This spring fever business is getting out of hand. The weather in NYC has been absolutely perfect for about a week. It's startling just how much that raises my spirits. I mean, it's no mystery that sunny days make me feel better than gloomy days, but the degree of improvement is ridiculous.

Today is the day the Stone Roses album came out. It's a sure sign of spring when I'm dancing around the house to Elephant Stone. In my underpants. Slightly baked. With the sun pouring in the windows and the peas and lettuce and mustard greens springing up from the cold damp earth.
Even better is that the vet confirmed that Miss Kitty's heart isn't all...

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. For some reason I've been wide awake since about 5:30 this morning and now I'm drinking coffee, reading my new H.P. Lovecraft volume and chilling out.
I'm heading up to the Museum of Modern Art as soon as it opens, then it's hanging on the balcony with friends and beer.
Woo hoo!

I'm back at work after an excellent trip deep into the heart of Bavaria. I drank so much delicious beer and basked in the sunshine at the base of the Alps and just hung out with friends for a solid week.
I'll post some pictures soon.
Now I have to deal with the mountain of crap that piled up on my desk last week.

Last night in "The Fox in the Attic" I read the chapters all about Hitlers Beer Hall Putsch in Munich. I love reading books--history or fiction--that describe places I've been or am about to go. In just a few days I'll be able to walk the same path these characters took in 1923.

PEAS!
I planted PEAS over the weekend. And lettuce.
We had one of those excellent early springtime days here on Saturday so I smoked a big pipe of weedly weed and puttered around in the garden for the whole afternoon.
Even the blueberry bush--which we'd about given up on--shows signs of new growth already. Everything got fertilized and watered and truly dead things got tossed....

It sounds like a lot of fun as I love to be a people watcher, but I'm pretty sure it's not my wife's cup of tea.

I want that program! Oh man!
Rock on to your garden. I, on the other hand, was excited to discover nasturtiums out front, which grow without tending.
You win a prize! In my mind!

Have I mentioned that I'm going crazy for the Dutch?
I'm pretty excited about my trip to Munich--I leave in less than two weeks--but I'm now thinking about how much time I can afford to spend in Amsterdam in the summer. My friend in Munich is getting married to his German fiancee who lives up north of Koln, so I'm going to fly in and...

Hey how was the talk??? I love homestarrunner!
I love your bamboo/panda analogy!
I have been to Amsterdam twice; I have some Dutch friends. I LOVE it there. I totally tried to find a way to live and work there. My bf at the time wanted to as well, and was almost transferred there but it didn't work out. You should spend as much time there as possible!
Glad to here the kitty is doing well!

My best friend from junior high moved to Amsterdam. Even though she's back in the states, and we've mostly lost touch, I've wanted to go since, from all that she said then. I don't actually know too much about it, though, except for the craze for diseased tulips, which I read in The Botany of Desire (one of the most interesting books I've read in years).
And, by the way, 100 Demons is gorgeous. And I love her books of comics. humberthumbert got me into them, and then adapted some of them into a short play a couple of years ago.

Took Miss Kitty in for her follow-up visit. The surgeon was happy with her healing progress so she's free from the dreaded cone/lampshade/elizabethan collar. So that's a good thing.
The other good thing is that the visit was already included in the massive bill I paid last week.
The not so good thing is how vague the surgeon was about everything. Two of the masses...

Have you read much of her (Barry's) other stuff?
I couldn't be more excited that you're a librarian. When I die, I think I will go to the L.A. Central Library, if I work hard to deserve it.

It is such a huge gift to own a pet and have their lives intrusted to you.
When I made the decision to do what I had to do with my cat I felt horrible about it and still do.
But, I am glad he is no longer suffering.
I did have to start thinking about things from the moment I saw how sick he was and start assessing the situation right the as you are now.
It is a very difficult time and I wish you the best of luck as I know you will make the right decision.
Thank you for the well wishes and support.

Thinking a lot about cats and their mystical powers.
It's interesting watching Little Prince Buster interact with Miss Kitty. She's wearing the post-surgery cone and she has huge patches of fur shaved off with a big scar in the middle of each bald patch--I've been calling her Frankencat. And Scarface. There was a tumor on her face.
Anyway, we were worried he'd seize the upper...

Cats are mystical creatures indeed.
I wish Dan was not so extremely allergic.
He wishes he was not because he wants a kitty more than I do. The special visit made him very happy.
Even if we had to medicate him with two benadryl and some salve. It was worth it!
We have been talking about getting a Pug and naming him Woflgang but it's not the same.

I do not know what it is about you with something in your mouth...
It makes me crazy!
I am an even bigger freak than I thought.
Just kidding!
Impulse reply! I could not help it. HAHAHA!
