Hey Bro

OK. So my Mom had dinner at the resturant Daddy works at. oh boy! So while she was eating, the guys there were talking about a kitty in the alley by the dumpster. It was abandoned there. Well my mommy went out in the alley to see the kitty. And guess what? She brought that kitty home. Smelly, dirty and icky! I feel sorry for him, but eeewww. He is dirty, and he has fleas. He is really tiny, I mean smaller than me. He is kinda striped like me only he seems to be sort of grayish. I hope I don't get fleas. I've never had fleas. I don't want fleas ICK! I hope they find a home for this kitty soon.

Miss you

Went to work with Mom. And guess what? Pigi missed me. snigger.Don't tell anyone... I missed her too. it's pretty cool missing somebody. It feels good and bad at the same time.

Some friends are better left behind

Another friend I made on vacation. His name is Benny. Well..not a good friend.

He ate my chips..didn't say thank you..then hissed at me.

But I try to be tolerant of all kinds.

Sometimes things are a bit one sided. Dad says that's OK. But

after a while you have to re-evaluate and decide if the friend is always going to eat all your chips or are they going to share sometimes?

Then you decide if you can be the only one sharing forever or maybe you just say goodbye and don't leave a forwarding address. I think I'll leave my relationship with Benny in Isla de Mujeres.

Work

Went to work with Mom today. Wow what a day. It was fun to be with Mom all day. She talks to lots of people. Lots and lots of meetings talking about numbers and clothes and stuff. Lots of paper. Lots of people coming in her office all day.I don't think I like her job so much...no banana breaks. Boy, I'm glad I brought my toys. I think it's kinda boring talking about numbers and stuff. I like all the people. We went to lunch and we got to eat in a nice resturant together. Then back to work. It was a really long day with no nap time and no recess for Mom.  I took a nap. Glad I brought my favorite blanket too. I think I like school better than work. Why don't they have nap time and reces? I think those meetings would be better after a nap. It doesn't make sense. It might be kinda fun if they had recess and nap time.

Lift off

Daddy and I got up early today and went up to the roof to watch the space shuttle this morning. Here is a picture of the shuttle taking off. Isn't it pretty. I thought it was cool. I will remember it forever. Most importantly I will remember doing it with my Dad. He is so cool.

Friendship

This is a picture of me and Piganine. She is my one of my very best friends. We have soooo much fun together. We laugh at each others jokes. We like all the same things. We do things for each other. Piggie peels my bananas for me and makes banana smoothies for me. I don't ask her to, she just does. And you know what...I like doing things like that for her too. It makes me feel good. Somehow we have gotten into sort of a groove. We take care of each other. It feels nice to do things for each other. I find myself thinking of all sorts of things to do for her. It's really nice. I like it when things are this way.

Heroes

This is a picture of Barong. Barong is one of my heroes. He is kind, kooky and mischievous. He is the defender of the good. He (I think he is a he) is the physical manifestation of a protective spirit who guards people from evil influences.

He is so powerful he can protect an entire village. That's powerful!

He is light hearted, capricious, and happy but strong. I can relate to a hero like that. If you ever go to Bali you can watch a Barong performance. They are really beautiful. And the Barongs are depicted slightly different in different places on the island. But they most usually look something like a lion or tiger. They usually have a bit of an entourage. Which is kinda cool. I think I would like to have an entourage. Maybe Piganine, bear and dog will be my entourage. I'd like to be as strong as Barong and have gamelon music playing every time I come around. I wonder if Barong eats bananas?
