Late yesterday afternoon, some buyers contacted me and asked if they could see a certain house today. I knew the house, knew it was vacant, and knew it would be all right to show it on short notice. "Sure," I said. "Let me know if there are any others you are interested in, and I'll see if they'll be available."

Now, this part of Pike and Wayne County is a popular destination for vacation homes. The weekends are often the busiest time for real estate agents...buyers...

I was feeling pretty sorry for myself, last night, disappointed to find my perfect dog, Sam, only to have him adopted before I even finished my application. With selfish crocodile tears, I picked up my Zune, and flipped to audiobooks downloaded from my WA library service.

Hmmm, Robert Thurman PhD's "Liberation Upon Hearing in the Between" -- wonder what this is about? Oh, what the heck? I pressed "Play."

Wow! Hold on to your seat, what a fast ride...

In Defense of Pitbulls


I have a great pitbull. She is sweet, obedient and loyal. Her name is Lola, rescued her from an animal shelter, she's almost 2 years old. I walk her daily and she gets to the dog park every other day.
An issue I have is that whenever I am out with her someone always feels the need to "school" me on pitbulls, I cannot tell you how many misinformed people there are out there, so I'd like to take the time and clear up some misconceptions...

It seems to me that we humans spend a LOT of time waiting. We wait in lines at stores, the gas station, for something to begin on television, and we wait for people to show up.

Right now I am in the last category. I am waiting for my SO to return home after being gone for awhile (just a week). It has only been since Sunday that I last saw and talked with him, but it seems like longer.

Yet, I think about the last BF's I have had. M is the first guy that I have ever been...

There are many things that are difficult to understand, and others, too hard to fathom. On the one hand, I can rejoice over living one more day and realizing every waking moment. As a matter of fact, I just celebrated another birthday. In case anyone's wondering, it's now 43.

Somebody please get the Geritol, the Just For Men, and the Metamucil on back order.

Imagine me getting closer to 50. Five-oh. Fiddy. Half a century. Can...
