Items like these items could bring you down: From the NYT: Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales suggested on Thursday for the first time that the president might have the legal authority to order wiretapping without a warrant on communications between Americans that occur exclusively within the United States. The attorney general made his comments, which critics said reflected a broadened view of the president’s authority, as President Bush offered another strong defense of his decision…

Darlene has taken over Cliff’s mail route and I have not received a piece of mail since Cliff left. What goes on? I asked D and she said, I thought you moved. I just wanted to beat my head against the mahogany column of the LaLa house. Then yesterday Darlene was sick and another mailman was delivering and he said I had no mail because Darlene had sent it all back. Why I moan, I…

Looking around at everyone that came out for the first Wednesday concert – and George Porter in such fine form – and I know I am in heaven – a community who knows how to enjoy music and life and forget all your troubles forget all your cares and go downtown – later sushi since Slice was so busy – met my twin not in looks – turned down the date even though the last…

Today was outstanding – a cool morning and the Bean and I walked around the bayou solo till we caught up with K who was waiting camera in hand to take a photo of Renny’s tail since he is doing a series for the TP on things that remind him of storms. So nice outside I came back and went for an easy run and realized this might be the last of these kind of…

Dinner party last night had too much red meat and wine and therefore there was no sleep for the weary – I think I actually slept two hours last night – the black circles under my eyes are proof. My incoherent nature midday was further proof. Sleep is so underrated – it can change everything and make you less weird. Like I broke down in Walgreens today passing the GI Joes, but I think I…

My Pilates instructor playfully calls me Kitten and Kitty and doesn’t understand why I screw up my face when he does – oh come on, where’s your smile? he chides – I grimace at him. After Pilates yesterday morning, L came with me to get my dining table and coffee table and chairs – he then sat in the back of the truck, Jethro style, and held the tables while we inched home. Once in…

A nice chat with S to catch up on work and personal issues and she tells me she is trying to keep her chin up – I told her my thoughts today were about fear and what a counterproductive emotion it can be. Her son sent me a drawing of a saguaro cactus with my name on it – I have it taped on the wall. It seems to me all the revelations that have…

A large alligator, possibly more than one, has been discovered in the Bayou. A dog got eaten the other day. Watch yourself. Last night’s celebration was just what the doctor ordered – fun – exciting – T and G were awesome bookends – and the oysters and champagne just kept coming. How incredibly blessed am I to have met both of them and even later in the evening yet another – the night was wonderful…

I’ve been feeling familiar tugs that keep me in a kind of whirlpool or (as some might call it cesspool) frame of mind. I had a heart wrenching dream about V last night that has lingered in my thoughts all morning – oddly W was a grown up girl and the baby was a boy – it was very surreal. At mid morning I pulled Blue over to stop a rampage of thoughts that appeared…

Joke to start your day – S caught up with N, L and me and the dogs to get us to sign the petition against the cluster mailboxes this morning. The post office in all their infinite wisdom has decided that they shouldn’t have to deliver our mail to us in our houses because there is too much “debris” to walk through to get to the mailbox because of Katrina – so they are going…
