My pet rat is trying to outsmart me.
His brain might be bigger. Beware this is a post about my unruly animal kingdom. May not be suitable for non-animal lovers eyes. I bought a litter box for my rat Nicodemus. He insists on laying in his own pee. I don't get it. It's like he prefers to stink. Mmm..pee smell....goes great with a little...

How Do I Know?
So Many Questions. Did it ever occur to them that I don't know the answers? By "them" I mean my family. It goes something like this. Why did he have to die? It was his time. Why was it his time? He had so much to live for. He did what he came to do. What's that? Suffer? Live in pain? Die in pain? He...

Among other loves is Scriber...a modern day Henry Miller...writing raw with language and descriptions.

Remembering Conversations
It's hard to go forward when you want to go back. My brother was my favorite person in all the world, and selfish me finds it impossible to love anyone else right now.

Ten Things to Make Your Life Happier
Ah...there was a list of ten things but... it got tucked in a pocket, dropped on the dirty ground, walked on by feet, dragged through the mud, crumbled and tossed, plucked out by a squirrel, tossed into a fountain, blown into the trees, left in the rain, dried by the sun, webbed by a spider, knocked...

But if you have something funny or uplifting I can read, let me know. I can seriously use some cheering up. Much
