2002-07-26 : 2:41 p.m...a common enemy
in a few hours i am leaving, on a jet plane, bound for boulder, colorado, where the air is thin and the men wear sarongs.

i will be thrust into an interesting political situation. two (former) best friends, one of whom slept with the other's girlfriend, are both there, and they will no doubt make my week miserable.

i speak to both of them on the phone fairly frequently. both of them are big children. now, i've been in a situation like this. i was, in fact, the villain of the affair, sleeping with my best friend's girlfriend. we didn't speak for a year. now, we're closer than we ever were and we talk almost every day. it was about three or four years ago that we set things right.

but these two, jesus christ. they snipe at one another constantly when they talk to me, presumably because on some subconscious level they know that i might tell the other one, and therefore everybody will know where everybody stands. children.

what i would like to do, is orchestrate a situation where the two of them are in the same place "by accident." not to talk about things face to face because that will never happen, but so i can kick both of them in the balls, then shove them together and say "fucking work it out."

just to give them some perspective.
