Love Boat, Pot, and One Big Cobra

(5)

After watching the sunset I went back inside and began watching tv with Kootch and the kids. Loveboat was just beginning. What a masterpiece! We all (except for Kootch who was not tripping) cried over the most beautiful love stories we had ever seen. After Love Boat was over we continued watching tv through the evening news at ten oclock. Mark said, 'I'm comin' down real fast.' I said, 'Shall we strangen things up?' Mark went to the freezer and retrieved a nice juicy bud (of Colombian Gold), crumbled it, then rolled it into a joint and lit it up. We passed it around and everybody got at least one hit.

As 'things got strange again' I went back into the living room and put on some Beethoven. Glorious! The pot took about two to three hours to 'wear off.' Not only had it done it's job of 'strangening things up' it had taken the edge off what is always a 'hyper-caffine' feeling as the Acid wears off. We were all 'crashing' (coming back to normal) quite rapidly.

Kathleen and I decided to take a walk. We walked around the neighborhood at midnight totally unafraid. We talked. It was 'a father-daughter thing on Acid.'

Later, everybody, including Kootch, has hit the sack. I can't sleep. I decide to take a shower. Just as I reach for the hot water control I have the fleeting impression that the showerhead is really a cobra, ready to strike. The impression disappears. I take my shower. I still can't sleep.
I go to the kitchen to raid the fridge. I eat some leftover veggies but the leftover roast disgusts me. I eventually go to bed. I don't sleep.
