I always read the headlines on the papers thrown in the morning while on my way to the park. My favorite headline – the morning after the Superbowl needless to say. I’m wondering why us lord, why does Louisiana need a setback like an oil spill that is creeping into our marshes, threatening our food supply, our wildlife, our industry, our everything? Today the headlines were about BP and their arrogance in this fucking awful…
I meant to post this earlier but travel got in the way and then today we learned that Toby’s other dog, Bismarck, has cancer. This woman is wonder woman having saved so many German Shepherds all because of one dog, Fargo, who won her heart. If you even have $5 to give – you couldn’t spend your money on a more worthy cause. SUBJECT: NOGSR (New Orleans German Shepherd Rescue) run by Toby Burroughs Dear…
When I walked in the door T1 was very excited to see me but T2 acted like I hadn’t even left. He came around in a few moments and decided he needed a lot of hugs. But after being gone for what was close to and feels like two weeks, it’s good to sort of get my land legs back at home. I picked up the vacuum cleaner that has been waiting for my return.…
A neighbor walked by the other day with her daughter on her bike; I’ve watched them go from my neighbor walking by pregnant, to her walking by with her baby in the stroller, to her walking alongside her daughter, to now her daughter riding by her bike. Amazing, because I think this happened in the blink of an eye. Her daughter collided with T’s car and she was most upset because she dropped the fairy…
My neighbor’s young son had a craft tent at the Bayou Boogaloo and next to him was a vendor where no one seemed to be shopping at her booth for the three days of the event. On the last day, he took the earnings he made from his sales and bought a necklace for his mom from that vendor to help her out. Okay, now that deserves bragging rights. What a sweetie pie!
My neighbor is reporting dead birds, dead dolphins and more is yet to come from this oil spill mess. My other neighbor doesn’t want to talk about it, her two sons work for BP and one said that, “You know what it is like to get up every morning and work for the most hated company in the world?” Meanwhile reports say the top kill effort might be working. What a mess!
I met on Monday the woman who introduced me to the attorney who led us to Tin. She has four children now, one adopted via the same attorney. We shared our stories and of course, sentimental fool that I am, I welped up right away. Where would my life be had my friend and colleague not taken a proactive stance to force me to talk to her friend who had successfully adopted? The long crazy…
I dreamed last night that a friend was lurking in my shed and when I went in there to see why Loca had been locked in the shed, I found a newborn baby covered in amniotic fluid. A baby girl. She had blonde hair and she was so tiny, she almost reminded me of my little Miracle baby niece when she was born. I quickly got a towel and wrapped her in it and called…
I’m staying at The Alex on 45th Street and in the elevator is a green light that says when it is lit, help is on the way. I just want a green light in my office or bedroom at home that says the same thing. I could just flip a switch and the green light would act like a placebo fooling me into believing that help is on the way.
