Not Quite Famous: But Certainly Well Known.

 


We were at the Nathan Benderson park last week.    We came across two women who were walking their dog.  One of them said that she felt certain that she had met Z at another Park.

I asked if it could have been at Arlington Park.  She replied "Oh yes, and his name is Zion!"  


I was at our local independent Pet Food supply store on Friday to get some NUTRO kibble for Z.  

There was a bit of gentle confusion as to who was next in line at the check out.  It wasn't me.  The woman ahead of me asked  "It's Zion isn't it, and Michael ? NOT  "Michael and Zion" .  I know my place!

Turned out that the woman and I have met from time to time at the 8:00 a.m. opening of our cult meeting: a.k.a Trader Joe's.

There is no locally owned version of Trader Joe's.  But I am delighted to take my business to an indy Pet Supply Store;  and also to our Sarasota treasure -  an Indy Bookstore where I ordered a book today.

Fie on Amazon and on the Pet Food chains.  I am lucky to live in SRQ where we have great local business.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
