Fredrico and Fantasia

Meet Fredrico and Fantasia.  They cruise by every morning to graze on worms and such in my yard and say hello. 

Welcome to My World

My blog is officially open to the public today. It will be interesting to see who shows up here, as I have formally invited no one. So, if you happen to stumble across my space, come on in, have a seat, a sip of tea (guaranteed hobbit-hallucinations), and a peek inside my world....

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy 11/11!

I love 11/11 - 11:11.   I have no rational explanation for the thrill I get when I spy these numbers on clocks, license plates addresses.  Some may say I am slightly obsessed.  All I know is there is just something about it....

(enter site with caution:  may fall through an  energy vortex or other trans-portals into unforseen dimensions!)

oh my!

Maybe it's time to put away my outdoor furniture... (sigh)

I voted this morning before I went to work! Virtually no wait, which was surprising. I proudly wore my I VOTED sticker all day.....

Delightful Water Universe (Revolting Ideas on Revitalizing the American Dream)

Went to the Premiere of Trent's new movie, The Delightful Water Universe at the Rose Wagner theatre last night. Classic, quirky Trent.  It was interesting to see the familiar landmarks, as it was filmed in my backyard, Salt Lake City. I'm sharing very little of the plot details because, as with most of Trent's movies, I have to think about them for a little while.... They are so odd--delightfully so, and worth the pondering.  I have been to a few premieres but this one was by far the most entertaining. The sideshows made it all the more surreal.

A mariachi band played outside the theatre; yodelers with alp horns performed in the lobby; a barbershop quartet harmonized from the balcony. And then, just before the movie began, a parade of dancers, led by Bigfoot on one side and a samba dancer on the other, shimmied and rocked on to the stage.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention.  My home-boy cancelled his gig on SNL to show up and support Trent. (He said it was the most fun he has had in a while....)

 

Can You Blame the Sky?

Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind

Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind

Can you blame the sea, Oh can you blame the sea,

'Cause she's a flowin' in that water deep

Is it the dirt that you envy so

'Cause in it her strong roots still grow

No, no, no

No, no, no

I'll blame those birds flocking so

I'll blame those birds flocking so

Blame those birds flocking so

'Cause with them she's a flying

Oh, cause with them she's flying

All those mama's are flying

They're watching us from above

They're watching us from above

Dropping their feathers with a mother's love
