I'm Confused
There has been wall to wall coverage this morning on almost all of the television channels of a wedding in England. Did any of you know about this?

Things I Truly Wish Donald Trump Would Come Clean On
His hair. Below are statements Trump has made about President Obama and his birth certificate edited by me to now address the issue of Trump and his hair. Most of the time I've replaced the word birth certificate in his statements with the word hair. Other times I've changed words to reflect the fact that we are now talking about hair.
"I have hair. People have hair. He doesn't have hair. He may say he has hair but there is something about that hair— maybe it's fake, maybe it says he's a vain SOB, I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want hair. Or, he may not have hair."
-March 30, 2011
"I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding. He spent $2 million in hair products trying to get away from this issue, and if it weren't an issue, why wouldn't he just solve it? I wish he would because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in history, period. You are not allowed to be a president if you have a bad comb over. Right now, I have real doubts."

“Maybe I’m going to do the tax returns when Trump does his hair. I may tie my tax returns-I’d love to give my tax returns-I may tie my tax returns into Trump's hair.”
— April 19, 2011
“I've been told very recently, Anderson, that the hair is missing. I've been told that it's not there or it doesn't exist. And if that's the case, it's a big problem."
— April 25, 2011
The man is a overgrown child saying outrageous things just to get attention. When is the media going to learn.

Doggie Update
One more week to go and then we can let Little Sally Pumpkinhead outside by herself and take down the doggie pen that has been sitting in the middle of my dining area for the last seven weeks. She is so full of energy it is hard to keep her in some semblance of calmness and quiet. Part of me knows this good as it means she is almost completely healed but it feels like we have been living on a cliff with no fence between us and the edge with a dog who is determined to jump off.
If being the catcher in the rye hasn't been stressful enough, the other day Little Sally Pumpkinhead ate a 12 inch length of dental floss. That got her half a can of tuna, two tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, and a ten minute walk around the yard. After she vomited my husband the engineer took an old toothbrush and drug it through the soft pile of goo until he found the floss. He wanted to make sure she no longer had the floss in her stomach before he cleaned the mess up. That I understood but not his need to squat over the vomit holding the floss up and examining it as if it was the holy grail.

The Joys Of Parenthood
My sister got this text last Saturday night from my 21 year old niece:
"I'm at Shotgun Willies (Strip Club). Happy Easter Mom."
My sister texted back:
"Me too! Look behind you."
It seems my niece and three of her friends have always wondered what went on inside Shotgun Willies and decided to give it a visit. They took a cab and the driver teased them as the spent their time in his vehicle discussing whether or not the new Smurfs movie was going to be any good. Once they got inside Willies they were so obviously out of place that one of the women on the stage leaned down to them and said, "You girls are so endearingly awkward."
That statement makes me proud. My niece and her friends were raise by parents who taught them to be open and accepting of other people and I think those ladies up on the stage could tell that by the way that they behaved while they were there. Today, these four girls are my heroes.

Friday's Child
Nancy Sinatra
Friday's child, hard luck is her brother
Friday's child, her sister's misery
Friday's child, her daddy, they call hard times
Friday's child, that's me
Friday's child, born a little ugly
Friday's child, good looks passed her by
Friday's child, makes something look like nothing
Friday's child, am I, yeah
(Guitar Solo)
Friday's child, never climbed no mountain
Friday's child, she ain't even gonna try
Friday's child, whom they'll forget to bury
Friday's child, am I

Thursday
Morphine
We used to meet every Thursday
Thursday, Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple a beers and a game of pool
We used to go to a motel
A motel, a motel across the street
And the name of the motel was the Wagon Wheel
One day she said, "C'mon C'mon"
She said why don't you come back to my house
She said my husband's out of town
You know he's gone till the end of the month
Well I was just so nervous, so nervous
You know I couldn't really quite relax
'Cause I was really never quite sure
When her husband was coming back
So it was one of the neighbors
One of the neighbors, one of the neigbors that saw my car
And they told her, yeah they told her
They think they know who you are
Well her husband is a violent man
A very violent and jealous man
Now I have to leave this town
I gotta go while I still can
We should have kept it every Thursday
Thursday, Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers and a game of pool
We should have kept it every Thursday
Thursday, Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers and a game of pool
She was pretty cool, too!

21 Years Today
Sorry/Grateful from Steven Soundheim's musical Company
Spoken: Harry, You ever sorry you got married?
You're always sorry, You're always grateful,
You're always wondering what might have been,
Then she walks in.
And still you're sorry, and still you're grateful,
And still you wonder, and still you doubt,
And she goes out.
Everything's different, nothing's changed
Only maybe slightly rearranged.
You're sorry-grateful, regretful happy.
Why look for answers when none occur?
You always are what you always were,
Which has nothing to do with, all to do with her.
You're always sorry, you're always grateful,
You hold her, thinking, "I'm not alone."
You're still alone.
You don't live for her, you do live with her,
You're scared she's starting to drift away,
And scared she'll stay.
Good things get better, bad get worse,
Wait, I think I meant that in reverse.
You're sorry-grateful, regretful happy
Why look for answers, when none occur?
You'll always be what you always were,
Which has nothing to do with, all to do with her.
Nothing to do with, all to do with her.

Ruby Tuesday
Rolling Stones
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, at such a cost
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose", I head her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time, lose your dreams and you
Will lose your mind, ain't life unkind?
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Come Monday
Jimmy Buffett
Headin' up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day week-end show
I've got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll
And honey I didn't know
That I'd be missin' you so
Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side
Yes, it's been quite a summer
Rent-a-cars and west-bound trains
And now you're off on vacation
Somethin' you tried to explain
And darlin', it's I love you so
That's the reason I just let you go
Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side
I can't help it honey
You're that much a part of me now
Remember that night in Montana
When we said there'd be no room for doubt
I hope you're enjoyin' the scen'ry
I know that it's pretty up there
We can go hikin' on Tuesday
With you I'd walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can't wait to see you again
Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side
