I checked out the MySpace and it seems he is satisfied and that there is an offer to go to the coast and be around Mikey more. I guess pangs of jealousy and some real second thoughts about making that long drive to Grants Pass over the Labor Day Weekend. It is probably hard for him to tell me that he would rather do something else because he feels like he cannot shut me down without losing his funding. What a fucked up mess. I probably think too much and it is too bad there is not something around close that could take my attention and energy. Fuck! It is hell wearing your heart on your sleeve all the time. I guess I never learn and I always get too involved. Probably the best thing would be to back off and if he needs my two cents he will ask for it. Of course, I may be too hard on the whole situation. He is going to act pretty normal and I probably have a pretty special and unque relationship with him. I have seen him in hell and back. I still wish I did not obsess so much on it however.

I need to finish up the yard this morning and the letter to Cuddie. Check out the phone stuff and get some stuff going for Schimmele. I intend to send a book out to Nolan too.

I called Michael at noon and got his voice mail. My mind started working and there was nothing much good coming out. I figured he had probably turned his phone off and was on the coast or some other type of weekend activity. I worked around on the sprinkler again and started on the accounts. At about two thirty Michael called and said Mikey's mother was looking for him because she had been kicked out of the house in Santa Rosa and wanted Mike to buy her a bus ticket to Grants Pass so she could move in with Mike's mom. Well, it was back to the same old thing of needing money to  buy a ticket. The only way to do it was a pre-paid  ticket to Grants Pass that she could pick up in Santa Rosa. So I looked on the Internet and the next bus left at 3:13 and you had to have two hours leeway to do it over the Internet. So it ended up I had to send a Western Union to Mike to buy her a tickets. I had a lttle heart to heart with him and let him know there is a bottom to the barrel. He said his battery had run down and his phone was on the charger. I asked him about his mother and he said she was tickled to death - I'll bet. I sent the money and made him promuise to keep me posted on the developments. To me it has red flags all over it. That credit card with $500.00 shows up Monday and another person added and we will have to see how long that lasts. Not Long!!!!!!!!!! She is going to be in bad shape if she is coming down off drugs whatever and no reason she wont be unable to kick the habit. Fuck - x-boy-friend on the prowl coming after Michael. It sounds like Trouble with a capitol "T". I hope I am wrong. He just wants to hang out with Mikey and his mom.

Then Nolan called and I laid one on him about that Sonny Miller. We got off on the ODL and the child support. He has agreed to send me a power of attorney to start working on that. Anyway we will have to do something about that I guess as well. There is never an end to the bull shit around here.

I left for the game and went by Grannys'. It was okay though this one blond was snatching dishes off the table almost before I was finished. I took the phone to the game with me for no reason. We lost 5-3 and there was a real brewhaha over losing track of strikes and balls. I have never seen such a screw up before.

As soon as I got to the car I called Michael to find out what was going on. It seems that he had not picked up the money because he was in Gold Beach and his cousin had purchased the ticket that MIkey's mom would pick up Sunday afternoon and get to Grants Pass Monday morning. I was a little pissed because I had made such an effort to get the money there in less than 20 minutes. He seemed surprised I was put out. He said he would call me tomorrow and let me know when and if he gets the money. I guess he is going to go with whoever he wishes and I get more and more unsure about the trip over Labor Day.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was when people were asking how I had scored the balls and strikes in the controversial call.
