Every morning she climbs up on me and ritually sneezes in my face. This is, according to the lad I got her from, pretty normal. She is struggling less and less when I brush her; when she’s about as relaxed as I can expect, I’ll bathe her. Jeff has made me swear a mighty oath [...]

Here she provides editorial comments as I try – for the umpteenth berloody time – to get “The Evening News” into Songwriter. I think it’s wonderful she caught me working instead of putzing around on reddit.com.

I’m on a date with my new friend … I took him to Horizons. We’re walking around in the garden behind the restaurant and my cell phone rings. It’s Katie. “What’s the name of that song by that German woman that was on that album?” “What, “Wir Leben Immer Noch”? I say. “Yeah, how do [...]

Miss Margot is very lethargic after her boosters. The injection locations are very tender and so we left her alone except to encourage her to eat and drink. Watched the concert movie of Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris…. very tasty. My new friend turned me on to that. It was lovely to see Keith. Unless [...]

Woke up at 2. Eddie crying in my room again, but this time he let me pet him for about half an hour. Could not for the life of me go back to sleep. Did not want to go to work. So…. tired…. Another commute to work in the drear rain, which magically transmuted to [...]

I think Katie was a little taken aback at just how flat Miss Margot’s face is, but she was charmed nevertheless. Jeff, Paul, Keith, Kate and I watched the last two episodes of Planet Earth (in High Def, did I mention that part?) and I fed everybody spaghetti and Jeff bought Mayan Chocolate ice cream [...]

When I was so small I was practically transparent, my father first spoke to me about short selling. It’s about how you take a bet, preferably with somebody else’s money, that a stock price is going to drop. The first time pOp explained it to me I thought it was the stupidest thing I had [...]
