Henry went to The 420 Festival in Candler Park, and had to leave because he broke a toe nail. At first, Henry loved all the people who were coming out of the huge crowd to say hello to him, and pet him; but then he started to get scared, and tried to withdraw from all the attention. He is home, asleep, now.

I didn't break my toe nail, this afternoon, at the also very crowded Dogwood Festival, but I did quickly walk away from the incredible number of people who surrounded me during my brief foray into the event, in Piedmont Park. I mean how do people live like this, ten deep to look at a piece of art, standing in line for a half hour to take a piss, line a mile long to buy some over=priced bad for you "food?"

One of the robins who inhabits the nest that they built at the front of our porch just landed. I would much rather spend my time here, with birds, and dogs, than be with the mass of man, and woman, at either festival. The road less traveled is the place to be.

I'm learning to play chess. As a kid, I played the game once or twice, but never developed an interest in it. It seems like a game that I might, now, have the patience, and enthusiasm for. I bought a $4 chess set from the dept. store, and am reading a website about the game. Do you play?


I made a great batch of homemade hummus, a cottage cheese based veggie meatloaf, and a lentil based meatloaf, before I got on the phones and worked for an hour.

Nobody is answering, so I am going to head out to where they all, possibly, are: at The Dogwood Festival in Piedmont Park. First, I am going to take the dogs around the block, so that I don't get tired, and blow it off later. I hope that you are having a brilliant day; I really do!

I rode on a Ferris Wheel, tonight.

The eye doctor says that I have cataracts in my eyes from the sun. He also says that I need glasses. This is your opportunity to put money in The Tip Jar to help fund my sight!

I am going to help unload, and redistribute some food, today, and for doing that, I get paid with food. I love the barter system; cash is so passe! My vegetarin meat loaf, with the cottage cheese base, tastes even better this morning. I want to learn more, and more, veggie recipies, and eat less, and less, animal. I have a recipe for a lentil based meat loaf, which I may make this evening, and I am going to make some homemade hummus. Don't you just love these little intrusions into my life that I bring you into. One day they will compare me to Sedaris, and Burroughs. For now, though, i am just me.

Beyond Banana Bread: I have my first ever veggie meatloaf baking in the oven; cottage cheese is its base; can't wait to see how this turns out!

Morisson will eat homemade hummus, but won't touch homemade tarter sauce. Dylan will lick the tartar sauce about fifteen times, and then quit. There wasn't enough leftover hummus to offer Dylan any.
