Another day is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.

Arundati Roy

Quoted by Steven Lewis at Jack Layton's funeral...

When in doubt I always return to the favourites:

A man said to the universe:

"Sir, I exist!"

"However," replied the universe,

"The fact has not created in me

A sense of obligation."

Stephen Crane

Seconded by this wonderful old boxer whose owner dressed him as a pirate on halloween.

I just found an excellent definition of my thinking process. I have a grasshopper mind. That is why I started this blog and why I get distracted and forget what I was going to say on the blog.

This picture I call Patti's Pit Bull...not because I have adopted a pit bull but because it is such a neat title!

This is Tyson who was abandoned and rescued by the people at the local dog run. They thought they had a foster home for him but the family cat named George beat him up the first night and so for a moment he was fostered by Rags and his owner.

He was a very distressed puppy. The good news is that he was adopted by a family who understands pit bulls.

There is a group of people in my area who have made it their goal to redeem the reputation of pit bull. Their dogs wear neckerchiefs and want nothing more than to be patted. They are a fascinating and much abused breed.

I guess I'm going to have to get me a pair of roller blades!

Choose to inhale. It is not always easy but it is essential.

I'm not going to apologize...I've been chasing alligators and dreams...but I have worried...I've been...stultified...and today...I made this and I liked it very much so I am...back!

I know - it's hard to see...but it is appropriate I think...this is my month...I am an Aries!

Some people talk about their bucket lists...the 100 things they want to do before they die.

My concern is with my bus list...the 100 things I need to tell someone in case I get hit by a bus...
