Hey Wisconsin, You're Up!

Who would have thought Wisconsin, land of trees and cows and pastoral fields of green and snow and more snow would be positioned as such a pivotal player on the political landscape as it may possibly be in tomorrow's Democratic primary selection process. Well, like it or not, they are; And if you're a Cheese Head Dem, please, for the sake of all humanity and news cycles get your pale ass to the polls tomorrow and give SOMEBODY a slam-dunk victory. If Hillary or Obama walk away with a huge victory tomorrow, it COULD lead one of them to finally drop out of this mess and give us back our televisions and a break from what will no doubt be the most contentious Presidential election cycle of the modern era. I just don't think we can keep this pace up through November, somethings gotta give so, Wisconsin, do your part and send one of these bitches packing, got it?

AFTERNOON CRUMBS...

The dog's been sick and is coming around the last 24 hours as I've tried to get back to a work-centric focus. I've spent the better part of the night saying things like "no-no" and "stop that" as little paws pull at the socks on my feet in a bid for attention and a game of Throw-The-Baby, our evening game of choice. He's having none of my preoccupation and insisting I stop what I'm doing and make it all about him. What a good boy he is, if not entirely selfless.

Heard from a semi-old friend this evening who's dad suddenly went away much like my poor mom. In his case however they know the cruel cause, heart attack, and only about 61. He talked of his mom sleeping on the sofa, not being able to bear going into her bedroom, heartbroken over the sudden loss of her sweetheart of 40 years. Life is cruel and you can't punch back...We're still at a loss for mom's passing with the answers being at the mercy of a country coroner who has no more of a medical degree than the stray pigeon sitting outside my window. So this week the heat will be turned-up, attorneys called and all hell will begin to unravel until we get the answer we so desperately need. How dare God take her away without at least as much of an explanation. I will have it, and country coroners and their secretary wives be damned, so THERE.

Could someone tell me how and why a head-buzzed, slovenly emaciated Ron Reagan Jr. landed a political talking-head gig on CNN and Larry King? Wasn't he a ballerina or something? Did Nancy cut him off or is Ron just attention-starved? All signs point to "All Of The Above".

Michelle Obama says she's never been proud of her country (that would be us) until her husband began being considered as the Democratic nominee for President.....Hey Michelle, go away now. Thanks.

I'm on Prednisone and it's robbing my sleep and making me buzzy at inappropriate times; like, BED time. This would have been a night to call my mom and update her on all things Massachusetts and what I saw today and how beautiful the city can be when the streets are moist and shiny. I miss her and sometimes think I smell her perfume, I miss her terribly, but I say that too much lately. It's a given no doubt to those who know me but, what else am I supposed to do?

I hope this is enough content for the Lafayette, La. Cajun who's been busting my ass about updating my site. I can just imagine how much they've missed me in France. ;-) This should do you till tomorrow, I still feel rotten and I'm craving some puppy time on the living room floor: Sweet dreams and happy Monday....
