Right now I feel happy and shiny and good. I keep finding things on the web that make me laugh and cry and smile and ache and fume and want to share them with the rest of the world. Instead, I'm sharing them with my friend Matthew. Matthew who signs my guestbook as a former friend. Matthew who I will give a handmade book to when he visits me this summer.
A frog is croaking outside my bedroom window. A frog with no pond. He sounds much nicer than the 8 years of trains I have endured in this neighborhood. For living 6 blocks from downtown central, I have a lot of wildlife. Birds galore, woodchucks, squirrels, rabbits, frogs, and oppossums. And the neighbor's cat, Biko, who likes to come to my house and beg for treats.
And mice. I mustn't forget the mice, although I haven't seen any lately.
