Seven Years Later

Streams of the new day broke through the gray storm clouds as we zigsawed our path where we could up Claibourne ave. into the ninth ward. Boodini had let me know that we needed to make a go towards the crescent city once again because she knew he would be waiting. For hours out of Texas the windshield wipers gave beat to the cadence of the clicking road beneath our wheels on that Louisiana highway from Lafayette to Morgan City, and then north to New Orleans.We had arrived, and as we pulled up in front of the battered small church house roof from the boat's bow was Boo's tattered, wet, hurricane Issac beat brother. Almost a splitting imagine of herself. Like old home week.........

Nothing Doing

Most of the time we're doing stuff. Then stuff happens and the stuff we were doing turns out to be the last thing we remember.Like heading down a road and you lose track, get lost, have a senior moment, then bamm...what? It may not be what was on the schedule, or plan, or goal, but it sure feels like living.You could say clouds got in the way? Take a look down that different, winding ,deserted path your headed,open up to it and make sure to tell yourself that it's OK to do nothing, especially if your with a bud.....

Open Highway

It's now or never. Obviously noone is living forever and this running is living while I'm alive. Today after six weeks and with this state of the art brace I headed out in the hood and knocked off a 5K in 28 mins. Nothing really special to that, but it felt so right, that just the art of running was living the dream. Boodini has two races coming up but is being a very lazy girl about her training. That will not fly, there will be no more tolerating her digging in with all fours, biting her leash in rebellion against running her course, and that should be that. She won 50lbs. Of food last year at the Blue Dog Race and has eaten all of that, must defend her title. No work No Food! We' ll see what time it is tomorrow.

Just Ten Days

Besides raining in the front and back, there's the just ten day theory. It's kinda a grand ole thing. But it's been a haul that seems to be ending at least in part Tuesday, only to be followed by another, yes you guessed it , Another Ten Days. Boodini has tried her best to take over, she bit grandma again, but now she has been shut down. No more swirling and herding around now for Boo. If the cast was bitable it would have been bit. Don't know what possesses the moment but it's evil, Boodini left to her own devices contemplates nothing less than pure evil. Ten days.....
