I Love My Life

my favourite human
At the crack of dawn, which today was 8:30a.m., I was treated with a caffe latte in bed together with a copy of the Saturday news paper... on my new (previously loved and acquired recently) ipad! Joined in quiet reading by my steadfast pal, Stirling Silverfoot, I enjoyed sips of my coffee while browsing the pages of life, current events, and - I'll admit it - the Food Section.

my favourite animal
Once I was well-caffeinated and had been serenaded with "Happy Birthday" in a scat be-bop rendition by my sister Nadine, I left the comfy bed and went to the West Wing where Doug was preparing me breakfast. I was also greeted with this lovely new coffee maker - a Bialetti Crema.

Yup. It's all pretty good around here.    I forgot to mention that my dad, who is now mastering esophageal speech after his laryngectomy, also sang happy birthday to me. Apparently he'd been practicing all week. Is there a better gift?

Hey Darren... I'm in suspense!

Big Pete. I take rain checks... I'm thinkin' that new tortilla press you keep flaunting might just do the trick. Is it a portable?...
