i went to missouri, illinois, and michigan these past three days. it was fun although i was hacking up my lungs the whole trip. dontcha hate that? i also got to see my old friend (literally) who just turned 80. i've known her all my life. she's a sweetheart...a teenager in the body of an 80 year old. she's one of the most exciting and fascinating people i've ever met, with a really dry sense of humor that i find hilarious :) she's probably more active than i am actually! she has biked 85,000 miles on her bike in her lifetime. i admire her and would like to wish her a happy 80th birthday. this is for you, mrs. hawkins :)
wow, explored! thanks guys! xoxo :)
A wonderful night at the Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip. Always gonna love these neon caricatures and, yes, I do recognize all of them!
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
We were in Leeds a day early for Leeds First Friday weekend. We went to see a comedy night at Leeds Library on the Thursday night.
First we had tea at Pieminister and unexpectedly there was a power cut while we were there. This meant the tills stopped working and so we got our meal for free! :-)
The comedy night was hosted by the very funny Chris Lumb of Shoe Cake Comedy, we had 3 great stand-ups to see - Brennan Reece, Seeta Wrilghtson and Ben Norris, all of them hilarious!
Gemma and I did a very brave thing, and quite deliberately. We sat right at the front where comedians will often pick people out! Although I suspect it's more difficult ground for a comedian to pick on a trans girl. And as it turned out, none of the comedians did pick on us, though they did pick on plenty of others in the audience, ha ha! It was a good test of our self-confidence doing that, and I really enjoyed the whole experience.
Afterwards we went for a drink in Queens Court before heading back to the hotel.

I ended up going to a last minute doctors appointment so I was really late getting all my chores done today. Also I had to do physical therapy. I still have more to do yet tonight. My dog Alfie is going to have his saliva gland removed in the morning. I will be adding to my numbers of gray hairs with worry. Please say a little prayer for him that all goes well. I will post updates on him as soon as I know something tomorrow. Thank you my dear friends for being so patient with me and my absence. The months since my surgery have been difficult because of the complications. I really appreciate all your well wishes and prayers. Have a nice evening! Hugs!
This beautiful bear was standing on her hind legs begging for her treat. The zoo keepers have trained them to do this. Aren't they so smart!
I always feel an increased thrill when these guys stand up straight and very tall for a better survey of their surroundings .. it's beautiful.

Spoonbill Standup
So, a man receives a parrot for his birthday. Unfortunately, this parrot is fully grown with a bad attitude and terrible vocabulary. Every other word was a curse. Those that weren't expletives were rude. The man tried hard to change the bird's attitude; constantly saying polite words and playing soft music. Nothing worked. When he yelled at the bird, the bird got worse. If he shook the bird, the bird got madder and ruder. Finally in a moment of desperation, the man put the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawking, kicking and screaming. Suddenly, there was quiet. The man was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto his extended arm and said: "I'm so sorry that I offended you with my language and actions, so I ask for your forgiveness. I will do everything I can to correct my behavior."
The man was astounded at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had changed him when the parrot continued: "May I ask what the chicken and turkey did?"
