TO BE CONTINUED PART 7:

TALE OF LIFE IN A 2ND RATE POETS ROAM IN 15 MINUTES INTERVALS ON JANUARY 27TH 2006 WHICH IS MY 366TH POSTING…

0645: Get up. Coffee and cigarette. Its too fucking early to think anything, but is it also too late?
0700: Sons, Carl and Julius, wake up. Double shower.
0730: Breakfast. Eat that oatmeal boys! Agin and again and again.
0745: Getting ready to leave. Lunch packs, check up on back pack, at least 25 pieces of clothes to cover the needs for this winter day.
0800: Car refuses to start. Dead battery.
0815: Get hold of friendly neighbour, aka Hi-Fi Robert: He has the jump cables, I don`t. The car starts.
0830: Arrives at kindergarden, drop off Carl. Back at the car with Julius waiting in it, it has stalled. Dead again. Convinces teacher at Julius` school in the biblical proportions of helping me out with jump caples. It succeds. The cars starts.
0845: Takes the car for an approx. 15 km spin to charge the battery.
0900: Arrives at my parents place, to deliver back cellphone my mom forgot in the car driving back and forth to Aarhus yesterday. Coffee and 2nd cigarette.
0930: departure, I wish. The car stalls.again. Desperation.
0945. Borrow Moms Skoda to drive downtown to buy jump cables. First two shops are sold out, due to “the extreme weather conditions” as the one shop owner states with a content smile the fucking leach.
10.30: Back at Parents place. 3 attempts, and still a no-go engine. Call the friendliest caretaker in the world, Mr. John Klein.
11.15. John arrives with the proper tools and knowledge.
11.30: My car starts. I drive to studio.
11.45: Connect supercharger to battery. A three hour task.
1200: Walks up town to finish boring Union stuff.
1230: Lunch at Brænderigården/ studio.
13.15: Back in studio. Can`t concentrate on the 5 1x1m paintings thats otherwise almost finished. I build 6 new 80x122cm masonite frames. Work up a good potential on three of them.
15.30: Checks up on the car. The charger has generated very little juice on the battery which indicates the need for a brand new battery. Nervous that it cant make the drive to Aarhus Airport later tonite, I call up mom to book her car…again.
16.00: Finish mad-muslim-monkey-stencil and Pagan Queen. Not satisfied. Too…clean.
1645: Home. Cleaning. Carl comes home with mum-in-law. She leaves. Multiple activities.
17.30: Cooking and eating. Got to break an egg to make an omelet.
18.30: Mum-in-law arrives to nanny Carl while I pick up my moms car.
19.00: Pick-up and arrangements

20.00: Tug in Carl.
20.30: Nannys arrive.
20.45: Shower.
21.15: Departure for Aarhus Airport to pick up wife. Tricky drive in freaky fog.
21.45: Moms car stalls with 18 wheeler up my rear bumper. Light panic. The car starts again.
22.15: enter pathetic 20 km stint of freeway.
22.30: Wife calls on cell. Her plane is 40 minute delayed. “Could I pick her up in Karup Airport instead?” NO.
2300: Arrive at Aarhus Airport. Always wondered why this infrastructural embarresment, about 50km from Aarhus is in fact called Aarhus airport and not Tirstrup where its actually located. A complex result of small town politics I guess.
23.15: Coffee and cigarette in non-smoking area. Strikes up a conversation with 4 arab cabdrivers about smoking. We are all smoking. A man enters. Finds a cigarette but is out of light. Of 5 smokers smoking, guess who this Caucasian ask for a light.

0030: The drive back. The fog is gone.
0045: Wife sleeps in car. I speed up.
01.00: During overtaking at freeway I look over my shoulder and see the ghost of my dead brother. Denial never helped anything.
