Stray cat

It spits, twitches, jerks violently, screams and dies.

Serendipity

Road trip looking for fried pickles. Finding old friends with lots of connections. Sending samples to 3 major hotels. Thank goodness for free coffee.

Back to the grind

Falling back into the everyday. Responsibility is different this time around. Almost a decade has been spent in the place you will call your own. The only one you will answer to is yourself. Answering to yourself sounds more terrifying than answer to a board.

Cheers

Travel south for a new adventure. Sleeping in hotels where ghosts walk the hallways. A simpler life you observe. The burros growl while the horses steal your carrot. Nine years since the first date and it still feels new.

Obama Blows

Exit polls read that race is a motivating factor in the voting. This election cycle proves the theory that people only hear 7% of what is said.

Hubert Humphrey said "The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."

Ask yourself in what direction does Obama’s moral compass point.

Smile

Climb the stairs and trust imagination. Something you’ve never seen hides behind the door. Yesterdays hallucination is today’s reality. Walk through the halls of the Bavarian monastery where the birds sing lustily. Fall atop the train of peace and close your eyes.
