Arsenal : so glad I missed the last three weeks of the season

It’s synchronicity.

My holiday ends  as the football season ends.

Watched Spurs 2 Birmingham 1 on Fox Soccer Channel at 9 a.m. and taped Man Utd 4 Blackpool 2 from ESPN. May not see the latter.

Today I see that Fabregas was at the Spanish Grand Prix and the Gooners at Fulham were singing, “Spend some fukcing money !”

The game was 2-2 and Arsenal were never winning.

The old beatnik feels more  relaxed than he has  done for years. Had time to read and think, seen the South West on an 850-mile road trip to Taos and Santa Fe, and  cheered my nephew Derek’s graduation. He  did English and Creative Writing.

So  I’ve had fun in the USA, as always. And  have been able  to scribble a few wise pages for my  book.

I’m on a plane  back to LHR and sea level  tonight.

Having written  70% of an interesting ANR piece, I can post  that on Friday.
