Caring,compassionate, co-conspiritor,friend through,frustrations, follies and all colors of shit! Bridget is a sheltering rock of articulate,civilized conversation. She's tuff ! Ive seen her roll down hills,tumble,over tree trunks,and take a shot to the crotch from a wasp and three of his brothers.She is a nurturer and lover of life.She once saved a pond full of every polywog,tadpole and full, fledged frog ,from certain death.Protected forests from ravage ,and fire.Filled her yard with trees,taken from tiny seedlings,others would have torn out and discarded.Looks after kids,with Down syndrome,assists the autistic.Shes really an amazing example of a human "being". Bridget knows blood sweat ,beauty and Oh honey, am I glad to know her.

about me
LIKES: Good novels; writing; cats; all four seasons; theater; watching things grow (plants, animals, other writers); working out
DISLIKES: chat; IM's; full-time jobs; homophobes; racists; people who let their kids and/or dogs block skate paths (do you realize how hard it is to stop on inline skates?)

Yesterday I wrote with Steve. Afterward, we strolled down Broadway to The Wok Express, a Chinese/Vietnamese carryout place run by a handful of friendly Asian folks. I’ve never asked their nationality, but going by the menu and their small stature, I’ve thought they might be Vietnamese.
Steve and I got half-orders of the special fried rice, which is cheap there, plentiful and very good. We sat in the back, talking about gravity and relativity, Pluto and John Updike, and the strangeness of ...

The pavement is wet. Local trails are mushy. This is a day for the Coyote work-out.
These Rollerblade brand skates, with their big rubber tires, can go anywhere a bicycle will. They sneer at wet pavement; they lap it up.
I love it that Rollerblade named their trail skates after the Trickster.

My dad called Sunday. Among other things, he told me that he got a bag of dried corn to feed the squirrels in his backyard. Four days in a row, he placed an ear of corn outside and it would disappear; the squirrels would snatch away the entire thing. On the fifth day, he was tardy in bestowing the offering upon them, so the squirrels brought back an empty cob. Seems to me that this is how religions are born.

Been trying to rhyme "vertical"
Not having much success
I'm really not expertical
In trying to express
A synonym for vertical
Is something up and down
Stripes on an umpire's shirtical
A lamppost seen downtown
When trying to rhyme vertical
It's best to keep it short
To draw in like a turtical
Might be my best resort
Another rhyme for vertical
--but this keeps getting worse
I'd rather have dessertical
Than write another verse

Becky and I visited my mom over Christmas, and as usual we brought Batman and Tempest. When we got to Mom’s house, I fed the cats and gave them water. Once they were settled, Tempest got on Mom’s lap. She seemed uneasy, though. Her tail kept twitching and she had not put down her head.
I noticed that she kept looking toward the TV. Mom was reading a magazine, and the TV was off. I told Mom that I thought the cat wanted to watch TV, so she turned it on. Immediately Tempest gave out a rumb...
