I'll Be Back

I'm still alive, for whatever it's worth, so not to worry. Right now my time is totally consumed with trying to find a new (the cheaper the better) place to live, somewhere that will let me bring my quadrupedal family with. Not an easy task, let me tell you, but give me another few days. I think that's probably all the time I've left here anyway, give or take a handful.

By the way, lesson learned in my apartment search: "pet-friendly" is more often than not a misnomer. Very selective about their friends, most property owners are, my pets apparently being not so selectable. Wish me luck.

  1. Doug - I had wondered what happened to you. Glad you are still alive - and that is worth much to all of your fans. Take care and hurry back.

  2. I literally just said to my husband on the phone that I hope you aren't dead-ha! We had the same problem here looking for a place; some places wanted to meet our dogs first, so we knew we couldn't live there(my dogs are crazy when they first meet people).
    My complex is very dog friendly, but has a limit on 2 animals, so my cat is a secret! I just commented on Rain's blog about my animals-we're all psychically connected. Good Luck!

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
