Meet Mazda "Mazie" or "Maz" for short
Well, our little fighting orphan made it through the night. She’s being bottle-fed every three hours, so it’s like we have a real baby almost. Pat’s all over that part while I’m at work. Yay Pat! We took her to the vet last night and they said other than being a little cold, a little…

The boys
I spent my long weekend like this: Demolition Derby, Flagstaff Breweries, a hike in the San Francisco Mountains where if you look long and far enough the South Rim of the Grand Canyon hides itself as any other distant mountain range. I love these boys. Baby Liam and Yohanes. Both sons of Pat’s cousin. Yohanes…

Last day at work
On my last day at work I’ve: gotten a rejection, but a very nice rejection for 5 poems, eaten two pieces of pizza, got a card from co-workers, drank a sprite, cleaned out my desk of saltine crackers, recycled irrelevant health insurance documents, backed-up all my work on an electronic stick whose name is escaping…

Does this look like an adventure or what?!
In less than a month, this is where I’ll be. At the put in of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. I’m prepared to get soaking wet.

I’m too tired to write (laziness may have a part in this), so I’ll make a list of the things I don’t want to forget from the past week and then tomorrow I’ll add a place for pictures and go through the hundreds that I took in Maui. Little girl laughter trickling over airplane seats…

Memorial Day weekend with our Brooklyn girl
Brooklyn came this weekend and after she arrived, we decided to clean. Not the bathroom, but her sheets were line-dried and we gave her a fresh crunchy towel. Pat did all the dishes – our 5 glasses, 3 bowls, 5 plates now that everything else is packed. The house is completely disheveled: I’ve been moving…

Philafelphia
We got away this weekend, thank god, a late birthday present for Pat and went to a Phillies game against the Red Sox on Friday. We arrived late, but saw 2 homeruns and ate like college students and drank $8 beer. Heaven. And then we went out to South street at midnight and watched all…

We are coming home
By the end of July, this is where I will be. By August, this is where Pat will be too. I’ve been sitting on this giant egg for quite some time and finally am able to let a little peak out. I’m terrified, but so ready. We are coming home. At least more home than…
