godfrey calls early morning, after i've wet his food garden, to sing "happy birthday" to me.

on course at the org. keith shows off his "top gun" moto-cycle helmet in the elevator to a girl who asks his advice about moving to another town for work - he urges thinking in terms of "pro-survival choices" - simple & elegant... interesting application of dianetics thinking.

i walk along the beach & sit down to hear a young white guy (dressed all black), who asks me to walk with him lament... he turns aggressive and wants to steal my bag. he's bigger built than me & i have a bag to protect = i have to run. i sprint into the hotel across the road... eerie how halfway into our conversation i realized that this is a scenario paulo coelho described in his last book - only the girl by the seaside was unfortunate enough to be killed...
