Hmmmm

My friend J and I were chatting via email and she asked me what animal does she bring to mind. Hers is a very leonine energy, coupled with a hawkish awareness and vigilance. So I said a lion hawk if there was such an animal. When I asked her what she thought I might embody, she said a wolf. Because, I'm a loner when I choose to be, social when I choose to be and mysterious. I can work with that.

An Adventure

My friend J and I had planned a mission to shop for some crystals for energy enhancement and protection purposes. The energy in typical "New Age" shops frequently sends me for a spin so I tend to avoid them. There is a great rockshop out in the wilds of PA that I'de previously visited with a friend. J and I set out for points west at about 10. Got where we were going at nearly 1130. And well, they're not open on Mondays. So we set off East again thinking we'd travel to New Hope and check out one of the New Agey places there. I missed an exit sign so we wound up in Center City Philadelphia. At the zoo, and it was awesome. I do love a zoo. Saw flamingos, elephants, tigers, lions, bears, pumas, penguins and other wild life.

Isn't It Rich?

When things are going especially stupidly at work I will frequently burst into song. The beauty of this is I’m quite tone deaf (pronounced deef in my fluent Jerseyese), the result of which is that everything pretty much sounds sea shantyish ala the Sponge Bob theme song. So, as may have become obvious from previous reading, I work for the government (pronounced gubmint – and in gubmint words like pronounced are convoluted into pronunciated, but I digress) so frequently what does transpire here is escalating stupidity. So the song of choice is often “Send in the Clowns”, because really nothing else fits quite so well.
