christ did a cow shit in here?

here's the opening line to an email i got this week:

Hi Heather!

It's Emily R##s..you know the one that said "Christ did a cow shit in here?" in a nice little play and yes I believe you peed your pants on your parents dining room chair...that was me.

her family of 3 girls around the ages of my brother and me, i was oldest by a couple years, Emily was youngest by a few years, would come visit for a couple weeks in the summer and we would go to their house at bonnet shores in rhode island for a couple weeks in the summer too and we would do plays. the one she's talking about she was maybe 4 or 5 years old and i was about 8th grade and she knocked on the front door in a skit from 'kentucky fried movie' for a fake air freshener commercial, she had white hair like an angel and knocked on the door and said 'christ did a cow shit in here' and it was so funny i peed on the chair.

it was either this year or the following summer.



emily is on the left, the sign says 'politics in review,' my brother has blue eyebrows.

the truth is you don't want to hear my stories, you want me to ask you about the best parts of yours.

happy mother's day!

may all you lovely ladies who care for younger beings be pampered and appreciated all day today! mothers make the world go round! holden & nacho just gave me a gift card to the carwash where i can finally vacuum the mounds of dog fur out of the trunk carpet - score!

deep thoughts

it would be cool if you could run something like a wire or heating element through the center of a corn cob and heat it up and pop the corn from the inside. i wonder if it would pop off or stay attached.

big easy

new orleans was awesome, i had a stellar birthday weekend. the city is way more beautiful and cleaner than i'd imagined. many buildings are from the 1700s and have so much character. jazzfest was super, the food was super, everything was easy.

thousands of words:

the stranger on my right completely hogging my legroom

jama jama (spinach), fried plantains, chicken fricassee, hot sauce from jazzfest fairgrounds




doc watson has workingman's blues




franky & johnny's gumbo = super great




new mastersounds + dj logic = show started @3 AM incredibly high energy funkfest



north carolina's nice too.

my birthday is coming up, and i've gotten some very nice cards in the mail. i am pretty sure my mother thinks my birthday is today, since today was my due date.
i find it amazing that my aunt jojo and my mom have almost identical handwriting. they are both very neat and classically beautiful letter-formers. their other sister writes nothing like this, and neither do/did their parents.
is penmanship nature or nurture?

this weekend has been excellent. other than when there were 5 dogs in the backyard and holden the mad scavenger took the opportunity to sneak off and run away down the street. i walked down yelling his name and a guy came on his stoop and said "black dog?" i said "YES!" he said "eating the compost in back?" i said "YES!"

please take a second and wish my mom luck in her bridge tournament today. she won a big tournament last week, in her own words:

"It was a regional tournament at the Sheraton in Smithtown, We won one of the bracketed (handicappped) knock-out competitions. It was so much fun. Will play again all day Sunday in a Swiss team event."

go bridgemaster joycie!
