Last night at Swirl just in conversation I said three cuss words – $60. Oh well, I’m trying but the jar is getting rich off my inability to turn off the cussing spout.

I saw a butterfly drift by the backyard on my way up to my office; Tin and I watched a pelican dive bomb for a fish in the bayou; and I looked over at the countertop where I had just put some white baby roses in my mom’s white vase from Spain and thought, ahhh.<\/p>\n
