OK Universe. Have it Your Way.
Yesterday at the airport, the TSA agent informed me that I’d been “preselected” and I wouldn’t have to remove my shoes or jacket going through security. I actually got a mental bounce from that. My trip was off to a good start. As I got to the gate about 20 minutes before boarding, I checked my email and learned that the Denver meeting that I was flying to, had been cancelled because of a family emergency. Huh?? Suddenly, I’m back in a cab on the way home, disoriented, having organized the next 3 days of my life for cold weather and a nice hotel room.

Fantasy vs. Reality
At 2 AM, in the middle of a deep, delicious sleep, my dog started barking by the front door. Rose only resorts to this when her stomach’s upset, so I dutifully took her outside, she did her business and we trudged back home. It took a while to get back to sleep and then at 4 AM, the cycle repeated. And again at 6 AM. Most of the time, raising a dog is a sweet. fulfilling experience. On occasion, it really stinks. (Literally.) What’s like that in your life?

Boot Season
We’re starting another full week of near 80 degree weather here in L.A. It’s not that I’m complaining, but I’m ready to be wearing my new boots.
