Interpreting The Language Of Dogs & Cats

 As I'm cooking, the dog has a tendency to sit right outside the entrance of the kitchen.

His head is tilted slightly to the right, one ear cocked. His face has a half begging, have demanding expression that I swear says "Where's my cut?"

The cat usually sits on the floor just beyond the dog, staring at his back with a fairly stern expression (for a cat, anyhow), that says "God, you're pathetic."

Writers' Block (Head)

 A friend sent an email asking if I had writers' block (due to all the pics I've been posting lately). I replied with a resounding no (which is kinda hard to do with email).

I am actually writing quite a bit these days, but I am not posting what I write due to the nature of what I'm writing.

It's a bunch of "life-is-cruel" malarkey. 

Yeah, we all know life is cruel, no need for anyone to be reading my perspective on it.

Discordant Alienation

                                                            Better days in many ways

 It's been a rough first six weeks of the year 2021. Friends of mine have passed on, and there seems to be a pall of gray smoke hanging over everything.

To say I'm not feeling much in touch with anything or anyone these days is almost a vulgar understatement - gotta get my head back on straight.

Day Fades To Gray

You struggle to remember the laughter
The smiles, the knowing glances
The joy of all those magic moments

All you have before you is emptiness
All you have behind you
Is all you had.

The Absolute Cold

Dealing With It

RT's wife passed away last week
It was sudden, unexpected, and devastating
When I received the news I was too numb to react
How could this be?
CT was young, vibrant, alive, a part of this world
And now she is not.
I didn't have the chance to see them the last time I was in SD
I should have found the time
I should have made the time
Two of the best people I've ever known
CT was a beautiful person, inside and out
And though I feel grief
I cannot imagine the grief
Of the man who was lucky enough to spend 
More than half his life with her
My soul mourns for you RT
My soul mourns for CT
My soul mourns for your family
