My friend Sherie, ex sister-in-law, current buddy, forever insane person, is right up there with my sister as the best person in the world to do a road trip with. She filled the car with fruit, beef jerky and popcorn before she even picked me up at the airport.  It’s no wonder we’ve always remained so close. Well, that and because if she crosses me, I can always tell the duck soup story on her.

There is simply no better place to spend a day or your whole vacation. When I die, I want to go to animal heaven.  People just don’t do that much for me.

I know it’s a red eye flight but would it kill them to serve some pretzels?  My Aunt Louise wouldn’t drive with me from NYC to Atlantic City without stopping for a sandwish even when we left at midnight after I got off shift and even after she fed me before we left her place.  Hmmmm, could there be an answer to my food issues in that last statement?

Seriously, who are these people that get on a plane and are snoring by the time the plane hits the taxiway? Do they not understand god meant us to sleep lying down comfortably in our bed and not sitting up with 200 other people inhaling their exhale?

I will hopefully be in San Diego waiting for my connecting flight to Tucson. God how I hate night flights. God how I hate flying period during the summer.  God how I hate fliying period anymore. It’s a horrible experience and there is little other than strong drugs – that I don’t have – that can make it more pleasant.

Not a damn thing.

On the off chance my neighbors don’t already pull their kids inside when the weird lady with the old dog goes walking by, I have now purchased a carry case for my African Grey parrot, Adbul, to take walks with me.  It’s like a birdie front pack.  So far, he’s less than enthused judged by the amount of time he spends on the walk trying to chew his way out.

There is an article in the paper today that says that more kids are cutting on themselves to inflict pain and thus relieve stress.  Boy, makes my old habit of downing a bag of jelly beans and a box of Tastykakes seem mundane by comparison.
