February 7th, 1998

I met Sue at around 1:30.
We ate breakfast... because I was just waking up.
Sue has a cyst on her wrist.  Like a tumor.  It's nothing dangerous, but it's starting to bug her.
Sue asked me to promise not to write anything about the cyst in my diary.
But I couldn't make that promise.

She wants to get rid of this cyst... but she doesn't want to have surgery.
She wants me to help her get rid of the cyst for her.
She tells me that if I hit her wrist really hard, with a bible or a brick, that the cyst will break under the skin.
This way she won't have a scar from having it surgically removed.
 My girlfriend wants me to break her hand with a bible.

I can't do it.  And I feel bad for letting her down.
I just don't think that it is a safe thing to do.
She said that it is perfectly safe, and the doctor recommended it.
I said... Then why don't you ask the doctor to hit you with a bible?
She said that a doctor would not do it, only recommend it.  A doctor would only recommend bible hitting.

She is mad that I'm writing about this.
She says... That if I do write about it, don't call it a cyst.
She prefers that I call it a ganglion.... A GANGLION
She finds that word more attractive.

I will not smash my girlfriends ganglion.  I am not a violent man.

My father had a cyst on his head once.
I showed up at the doctors office the day of the removal.
I showed up with a camera and an electric frying pan.
I plugged the pan into the wall and I asked the doctor... Can I have my fathers cyst?
Can I put my fathers cyst in this pan?  Can I eat my fathers cyst?

The doctor said that I would get sick if I ate my fathers cyst.
He said, "Eating a father's cyst will make you sick."
I was sad, my father relieved, the doctor confused.
We left in tears.

So I met with Ray in the edit suite at around 8:00 p.m.
Ray is going crazy.  He is working like a crazed dog.
I came home to go to sleep.  He stayed and edited all night by himself.
Ray Hagel is the man behind the scenes making this show happen.
Ray is the shows director.  If you want to thank him...  he shares his girlfriends e-mail.
