Best in Best Show!

I object:  one man with a chainsaw would be no match for swarms of angry birds.  Several people with nets, perhaps.  And having seen several grown men panic when a bat was flitting around the upper reaches of the bar one night, I defy you to claim that people of either sex don't go a tad loony at the thought of some flying thing getting caught in their hair.  Add the possibility of pecking/biting, and pandemonium ensues.  I know, I know, people are extra phobic about bats, but I bet if it had been a sparrow, all the same people would have started squealing.

The bat story had a happy ending, by the by:  one unfazed fellow brought it down to the floor--gently--with his shirt, and I scooped it up and released it outside.  Me, I would just as soon have seen it remain indoors and take care of some of the mosquitoes.

I remember my younger brother and I watching a re-run of Lost in Space on our small, portable black-and-white in the "book room" in Massachusetts in 1972 when my crazy Scottish mom ...



... came hurtling through the living room, past us, and into the kitchen.  A scream, and then, again: through the dinner room, into the living room, only this time with a beret jammed down to her ears and a bat pursuing her.  It wasn't actually pursuing her (probably just trying to find a window to get the hell out of dodge) but it cemented itself firmly into my brain.

The memory, not the bat.

The Birds is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

Perhaps this will clear up the confusion: I meant a BIG hat.

The grogginess mixed with the surprise must have made Bert seem like a falcon in my eyes. Still, I opened the door and ushered him outside as gently as possible. I think after the second time, his feelings were hurt, because I haven't seen him since. Come back, Bert! Well have a Supercalifragilistic time!

my cat:

Miss Miranda is so ... distinguished.  Is that even the right word?  Regardless, she brought to mind this guy:

[Fido]

Shhh!  He's dreaming of a soppying wet tennis ball.

And that's what my pet would probably look like, if I had one.  It's one reason I will probably one day leave my shoebox Manhattan apartment for a life considerably less urban.  So that I can own dogs and they can run free without being confined to 700 square feet and the occasional walk on a leash. 

[Sarah]

Heck, even Lubec has leash laws.  Campobello, however, does not; perhaps you should look into settling there.  Unless you can afford to buy a lot of land where you can impose your own rules, of course (and convince your dogs never to stray from it).

This is my dog Alice, she just had surgery.  She is tops.

Hang in there, Alice.  Dog's hate those Elizabethan collars, and for good reason.  She seems a very sweet dog.

David those photos are beautifully shot!

I present Sasha and Nico: perfecting the art of synchronized lounging since 2003











sorry for so many pictures but i think you get the full "Synchronized" effect by seeing all of them. Side note: They hate each other.

[Sarah]

You people are going to make me get a digital camera.  And are you going to regret it when I do.
