If you know what's good for you, you'll do what's good for me.

"If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected."
--Chief Seattle (Thanks Melissa Jo).

‎"That is part of the beauty of literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."
--F. Scott Fitzgerald

I couldn't sleep, so instead of lay in the bed restless, I decided to get up and find something to do: first on the agenda make a water with lemon, and some sleepy time tea. It was probably the green tea that I drank right before bedtime for my allergies that had woken me up, and kept me awak.Pretty Penny growled at me as I entered here kitchen; i had woken her up, and was still a bit of a stranger in her home. My partner was still asleep. I was hoping that my nightime restlessness was not disturbing her.

I
They are the type of company that is always sending you an email saying, "only X number of days left," as if they are not, again, soon, going to have some sort of percentage off sale. They are always offering an alleged percentage off, as if we don't know that their percentages off are built into their sales prices. They are going out of business. It's not a surprise really.

We are home! One of the cats puked next to my chair; was that his way of saying that he was pissed about our leaving him for a couple of days?!

Sometimes, if I get mad at a piece of paper, I will throw it out.

The turtles were glad to see us, upon our return to the abode. You wouldn't think a turtle would much care about such things, but mine did, and do.

I just went to the most incredible Yoga class, lead by Stephanie Foxman. At times it seemed that, "the restorative class," as Stephanie called it, was too slow, and easy; but when I left the class, I was completely calm. Praise Yoga.

I am out of my odorless molecularly distilled omega-3 fatty acid pills:1200 mg fish oil 600 mg total epa & dha. By the sound of it, you would think that I would have keeled over upon missing the first pill, but I am, somehow, still living.

Facebook is the only place where you can tell folks that you are going to walk your dogs, and a guy you don't know in California will "like" it.

I don't look so much like a bum in my black gym shorts, and black sleeveless t's as I got some new ones from the evil empire for three bucks a piece. Some of the old ones are headed to the trash, today; I am tired of seeing myself in them.

If you can't afford the gym, do push ups at home, and hit the sidewalk instead of the treadmill. If you can't be with the one you love, love yourself.

I think that "making love," and "fucking" are two different things.
ML=F(not).

If you have no mayo and relish to make tartar sauce, can you put a horseradish mustard on your fried fish? ("If I don't get some shelter, I'm going to fade away."---Song Now Playing.

I just had a lovely fried fish/corn on the cob breakfast("You just might find you get what you need..."is the song playing now, but don't you hate it when people tell you what they had for their meal!!!!???

Thing I don't mind doing: feeding a horse. Thing I have no interest in doing: riding a horse. Thing I don't mind doing: watching my kids ride a roller coaster. Thing I will never do again: ride a roller coaster.

I have given up on the idea of keeping Dylan off of my Yoga mat, when it is out. I will have to share my sacred mat with a dog; he won't have it any other way. With that I am off to Yoga Class; two nights in a row this makes: yahoo, see what a Yogi can do with days off, and cash for classes!! Namaste.

Dale W Miller: We just told, our daughter, Kennedy she needed to finish her OJ before the security checkpoint at the airport, letting her know they don't allow any liquids past that point. She responded saying, "Do they allow lollipops on the plane?"

I've, once again, got a house full of Great Danes; Henry and Anna are with me for four days: yeah!!


The turtles tank needs cleaning, again, and it has only been 11 days since I last cleaned it; those dirty little reptiles!

I am headed to the chiropractor for an adjustment in about an hour. The only part that I don't like about the process is when the good Doctor takes my head in his hands and quickly cranks it sideways, to one side, and then another. It is certainly an act of faith on my part to let another human being do such to me.

Something that a junkie, drunk, and Tom Petty agree upon: Coming down is the hardest thing!

After the cats were done eating their morning wet cat food treat, Henry got up off of the floor, and went to Jaggar's bowl, and starting licking it, as if there was something good, and plentiful, to lick in that bowl, which I know was not true, because both cats had already attended to that bowl, this morning. Usually, I don't let a dog anywhere near a cat bowl in this abode, but Henry seemed so happy licking the empty bowl that I let him go at it.

Henry did not have the best night. He kept barking at something(s) outside, untill he finally climbed up onto the bed with me, where he found comfort. I had The Love Porch locked, so Henry could not have been barking at an inturder to that space. There must have been people walking on the sidewalk, and or people walking their dogs on the sidewalk, who were irritating Henry, or maybe it was one of those invisible butterflies that Henry is prone to bark at from time to time.

I love Henry.
