction. However, there might be a few other things to do. That means it’s getting shipped. Today! Tuesday!
Meanwhile, please enjoy a little sampler of my state of mind.

Hobo Daze is coming up. Please check your calendars. Pick up your rain checks. Please do not feel bad if you can’t make it. No one ever comes, including me, and that is the intention. When I am in the Zone. I am not in my own way at all. I got a stack of rain checks you would not believe.
New This Year! By Popular Request!
You can now back-date a previous rain check …. and start …. today.

Please join me in reciting the Hobo Daze Anthem
Nothing to it
when there’s nothing to do
and nowhere to go
I go there and do that
no promise but proximity
no direction but desire
nothing to it

The 53rd or 54th Annual
International Hobo Daze - Sunday, April 12, 2026
11 AM until you realize it’s already mid-Summer.
Down by the River.
Drop in. Drop out. Reusable rain checks freely available.
No hand stamp or bar-code bracelet needed.
You are there, wherever that is, because you said so.
Hobo Day started like a Bad Hair Day turned Good. It was several lovely instances blossoming over two or three hours. Hours, not a whole day! Even so, the idea was a keeper.
Somehow ‘Day’ turned to ‘Daze’. It sounds plural, like it could go on and you could drop in … and out. And you can.
Daze, D.A.Z.E., also describes a quality of engaging amazement, of being in the zone. A time when time loosens its grip. A place where space opens, expands, and you can still touch edges. Dance? Yes. Also. We will work it in.
(This hobo thang also works on a micro-momentary scale. Try it. You’ll like it.)

Louise Steps on the Gas
Things seemed a bit stressful and I said, and I just thought, that maybe we should go up and jump off together.
Just the three of us. You and me and Jim Beam. Or Jose Cuervo, or, let’s not make a list. If we start to name names, wow, there are too many wild turkeys.
Well, she said “NO!” … so fast that it surprised me.
And then immediately I thought, of course. She’s right.
Knowing my fear of heights, I would probably bumble and stumble and fall off before we got anywhere near the top thus ruining the whole event.
So I said …
What if we pull off one more bank job in Bolivia? And then we could flip a gold coin to find out who gets to be Butch and who gets to be Sundance.
While she was thinking about that I said “Well what about Thelma and Louise? Who pointed that Thunderbird convertible at the canyon?
I wanna be Louise.
I got a gold coin.
Best two of three?
Louise steps on the gas.

Poem 12.12.2025
Recently I improvised this piece to my counselor. I guess she had to ask. Are you suicidal? We’ve been together over three years. I don’t think she’s ever asked that before. Just when you think you’re getting to know someone.

Theory of Anything
The List of Materials
Rev. 1
A working Theory of Anything may have greater practical value, in a shorter time frame, with less investment, than flailing around forever with sadly incomplete ideas of Everything.
Given that Anything - is a subset - of Everything, gathering the materials, witnesses, proofs, may be easier.
Everything means Every Thing. And where will we put it all?
Ah … The World. We can keep Every Thing in the World. (or the Cosmos, if you must.)
(The words Planet and Earth may come in handy. For this moment we will leave them right here.)
Our individual definitions of the World may have lots of points in common. Our individual definitions also have items that the other has not considered.
They are each Theories of Anything; the subset of the All. When something new comes along our worlds grow.
Could be better. Could be worse.
