My Favorite Blogs

  • The Plagiarist
    Michele's little brother's blog. Ok, so Michele doesn't really have a brother.....but he's the closest thing in her only child life to a brother, so read it.
  • What Would Cookie Do
    "Just a guy living in boston, trying to stay out of trouble while helping society's kids do the same. by day, at least." So says the blog....I say, read it because it's intelligent, even though Cookie is NO Aubrey.

Every Day Another Adventure

The thing about changing everything in your life is that it makes the world a new place.  The last time the world was a new place to me, I was a cub.  That wasn't an easy time. Sure, everything was a discovery but I didn't know how to do anything.  That was hard.  It is hard now.  There is a reason why many of us don't want to go back to childhood.  It's nice to already know things, it is nice to be comfortable.  Oh well.  On with the adventure!  Every day is a new challenge.  Drink rum and go with it.

Spring is in the Air

I have become an Apartment Bear of late, as I have no mascot duties/job.  As I flew to the liquor store this evening, I was suddenly overwhelmed.  The trees were closing in on me with their precious light green leaves that were dampened by the rain.  I know I should have only seen beauty but it seemed oppressive as if they were closing in on me.  It seems like the trees suddenly have a burden.  These are the sweet life-beginning leaves of spring... and yet all I see is less sky. 

I have pondered so very much since my girls have moved on but it is a long tale of obscured views.  I'm not even sure I know where I fit in this world quite yet, but I shall try to share my perspectives anyway.  Rum pretty, sky obscured, trees oppressive.  I thought of a song as I got mildly wet in the rain tonight.  "I need a phone call, I need a raincoat, I need a big love, I need a phone call."   I'm tufty now, I hate tufty.  I also hate being a bear who thinks this much. I really do.   Kisses.
