Does anyone know when The CVS in Dublin, Ireland opens?


"Only when the last tree has been cut down; Only when the last river has been poisoned; Only when the last fish has been caught; Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten."
--Native American Proverb (Kudos to Rich Morrare for posting this).

Up at 7:34, but I immediately went back down until 8:57. The dogs are chomping at the bit to get outside, but they know darn well that I have to have my cup of coffee before we go. I've got water in my ear; I forgot when swimming, yesterday, that I need to wear ear plugs. Since I work at nights, now, I need to take my Yoga classes in the morning, and there is a great one, this morning, that I am planning to attend. Have a great day!



Precious One

I guess that I wanted to be a rock star
but, instead, I was a drunk,
and I would smash the guitars
in a blackout, and wake up horrified
to see what I had done.
When I sobered up,I did not smash the guitars
but, even though I took lessons,
the guitar, and I, were never to be one.
My youngest son plays very well.
It was I, me, me, me who bought him his guitars,
and who got him into lessons,
and, of course, he who practiced, practiced, practiced.
I think that the gift of guitar is a precious one.

I hate leaf blowers

The dogs, and I, were all set for our quiet walk to the end of the street; we weren't going for distance, we weren't out for exercise, we were just out to let the dogs do their thing, and let me get back to composing great works of literature. The walk is always pleasant. There are bountiful trees in our hood, and many pretty flowers to look at, but this morning, a woman was out making her paycheck with a leaf blower. The noise that leaf blowers make,makes me feel as if I am dragging my teeth along a chalkboard, or chewing on tin foil. I hate leaf blowers; they seem like such an unfair, and useless machine. Can't these folks use a rake?



I am tired from being at The Pool all day, and I don't feel like walking the dogs. Henry the great Great Dane, who lives next door, is barking incessantly. I need to let him visit, but I need to get my dogs around the block first. I need, I need, I want, I want, and the dogs need, need, need, and want, want, want. And so it goes!


Her goals are more realistic than mine

She wants to teach English
where I always wanted to write best sellers
that would have the whole world love me
but as I tried, I came to realize that
the more you get known the more people
you come to know of who don't like you.
But come to think of it, some people
don't like English teachers either,
so what are you to do, but be yourself,
and do the next right thing?



Who knows what time Trader Joe's is open until tonight? I need lemons for my water, and English tea for my blood. Morisson will accompany me there, as he always does.
