in honor of sweet molly!

It's a few minutes now until Molly's appointment. She lived a good, long 16 years! She was such a funny cat, mischievious, and brought a lot of joy. Thank you sweet Molly for being in my life!

Those of you from high school might remember this song I made up our senior year. Of course I sang it well into college, so you folks might remember it, too.

School's almost out,

almost time for Mol-ly,

you can call her Cur-ly,

Curly Girl for short.

School's almost out,

almost time for swim-ming,

you can swim and hold your breath,

hold your breath under water

and float.

School's almost out,

almost time for wor-king,

blah blah, wor-king

yucky.

flavors

I had a pretty awful dream last night. But also very illuminating.

Metaphorically, it gave me the chance to taste the difference between pity and compassion.

I'll describe more as I mull and let the dream settle.
