The Weekend Races
I didn’t accomplish but a fraction of what I’d hoped to do this weekend. Saturday I did get my hair done, but again got talked out of getting it cut really short. My hairdresser is very good at convincing me that if I just grow it a bit longer we’ll be able to do all…
Was I ever fifteen?
Funny you should ask that. I was fifteen, once, enough years ago that I wince when I calculate back that far. Two-thirds of a lifetime ago, I was fifteen. Age fourteen was my perfect year. That was the year I was editor of the school newspaper, I was in accelerated math and English courses, was…

The ones here in the Northeast prey on mollusks such as clams and oysters. They are voracious, and a single starfish can eat as many as 50 clams in six days….

I was looking forward to this veterinary convention, but in light of the last several days I’m no longer enthusiastic about it. I feel like I’m leaving too many unresolved issues behind me. Tonight I need to…
Easter with Mary

Pity parties and clothes shopping.
I seem to be heading into another pity-party-period. I think it was the clothes shopping over the weekend that set it off. There’s nothing that ruins a person’s self-image like cruising the maternity section of a department store for clothes when you aren’t pregnant. Except perhaps cruising the maternity section of a department store for…
Oh dear…
So sorry.
*sniffs*
BassPlayer was home for lunch when I got notified about this, so he saw it, too. We both thank you very, very much for this, and for your encouraging words elsewhere. They mean a lot, coming as they do from someone with your own background in veterinary medicine.
And no, it’s not too early to joke. As I told someone else, I’m sure that if there’s a cat heaven, Vogue is probably trying to put the fear of God into God himself right now. Heh. 🙂
What a gorgeous little face! I really wish I had known her.
rest in peace Vogue, i didn’t know you but i do know that your kind are true innocents in the world and bring amazing amounts of joy with no strings attached.
