today i took shortie and giz (mom and dad\u2019s very lovable pekinese, in case you haven\u2019t been KEEPING UP) for a car ride. shortie and giz are so enthusiastic – i just had to say “car ride” and they went crazy, barking and running around, and they leapt into the car and were very excited about the ride, even though it wasn\u2019t actually exciting at all, we weren\u2019t driving to cozumel or anything.<\/p>\n
but they kept up their exhuberance, leaping from the front to the back seats, sometimes looking out with window, sometimes trying to dig down into the seats. and then, after a while, they both just laid there, happy to be in the car, taking a trip.<\/p>\n
i think there\u2019s a lot to learn from dogs.<\/p>\n
just being happy about the trip. being excited, being content, excited to go someplace new, even if it\u2019s just across town.<\/p>\n
dogs. maybe i\u2019ll be a dog in my next life.<\/p>\n
hopefully one with a doting owner.<\/p>\n
i guess that\u2019s the one (huge) drawback to being a dog – you\u2019re at the mercy of your owner.<\/p>\n
but we\u2019re all at the mercy of something\/someone, aren\u2019t we?<\/p>\n
can you tell i\u2019m writing this about three hours past the time i should have gone to sleep?<\/p>\n
i saw “a few good men” tonight at the theater centre. it was good. intense. i wasn\u2019t looking forward to it so much, to tell you the truth. even though mac warren loves the intense dramas (after the show he told me that he likes a comedy if it has some bite in it. does the play i wrote have any bite? probably not), i can take or leave them. but i was surprised at how good and intense it was.<\/p>\n
not to mention the bonus attraction of all those men in uniform. <\/p>\n
the play was long, but i didn\u2019t get bored. a little girl in front of me fell asleep, but i thought that was just as well. it\u2019s not a show for kids. swearing, a violent death, and i\u2019m amazed, actually, that she remained asleep with all the yelling going on.<\/p>\n
enough already.<\/p>\n
