Integrity – is that all we have?
I was thinking a lot tonight about what it means to have integrity and whether it is valuable.

What does your daily life look like?
I asked someone today to describe what their daily life looked like because I was trying to see if by visualizing what my daily life looks like and comparing it to what his looks like that he could make a quick assessment. I told him to keep to the working part of it. Is it me or has the world changed enormously in the last few years? Because my life doesn’t seem to have changed…

Eurovision vs. American Idol
Today hasn’t been an EEL day for Flower EEL or Wise EEL – only Queen EEL is living the high life, albeit a somewhat reduced version as she is in jetsetter mode again. EELs watch Eurovision – right now they are in round one and the clip below is the Israeli contestant singing a prayer for love.

Reading aloud
I went by my mother’s yesterday to bring her some Turkish cookies. Jake couldn’t wait to get there because he knew once she had seen the box of cookies, he’d finally be able to get one. When we got there, a young Hispanic man was sitting in a chair under her stairs reading a Spanish novel aloud. It struck me as the oddest thing – he was intent on what he was reading, almost like…

Transitions are never smooth
My mother said who would have told the story this way – Loca is scared of Bam Bam? But that is what is going on around here. Today we shared the same space, Loca on an leash of course, and distracted by food in her dish, but Bam Bam didn’t come cruising across the room to beat up on Loca. Arlene is an innocent bystander – they’ve learned to move through the same space with…

Scene: Clerk says she can only give me $12.99 for the shorts, I cannot exchange them because the price has gone down to $14.99, but they are running a special later in the week for $12.99, so that is all I can get is a $12.99 store credit. Redemption: None! Target sucks – I tell clerk I…

Off with Gambian President Yahya Jammeh’s head!
Jammeh said he will cut off the head of any homosexual that comes into his country in an effort to rid the world of homosexuality. Stupidity knows no bounds.

Repeat after me
I was trying to teach Jake how to say words that start with S – I was teaching him what my father taught me because I too had the same problem. I went around saying “pagetti” and “neaky” and “top” for a long time till my father said to just say s then the word – so it was s pagetti, then s neaky, and then s top. It worked. While I was going through…
