Journeys

Monday, May. 25, 2009 - 1:07 a.m.

It was a day of journeys.

Helio Castroneves won his third Indy 500.

The Space Shuttle landed safely at Edwards.

And I am finally getting the hang of my octaves.

Sunday night, John and I watched The Full Monty, which is one of our faves. The Sheffield accents warranted my use of the close captioning, but it's kind of a universal story in a way, so I can still watch for context if they're turned off.

Hey! Look who's here!... It's LAILA!

Now, I know her eyes are closed, but both of her eyes are healed, and look!

Her cast is off, and her fur is returning. :-)

This picture was taken by Dave Marron, who has graciously been sending me images from his phone, and is now also sending me the occasional picture taken with a stand-alone digital camera as well.

She's doing pretty well, although we could sure still use assistance with her vet bill.

Please, folks, if you have the capacity to donate anything at all, there's the button.

If you are strapped right now, that's perfectly okay; I know there's a lot of you who are thinking good thoughts for Laila a whole bunch, and that's excellent.

If you have today off, good for you.

If you are on the road today, I'm thinking good safe thought for your journey.

If you served this country? -- Thank you.

And, mindful of the date, if you are heading to The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, don't forget your towel.

That's it. Have a good Monday.
