My tenants, now my close friends, and their dog. There is some saying...'when you are ready to learn, the teacher appears'. They have shared my home for three years and I would not have survived without them. I suppose that this isn't 'a little thing'. :)

Knowing that, as yet, I have no spring flowers in my garden, my Japanese gf gave me a bouquet of tiny jonquils and snowdrops yesterday evening.

LOL!! Now that's your evil mind at work,not mine. The SHHHHHH was meant to indicate that he not know the bulb was burned out so as not to replace soon. It's not immediately as evident to him when it's burned out because it doesn't shine on him.
(I will admit to having fantasies of,I am ace with a slingshot,or I used to be.... ;))

I told my mother that I'd come and see her at 4:45 and she said "oh, a quarter to five!" -- believe me, even a mental conversion that simple is a major achievement in her condition.

that's fabulous Kerouac. Does she often have breakthrough moments of clarity like that?

Good news, Jazz, but it's hardly a little thing!

My mother answered the phone this evening, and that is becoming rare.
