Happy ending
So my neighbor just knocked on the door wanting his dog back.

Do you want a blind, smelly dog?
Fatma came by late in the day to have cay and as we sat catching up and planning grand trips to everywhere – a woman drove up in an SUV, opened the door and tossed appeared to toss a bulldog out into the street. The bulldog stood in the middle of the street disoriented, then stumbled over to the sidewalk and was running into things. Fatma and I ran out and thought the dog was…

Looking for love in all the wrong places
Here’s what I know for a fact today: when you meet the person you could fall in love with, you’ll know it – there won’t be any doubt. Whatever you do will be the right thing to do. I say this because everyone agonizes about every little thing they should do when they meet someone with potential – and as Gomez said a while back, it doesn’t matter what you do, if the other person…

Gracias a la vida
I truly feel now that I am being followed by a moonshadow – some force so positive and lovely that I’m being caressed by its tendrils as it floats me along in the ether. Ivette sends me this after I tell her how I am feeling – how la muneca makes me walk inches off the ground:

Ode to a mallard
There have been email volleys circulating around the neighborhood forum about a female mallard found strangled by a plastic grocery bag and the male mallard who has sat watch over her. One writes, “mallards mate for life” – and others lament “humans destroying nature” – and still others bemoan the “careless act of littering and destroying our quality of life.” Writing about loss, about longing, about tragedy and betrayal drips off our pens … while writing…

Quote of the day
Something about this NYT quote of the day made me smile (only out of context with what he is really referring to): QUOTATION OF THE DAY “You’re asking me to tell you how we’re going to get to a place we’ve never been, with a map I don’t have.” COL. STEVEN DAVID, a military defense lawyer, when asked for details on the capital case against six Guantánamo detainees.

And my lovely toro – here is what your horoscope says:
Don’t worry — that pain in your heart is probably just one of Cupid’s arrows, and it’s a piercing that looks good on you! It’s an awesome week for you in matters of the heart overall, with your sex appeal especially fiery on Tuesday and Wednesday. But, again, don’t worry — Thursday (and Friday too, plus through the weekend) brings energy that’s just right for letting what’s on your mind and in your heart be…

More will be revealed…
and late this morning I sent a text to J that said, “if more is to be revealed, I’m walking off the planet.”

A night that lasts forever
I had a date on Saturday night that now feels more like a journey than anything else. It seems like another lifetime ago when I stopped in at J’s house on my way to meet T to have a couple of glasses of champagne to take the edge of my nervousness – and then there was music, dancing, new friends, talking, and a strong gravitational pull that gripped and tugged at the ground beneath my…

Living for two
I went to take mom on errands this morning and our Saturday brunch was moved down to lunch – we sat in a booth in the dimly lit bar at Houston’s on Veteran’s Boulevard and I told her about Mardi Gras – brought her pictures – we traded quips by Ivette, we laughed about some of the goings on from the Endymion party, I told her about Fat Tuesday and my MGGF – and we…
