The Journal (All New)
Well he did with Ellen's husband when he died. Guess he wasn't sure it was a demon.

May 17, 1991:
This would have been our thirteenth anniversary. Lace. Eleve is steel, twelve and thirteen are silk and lace? Feels like it should be the other way around, that steel should come later. Or maybe once you've proven you've got the steel to keep a marriage going, then you get to enjoy the silk and lace. I'll never know.....

Re: The Journal (All New)
November 2, 1991:
Mary has been dead eight years. I've been learning about reapers. There's more than one, and it's not always a hooded skeleton with a scythe, but that's where I'll start. The traditional Grim Reaper is a skeleton or solemn-looking man carrying a scythe, who cuts off poeple's lives as though he were harvesting grain. Death personified is a figure or fictional character which has existed in mythology and popular culture sinc the earlies days of storytelling. Because the reality of death has had a substantial influence on the human psyche and the development of civilization as a whole, the personification of Death as a living, sentient entity is a concept that has existed in all known societies since the beginnings of recorded history. In the United States, Death is usually shown as a skeletal figure wearing a midnight black gown with a hood, while in Europe he is often dipcted similarly but dressed in white, which is the traditional color worn at funerals in many places.

Re: The Journal (All New)
December 25, 1991:
Sometimes I think Sammy has been reading this Journal.
But he's not going to read it tonight, beause here we are, Christmas night, and there's two hundred miles of scrub praire and desert between me and them. No Christmas tree, no carrots and milk for Santa and the reindeer. A couple of days ago I handed them presents, and they gave me a set of night vision goggles that Dean must have pinched from a gun show we passed through in Amarillo a couple of months ago. They're growing up without me. And they're both starting to act out a little, because we're apart so much. Sam gets resentful and has some trouble handling his temper. Dean tries to fix everything and keep us together as a team. Neither of them should have to do those things. After this year... the succubi and Mrs. Lyle (Lilith?), Silas.. this has been a rough one. They came after my boys. We made it, but they're goin to keep coming. This enemy doesn't quit until it they're dead, and I don't even know who's sending them. How do I fight them?
And how do I avoid this question: Would the boys be better off somewhere else, with someone else, living normal lives? No. I am their father. They belong with me. Merry Christmas everyone.

Interesting that he's bringing up Lilith...didn't realize she had a connection to the Winchesters that long ago.
What a sad way to grow up, but Dad did the best he could by them. They ALL deserved a little bit of normalcy, Dad included.

Re: The Journal (All New)
January 24, 1992:
Dean turns thirteen today. For his birthday we went out to dinner at a greasy spoon called Mama Janer's in Flint, Michigan. It's freezing and miserable here, and we're headed farther north to check out some things I've been hearing about shapeshifters in the North Woods, from Michigan allt he way across through Minnesota. Odd for them to be active this time of year, since there aren't that many people outside for them to prey on. It makes me think something big is happening.

Re: The Journal (All New)
March 30, 1992:
I thought the lesson was learned back in Wisconsin, but the same thing almost happened again. I left the boys next at beach in Two Lakes State Park, and went looking for a skinwalker, and then it was Ichi all over again. Only this time the skinwalker took on the appearance of a park ranger it had killed, and nearly got the boys to come with it because they trusted the uniform. I still can't completely trust them on a hunt. I took it down, and lit into the two of them. Especially Dean. I have to be hard on him because one of these days I'm not going to be around, and he's the one who's going to have to look out for his brother. He's a bad ass though. I thought I was tough when I was thirteen, but Dean would have kicked my ass six ways to Sunday.

Re: The Journal (All New)
April 27th, 1992:
Procopius, Secret History, on Justinian:
And some of those who have been with Justinian at the palace late at night, men who were pure of spirit, have thought they saw a strange demoniac form taking his place. One man said that the Emperor suddenly rose from his throne and walked about, indeed he was never want to remain sitting for long, and immediately Justinian’s head vanished, while the rest of his body seemed to ebb and flow; whereat the beholder stood aghast and fearful, wondering if his eyes were deceiving him. But presently he perceived the vanished head filling out and joining the body again as strangely as it had left it.
Another said he stood beside the Emperor as he sat, and all of a sudden the face changed into a shapeless mass of flesh, with neither eyebrows nor eye in their proper places, nor any other distinguishing feature; and after a time the natural appearance of his countenance returned. I write these instances not as one who saw them myself, but heard them from men who were positive they had seen these strange occurrences at the time.
They also say that a certain monk, very dear to God, at the instance of those who dwelt with him in the desert went to Constantinople to beg for mercy to his neighbors who had been outraged beyond endurance. And when he arrived there, he forthwith secured an audience with the Emperor; but just as he was about to enter his apartment, he stopped short as his feet were on the threshold, and suddenly stepped backward. Whereupon the enunch escorting him, and others who were present, importuned him to go ahead. But he answered not a word; and like a man who has had a stroke staggered back to his lodging/ And when some followed to ask why he acted thus, they say he distinctly declared he saw the King of the Devils sitting on the throne in the palace, and he did not care to meet or ask any favor of him.
May 2, 1992:
Sammy is nine years old today. Last year on his birthday we were getting the hell out of Albuquerque. This year I nearly lost the boys because of a skinwalker. They're both learning but they've got a lot still to learn.

Re: The Journal (All New)
June 21, 1992:
Last night, Sammy woke up in the middle of the night telling me he was afraid of the thing in his closet. I went and looked. There was nothing in the closet, but I've seen too much not to believe that there could be. So I handed Sammy the .45 and told him the next time he saw the thing in his closet, he knew what to do. I don't think I'll win any awards from parenting organizations, but five night running now Sammy has slept witout nightmares. Sometimes a .45 under your pillow is all you need.
Daniel says vampires can't change their shapes. Says that's all an invention of Bram Stoker.

Mary has been dead for nine years. I've been on this quest, and I've accumulated so much stuff I needed to rent a storage space for it.

Aha...the first mention of the storage space. Ok, Dean would be 13 by then...Sam might not be aware of the storage space, but you'd think Dean would. Unless Dad just went there while he was out on his hunts and just never told them.

Re: The Journal (All New)
January 3, 1993:
Whether Scripture was read, or prayers were said,
Is more than the writer remembers;
But it runs in his head, ere the two went to bed,
They carefully covered the embers.
Yea, even much more – they locked every door.
Upon horses, cows, heifers and stirks;
The house-doors were barred and the gateways tarred,
Thus, showing their faith in their works.
What more could be done? Smith loaded his gun
With powder and ball and with shot.
“Near the head of my bed I’ll have it.” He said,
“And for witches and thieves make it hot.”
Gun loaded and ****ed and all the doors locked,
Let witches and thieves do their best,
Gates bolted and barred, and some even tarred,
Man and beast might slumber and rest.

Re: The Journal (All New)
January 24, 1993:
Dean turns fourteen today. He took off to the movies with a girlfriend. I think her name is Katie. Quite the ladykiller, that kid. Like I was at his age. Hell-raising, foul-mouthed, full of piss and vinegar. Silas had it right, he's like me. If I'm not careful with him, by the time he's twenty he'll have left a real trail of kids and arrests warrants all over the country.

Ben wasn't Deans, remember? Lisa had a blood test done. He just acted exactly like Dean.
And agreed on Sam, but I think Dad didn't realize that, or want to admit it - at least not until much later.
