More from the princess
I wish I could have my couch to myself.
At last. Now could you turn off that light?
Nobody knows how I suffer.
The Dog Whisperer and the Princess
Margot is a good dog, but she has issues. Even though she’s been in a loving home for many years now, living on the street left its scars. She hates loud noises; thunderstorms and fireworks are particularly hard for her. She gets along great with Guinness, but with other dogs, her timidity and playfulness are in conflict. This often causes her to charge and snarl at Rex, who can’t understand Margot’s moodiness when he tries to engage her in a game.
She got in trouble with the Dog Whisperer for her behavior during one of these incidents, and here’s what happened afterward.

You be the writer
Neither of these people is me. What do you think they’re doing in The Compound Library?
…The Compound Library… Sometimes I, too, crack myself up, FARB.

The best combination: art, friends, and coffee
Today’s coffee cup is actually Tim’s. He left it over here a couple of days ago, Tom washed it, and I grabbed it this morning because it’s big and I NEED COFFEE.
On one of Jim’s visits to Houston, we went to a jewelry exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts. Afterward, in the museum’s gift shop, Jim bought this cup for Tim.
Here you go, Mark, a haiku
Headache, Day 3.5
Some improvement. Still writing. I love my water.
San Diego Boy Gone Wild!
Thank goodness I can live vicariously through my friends. Steve recently went to an undisclosed location in Idaho near Sun Valley to elk-gaze. He said I could share these photos of elk in the wild. I asked if they smelled, and he said it was too cold to know. Since he’s from the city with the best weather in the country, I think twenty-degrees caused a huge shock to his system.
Beautiful landscape, magnificent animals. If they make you want to shoot something other than a camera, please don’t tell me, okay?
