I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

10 blissful years

Happy anniversary to me!

P.S. Does anybody have the announcement?

Vouyeristic pursuits

I spent half the morning with Boston's Geriatric Society* peeping at birds, trees, and flowers. At the cemetary, of course. Yes, family, I have become Dad. Kimberly, this place makes me think of you - I have a feeling you'd love it. I saw hundreds of spectacular birds; unfortunately, most of them wouldn't sit politely for a photo shoot.

*They haven't officially accepted me into their cabal, and insist on giving me dirty looks despite the fact that I clearly have a pair of binoculars.

Dumbo, of course.

I've always been easily riled up by social injustice. My earliest memory of such an instance was when I was 3 years old watching Dumbo being taken away from his mother. I cried and cried when Dumbo visited her in jail and she stuck her trunk outside the bars to rock him because I couldn't think of anything sadder than a child separated from his mother. Now that I'm an adult, I still can't...

I love you, Mom!

Go ahead: try to watch without crying. I dare you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CORf1liT9cE

I don't have to steal Princess K afterall...

Cami said I could have Ivy.*



*For six months, at which time I am to return her, but by that time we'll be living in Barbados... don't tell.
