12 January 1988

I'm so hungry from my diet I couldn't sleep last night. Thereby depriving me of food AND sleep, two of three things I live for. If the third weren't self-pity, I'd kill myself.

Look, Garfield! This is my first serious attempt at making gourmet food. "first humorous" attempt is more like it. I call it "chicken surprise". Somehow, I'm not surprised. Fresh from the oven. I know. I heard the microwave laughing.

The most important part of writing a book is picking a good title. I think I'll call mine "Nights Of Indiscretion". No, no. A writer must write something he knows about. That's it! I'll call it "Nights Of Indigestion".

That's the last time I let you steer, Odie. Whee! I love snow. Yeah! As long as the neighbor kids don't spot us. SPLUT! SPLUT! Hey, cat! Give us the kitten and we'll let you live. NOT A CHANCE, YOU TURKEYS! IT'S ALL FOR ONE ANDONE FOR... all.
