For the Love of a Dog

You might want to get a tissue before you watch this 11 minute video.

I'm In Love

If you ever have a moment to spare when driving through Healdsburg be sure to make a detour. This winery is well worth your time. Every wine they make is what I call "snuggle worthy" - deep, bold, perfect in every way. If you don't like it I'll give you your money back.

They are by appointment only so jot down the phone number & call when you are in the neighborhood: UNTI VINEYARDS
4202 Dry Creek Road

Stupid Criminal

San Jose Mercury News - SF police say man wanted to burn Grace Cathedral

Three reasons he's not the smartest criminal in the bunch.
1) The Cathedral is a poured concrete structre - hard to burn.
2) He told his friend what he was going to do.
3) Fireworks.

Good Thing We Get Along

I just got off the phone with an attorney - looking for help in filing the paperwork to dissolve the Domestic Partnership. Even though it's amicable and J lives in NYC and all out property etc has been split up we still have to wait six months. Welcome to the longest break-up in history. By the time this is all final it will be about 16 months from the time was said the words "we're going to break up" to the time we have no more ties to each other.

Sometimes it seems like so long ago. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday.

What Took So Long

I LOVE the Muppets. I love SNL. Why did it take them so long to put this skit together? Maybe they needed Maya Rudolph - she's perfect!

GOATS!

I am happy today. Yesterday I was driving home up the canyon & what to my wondering eyes should appear but dozens of goats happily grazing on the hillside. YAY my goats are home.

The City of Oakland rents goats to aid in fire prevention. They wander about the hills at the end of summer "mowing" the weeds.

As I was looking for some pictures & links for this blog I came across two sad stories about these goats.
Hundreds of goats die in Marin accident

15 goats in herd grazing on brush shot, killed

Not this year

I just noticed on my calendar that today could be my 3rd wedding anniversary...

Where have I been?
