Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And now, of course, I have to go grade. Wish me be-more-stubborn-than-the-silly-mistakes, please!

(Oh, and could somebody please say "hello" to post # 17 for me? Thanks!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Today I saw a sign that said:

DEAF
CHILDREN
DRIVE
CAREFULLY

and I'm thinking, even if deaf children drive carefully, should they even be allowed to drive?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have finished my big paper project thing for this course. I need to journal just a bit more, and then find the haikus I wrote, so they can be put in the yearbook.

And then decide whether I'd rather try to finish Book 5 or drink booze on the porch.

Dog is my co-pilot.

We may try acupuncture (!) to deal with Teddy's constipation.

Fred Pete, all of my dogs (4 at present and 2 previous) have benefitted from veterinary acupuncture. Hope it helps Teddy!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, cool site:

Plug in an address and it will quantify how walk-friendly a neighborhood it is (i.e. lots of destinations) 0 being bad and 100 being super-convenient. My current house gets a 78, my childhood home an 18! (Which I thought was horribly isolated and boring AND I WAS RIGHT).

It also has a list of 'celebrity addresses' and Fenway Park gets a 97, whereas Bush's Crawford ranch gets a 0....
