butterfly

To the guy I shared a lap lane with this evening,

I know you were unhappy about having to share a lap lane, but in all fairness I was in the lane first. I've shared a lap lane with you on previous occasions and each time you have been less than pleased about the fact.

And while I understand that, it still doesn't forgive a couple of things.

The girls have been spending a lot of time lately playing and exploring the great outdoors. Typically it is just a matter of minutes before shoes are shed and bare toes squish slick green grass, although in our backyard we have to watch for doggie land mines, if you know what I mean. We’ve been taking family walks at the nearby greenway and going up to the local playground.

This butterfly appears to have a clipped wing. The break at the base of the left hindwing looks too straight to have happened naturally. It cuts at least four veins cleanly, right in a line.

Whenever we go to a public swimming pool, I inevitably attract the Child Who Will Not Shut The Hell Up.

This post violates most of my own Pith guidelines (not local, nothing new to report, no homegrown links), but what the hell.

I don’t know what a music review is supposed to be, as I am not a musician or a critic, just a listener. So I’m going to simply tell you why I like the CD Glimpse of Glory by Jenny Youngman. And if you comment, even just your name (make sure it clicks to an e-mail address), you might be the lucky winner of this CD in my random drawing! The winner will be announced on Monday, December 3rd. Wha-who! Free tunes!
