Wow--it has been so long since I posted anything that I couldn't even remember the website address at first. I've chosen, or just allowed myself, to devote energies to other things for the time being, such 
as my stained glass. I'm setting out to reproduce some beautiful windows that are at the Berwyn Cafe, a vegan restaurant in College Park, MD. The windows are not so detailed to be intimidating, but are colorful and to me, breathtaking. They were taken from a house before it was torn down.
And its not like there hasn't been plenty of fodder for this mundane old blog--just last weekend, three of 'the guys' from work, as well as another staff person to keep us all legal, went to the Mid-Atlantic Reptile Show in Baltimore after the guys worked their tails off as volunteers setting up close to 200
tables, 400 chairs, etc. etc. It was heartwarming, for me, to see them doing work that would have had to been done by 'normal' people, and doing it just as well or better. And better still, they were treated like 'normal' people by their fellow volunteers, and were much appreciated.
And the week before that was, of course, the North Carolina Gourd Society's 64th Annual Gourdfest. 
Fellow gourdian Karen and I attended that one, and also volunteered taking tickets at the entrance, so as to save the $3 admission and get a free GourdFest T shirt.
Right now we are awaiting the arrival of mystery guests who will stay overnight before attending the anti-Bush march in DC tomorrow. People are supposedly coming from CT, MA, AL, and maybe NY. Just seemed as tho it was too easy just to go, march, and come home--it felt as tho we should do something to help out. 
There is a concert at 3 PM, after the march, and Joan Baez, among others, is set to perform. The organizers are hoping for 100,000 to attend, tho maybe some of them will be on the national mall for the National Festival for the Book, hosted by Laura Bush. She'd better plan to read loud...
Love the picture of the giant lizard orgy. Have fun in DC today. I'm thinking I probably won't come up there after all. I'll start planning on next weekend.

Ooh. The Thievery Corporation. They are good. And Jello Biafra. That'll be fun.

Glad to hear you supported the anti-war rally. It seems like the most emotionally intelligent people are also the most peaceful. Keep on posting...

OOOh the stain glass looks like it will be beautiful. How about a picture when you are all done with it?

I just figured I'd mention that mother of millions plant you've been writing about is highly POISONOUS, I wasn't sure if you were aware of this since you hadn't said anything about it and since you had it inside with your pets. It's been known to kill cattle and is highly toxic to both you and your housepets. I'd make sure it was disposed of away from animals.
