I haven’t had much time to do much writing.
I have not been happy about that.
So.
In order to cheer myself up, today I celebrated words.
It was fun.

Fun stuff from the interwebs:
LETTER FROM GRANDMA
My dear grandchildren:
As they haven’t turn off the lights, I thought about writing to you and telling you how I am.
It has been six months since I came to this asylum. Do you remember the first one you sent me more than 2 years ago? Well, they put me out of there because you didn’t pay the amount that you had agreed… No problem, you must have forgotten, for sure, with all the things that you have to do… As this is a benefaction asylum, the food is not very good and it’s only once a day; besides, we have a serious problem with insects and bugs, but Thank God,we have learnt how to live with them. There is a TV for the 250 elderly who live in the 30 rooms, even though it’s always broken and I don’t have much free time, because there aren’t almost any employees, so it’s my responsibility to wash the bathrooms every day.
The only friend that I had, died last month, poor one! It seems that the cold showers were not good for her. Nowadays everybody is a little younger than me, less than 90. My bunk mate doesn’t talk a lot because she has an advanced kind of cancer and every night she spreads a terrible smell in the room. That’s because they change her diaper only once a day, if they remember; the poor lady spends all day dirtying everything that is on her way. That’s why I asked for a change of my bed and since yesterday I’m sleeping on the top of the bunk. Well, I have fallen down a couple of times and I think I already have some broken bones because I can’t tolerate the pain.
Besides these little things, I’m ok, and I’m happy that all of you, and also your parents have had a lot of success. Unfortunately you are so busy that you couldn’t come to see me during this whole year. With so much time without seeing me, I think that someone of you don’t remember me very well… that’s why I’m sending you a photo so you can remember and you’ll know what I feel for all of you.
Always thinking of you,
Grandma

Oh LOOK! A Picture Of David Tennant- I Know, I Know-
Fancy Finding One Of Those
Around here!

So that’s what I found on the Interwebs.
Pass It On To Somebody Whose Time Deserves To Be Wasted
Yes. Its True.
When I was a little kid my Mom was fond of ” Spaghetti Westerns ” and I used to watch them with her mostly because when they were on TV on Sundays and nothing much else was going on.
Unlike my Dad she didn’t make popcorn when she watched her shows.
So why am I telling you this?
Well.
I have a confession to make- when I was a little kid I thought that Spaghetti Westerns were called “Spaghetti Westerns” because
THEY WENT ON AND ON AND ON…just like a spaghetti noodle.
Yes. Its true.
The Turtles Are Dieing
I like to think of myself as a writer, so when I sat down to try to express how I felt about the BP Oil Spill, and what it meant to me, all I could think of was a picture I saw and the first thought that popped into my head was:
The Turtles Are Dieing.
Its not fair.
To any of us.

Rain is pourin’ down like the
heavens are hurtin’.
Seems like it’s been dark since
the devil knows when.
How do you go on, never knowin’
for certain,
Will the sun ever shine again?
From HUFFPO: BP Spill 2010
Fells like it’s been years since
it started to thunder.
Clouds are campin’ out in the valley
and glen.
How do you go on, when you can’t help
but wonder.
Will the sun ever shine again?
From Getty: VENICE, LA - APRIL 30: Fishermen wait in line to receive a contract from BP company representatives to use their boats to help clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that is approaching the coast
What if the rain keeps fallin’?
What if the sky stays gray?
What if the wind keeps squallin’,
And never go away?
Nicole St Aubin: Santa Rosa National Seashore- dead animals washing up on shore already!
Maybe the soon the storm will be
tired of blowin’.
Maybe soon it all will be over, amen.
How do you go on, if there’s no way
of knowin’?
Will the sun ever shine?
Wish I could say.
Send me a sign-
One little ray.
Lord, if you’re list’nin’, how long
until then?
Will the sun ever shine again?
From AP: Research assistant Megan Broadway holds an injured sea turtle at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Miss., Saturday, May 1, 2010. The institute is gearing up to help marine mammals that may be injured by the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.
Remember The Delta
From AP: A dead sea turtle is seen along the shoreline, Saturday, May 1, 2010 in Breton National Wildlife Refuge, La.
One of my friends is letting it be known that President Obama is to be held personally responsible for the BP Oil Spill and that because the President didn’t run down there and stick his finger in the hole to stop the oil from spilling out and causing – what Interior Secretary Ken Salazar calls, “a very grave scenario” -as far as my friend is concerned the White House’s has YET to respond.
You know, my friend needs to quit sucking on teabags and pull his head out of Faux Spews backside and remember that people and the land and enviorment that they are part of and rely on are going to suffer and suffer big.
So here’s a song by my favorite storyteller/songwriter who doesn’t forget that real people are involved in ‘issues’ .
As my kids would say, Ronnie Ray is keeping it real.
Tears For The Delta ( Drill Baby Drill )
The day they drilled the well– it was money that they smelled
And the rest of the world—can– just go straight to hell.
There’s no money in the sun, and you just can’t pump the wind
But I never saw the sun— ever kill a pelican.
Oh now you’ll pay the cost—the burden is on you
Cause Mr. Oil behind closed doors—tells you what to do.
Chorus:
They have to drill baby drill
To kill baby kill
It’s how they get their thrills
Just sit back and take your pills
There’s nothing to see here.
It’s all under control
Go back inside, or take a ride
Just fill up before you go.
Second Verse:
The oil in Alaska still laps the shores
And buddy let me tell you, it’s been twenty years or more.
Supply and demand has been the command
Spread fear across the land
Like the sticky greed of man.
And when the sand is black with oil
And the singing birds are gone
How will you tell your children?
The way they used to sound.

Can You Feel It?
A few weeks ago I posted a link on my facebook to a story called:
Guy Gets Ticket 30 Seconds After Parking, Writes Awesome Letter To Contest It
My friend, bless his heart and his very well wired brain, pointed out the flaws in the ticketed man’s defense- and believe me in a court of law my friend would have won that argument and ticketed man would have been paying a fine.
Anyway, I pointed out that the point of the article was the letter because it was funny.
My friend I figured out after reading a few comments was looking for the truth in the situation but I believe that in doing that he lost the chance to have a good laugh.
I am never willing to sacrifice the opportunity to laugh.
And that’s the truth.

I knew this person who had this message on her phone, it said to go out there and make it a great day.
Oh really, I would think to myself as I waited for the beep so I could leave my message. Exactly, who was I supposed to make it a great day for?
Because, If I could create the perfect day well- you know- to be honest I’d do that for myself and my cat.
And I’d do something nice for the guy who invented PEZ .
Everybody else is on their own.
Sorry.
