    You both look pleased to be in such fine company.

    And this is the loveliest picture of you.

    And, perhaps you'll try your hand at poetry or try it further or...

    What a great photo! I think it would be best to
    frame it and hang in some place of honor in your home. Perhaps near where you read, so you can look up and see it!! ...debbie

    I am sure he felt just as honored as you did!

    OH, what a perk of being perforated :)
    Yes, Kim, it was a wonderful afternoon.
    NO, JES, I kept my hands to myself since his fiancee was sitting by my side.
    Framing and hanging is a great idea, Debbie. I am looking at the exact right spot over my desk.
    As to him feeling honored, I will say that I was told that HE wanted to meet ME.... whether that was gloss from my hostess or the truth, I'm choosing to believe it and revel in it.

    You know, I think I'd like to frame that picture myself and add it to the array at my house. Hoping that's okay. I'll have to replace my kaput scanner/printer/whatever machine, though, so I can print it on photo quality paper. Incentive.

    AB- A radiant beam, indeed. I could be wrong about this but I remember seeing you on national news not long after the shootings, and marveled at your grace and courage, recounting the events. It is good to see you smiling - proof of the power of healing vibes.
    Btw - I came here by way of Nance, and I'm glad I did. Great reading. ;)

    That is a keeper, and most worthy of framing!

    Fame, that you didn't ask for is sweet nonetheless!

Hi there Burrow faithful, Little Cuter here, with news on my amazing mom. As most of you probably know by now, my mom attended the Congress on your Corner event yesterday at her local Safeway. Just as she reached the front of the line to shake Ms. Gifford's hand a gunman appeared and began shooting with an automatic weapon. My mom was shot three times.  That's a sentence I never thought I'd have to type. Right this very minute my mom is in the ICU with her leg in a traction. She suffered a wound to her left chest, one to her abdomen, and a third to her right hip. She is incredibly lucky that none of her organs were hit, even though one of the bullet's entry wounds was in her abdomen. She has been taken care of by some fantastic and proficient doctors and nurses, and a wonderful social work team. My mom is the toughest broad I've ever met. She is awake and talking and cracking wise and we can all rest assured that the woman we love is still here, kicking ma...

A Gentle Monsoon

The Golden Gophers are staying at Not-Kathy and Dr K's home this weekend.  It's been our plan to have all six of us live in Tucson.  The plan seems to be coming closer and closer to fruition. The K's are snow-birding, because Chicago is wonderful in the summer and they live right above the Ralph Gehry designed  bandshell in Millenium Park. A picnic on the grass with fine music happens just about every night for them, and they have only to  ride an elevator and cross a street with their wine and refreshments.    While waiting for his wife to retire, The Golden Gopher has been volunteering and traveling and getting things organized so that they can move from Phoenix, which has been good to them, to Tucson, which, I am certain, will be better for them. They spent today looking at neighborhoods.  The sun was out and the clouds were fluffy and the temperatures were below 100.  The air smelled of creosote - just like the creosote syrup in h...

What I Know

I know that short Jewish girls from New York do get shot. I know that time does stand still. I know that my grandmother was right to remind me to wear nice underwear in case it had to be cut off me on the concrete in front of Safeway on a sunny Saturday morning. I know that total strangers will put themselves in danger to save the lives of others. I know that being a passenger in a med-evac helicopter is a very cool experience, and that I was right to turn my head and see my town spread out below me. I know that I am loved. I know that Gabby Giffords and I are married to very handsome very passionate very wonderful men. I know that pilates and yoga and strength training and aerobic exercise provide you with "remarkable bones" which can hold a host of pins and plates and other paraphernalia and I know that without my time in the gym my experience right now would be very different. I know that The Bride and Seret and MTF and Little Cuter and SIR will drop whatev...
