The sun is up...the sky is blue...

In memory of my sweet sister Sue
1954-2006







She was from the orange blossoms, mango trees, and birds of paradise.

When she was 4 she had a duck named Squeaky.

She was very proud of her Beatles board game.

Sue made a monolith cake for her humanities class.

In college she waded through chest high water in the Everglades collecting specimens.

She was a daughter, a wife, a mother, and she was my sister, and I miss her.



"Comedy shows are ok, but it's my sisters who can really make me laugh." Sue

Please leave a massage...

My post yesterday upset melvin. I'm sorry. To rectify my horrible sense of humor, I will indeed lighten things up a bit.

A couple of posts back, I mentioned how I hope no one thinks of me when they here "Love Vigilantes" by New Order.

My question to everyone-what song would you like people to think of you when heard?

I'll start off by saying mine would be (no laughing, giggles maybe, but no laughing and definitely no teasing)

So mine would be "The Girl from Ipanema" and Love and Rockets "So Alive".

Total cheese I know.

Broken on a ship of fools...

..even dreams must fall to rules..so stupidly.


Today I just may have solved any of my financial woes. As I was crossing the street in my stupid little town, a huge white paneled truck screeched to a stop as my 3 year old and I dashed across the road. I looked to see who the crazy ass driver was and it was Richard Butler. Oh yes, it was him. He was in town picking up paintings from a local a gallery.

I was young and you were old...

1-Cleaning up today and I found this pic of a painting I did about 10 years ago. I don't think I was angry at the time, but somehow it makes me think I was. I like it though. It's in dire need of some TLC.

2-I know I have been listening way too much of New Order lately and this pushed me.

In the car I heard-

"Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you

As we get old, we lose our place
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
I feel so low, I feel so humble
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good
Cause you know they would
Don't let anybody tell you what you should do
Cause it's not that way and..."


I cried. I cried because I don't want to be this song and sometimes I feel that I am.

Free love...

If in need of a pick me up today, just watch this. I can never get enough of David Brent's dance.
