Three Bits of Good News Today

1) The doc says that Geri's colonoscopy this morning is clear. That should be the last hurdle before she is officially put on the liver transplant list.

2) Writing Knights Press has just released a new updated edition of my 2011 chapbook Electric Company. Now it's perfect bound with a color cover and includes three poems that weren't in the first edition. If you want a signed copy, please PayPal $8 to me at jc@crisischronicles.com. Postage included in the US.

3) A month or so ago, Columbia Gas dug up part of our yard, including the tree lawn, to lay new pipe. Today they came back to restore and replant.

Lady

Good night, sweet Lady Persephone. I've never known a better dog. We have loved you deeply since 2005 when we moved into a house where you'd been left behind, and we're so fortunate to have had so many years with you. Here's a photo I took of you during our first Christmas together. <3 <3 <3

Dog Gone Hungry

We moved the spider plant out of Leda's range. So now she's eating my patchouli.

We will always love you, sweet boy.
